About Cafe Mary Grace

Cafe Mary Grace traces its roots to its founder’s passion for baking that dates back to 1983. Mary Grace Dimacali, the creative force behind the brand, started her journey as a young mother with a knack for working with dough and batter. Her delectable creations soon gained popularity among friends and family, leading to the birth of Cafe Mary Grace. Today, it stands as a true embodiment of their love for good food and warm hospitality.

The Charming Ambiance

This relatively newly opened glasshouse branch of Cafe Mary Grace in Arcovia City exudes a homey ambiance. The warm lighting fixtures, a mix of dark wood and colorful tiles, and walls adorned with art pieces and handwritten letters from customers—all contributed to the inviting atmosphere. The glasshouse portion, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, allowed natural light to flood the space, creating a cozy yet refreshing environment.

Brunch Feast Highlights

Our feast at Cafe Mary Grace included a delightful array of dishes that include our classic favorites as well as fresh discoveries.

The Grilled Kesong Puti with Batard Bread (Php238) was a savory start, featuring local white cheese grilled to perfection and topped with garlic, tomato, and olive oil, then served with toasted slices of batard bread. Each bite was a taste of Filipino flavors combined with a touch of elegance.

I always go back to the Mary Grace Mushroom Cream Pasta (Php498 + Php150 for Prosciutto Topping) for its velvety blend of earthy mushrooms, cream, and the salty allure of prosciutto.

My son #ExhibitB, on the other hand, is loyal to the Pasta Amatriciana with Italian Meatballs (Php433), perfectly cooked pasta bathed in a rich tomato sauce, generously adorned with succulent Italian meatballs.

Sating Hubby’s craving for hearty servings of Pinoy food was Cafe Mary Grace’s Toasted Vigan Longganisa All-Day Breakfast (Php502). The deliciously garlicky homemade local sausage offered a burst of flavors, complemented by rosemary garlic fried rice and fried eggs.

And of course, we couldn’t leave without indulging our collective sweet tooth with the Mango Bene (Php278), a luscious “summer-cake” made with frozen layers of meringue, custard cream, and fresh Philippine mangoes.

A tita brunch at Cafe Mary Grace, Eastwood Mall

I heard someone say that Cafe Mary Grace is the go-to place of “titas.”

Well, based on a brunch experience I had here (prior to a bowling game with my officemates!), I would have to agree.

As a newly-minted #TitaOfManila (or having just accepted that yes, I am already a tita), I would say that Cafe Mary Grace’s Eastwood Mall branch does qualify for top three criteria of a tita brunch place, which include:

One: Comfortable and IG-worthy surroundings

Cafe Mary Grace grew out of the baking business of the cafe’s namesake, which started from joining Christmas bazaars to establishing mall-based kiosks to finally setting up full-service cafes.

This Mary Grace Cafe branch in Eastwood Mall has the homey and welcoming atmosphere that exemplifies Mary Grace’s essence: the Goodness of Home.

It premises look like an extension of a sprawling and idealized country-style kitchen where wooden chairs and tables provide ample and comfortable seating, personal bric-a-bracs are artfully arranged on shelves and personalized notes are inserted on tabletops.

Furthermore, an IG-conscious tita like me can take her pick among the various photogenic backdrops for her #CoffeeIsLife or #EatingForTheGram post of the day.

Two: Tasty well-loved dishes

You can’t go wrong with the classics and Cafe Mary Grace has classics a-plenty.

Take the Toasted Vigan Longganisa (Php442), for example. Rising and shining won’t be a problem with this all-day breakfast item which consist of links of garlicky Vigan longganisa, two sunny-side up eggs and garlic fried rice, with homemade pickled mangoes, tomato-wansoy salsa and vinegar available upon request.

In the Spanish Sardines and Olives Pasta (Php378), on the other hand, an aglio e olio infusion is enriched with Spanish-style sardines and topped with olives and tomatoes.

Titas often crave for something sweet after (or before, or during or within 24 hours of) a meal. Fortunately, Mary Grace’s all-time favorite Lemon Bar (Php58/bar) sates the sweet tooth with its moist, buttery texture and slightly tangy sweetness.

Lastly, the Mary Grace Hot Chocolate (Php184), made with premium Belgian chocolate, is a rich and comforting end to the meal.

Three: Prompt and friendly service.

Words to the wise restaurateurs: don’t keep a tita waiting. Show some good ole’ fashioned friendliness, a willingness to help and some initiative, you might have just won a loyal customer who wouldn’t hesitate to nominate your place for the next #TitaConvention with her friends.

Cafe Mary Grace seems to keep this adage to heart with its crew of well-trained and accommodating staff who are quick to assist with inquiries and requests.

So fellow titas, the next brunch time is at Cafe Mary Grace, yes?
