👍👍 Good breakfast and brunch menu. The bakery is the star of this place! Tried the filled donuts, huge croissants in wide variety - that was so yummy and very filling! This can be a go-to place when you don’t want to think of where to eat, just go to Bungalow. People often mention good, pastries, taste, breakfast, ordered, coffee, chocolate, menu, cake, donuts,

    Great brunch place! The adobo rice is a winner. I love the eggs benedict as well. Make sure you make space for the donuts. The donuts get sold out fast. The portions are big and good for sharing. The squid ink pasta was too rich for me. Service can be better.

    This place is always packed but that’s cause what they offer is just that good! I go there for the pastries and sweets and always get their carrot cake as something to contribute for a dinner party with friends (note: for a whole cake you’ll have to make an order a few days before you need it). Their pastries are the kind that aren’t overwhelmingly sweet and everything they serve looks great too! My other favorites I think worth trying are the lemon squares, stuffed donuts, and tres leches cake!

    🍽8.5/10 (based on what we ordered) I SWEAR. THEY HAVE THE BEST MILKSHAKES. However, I have always found majority of their servers to be very unfriendly (service: 4/10).

    Great brunch and breakfast place! Their coffee menu is so good 👍🏼 order the flat white and long black. Try their blueberry pancake and egg omelet (mushroom) to kick off your day! They don't serve in house water anymore, but instead you'll have to order the Hope in a Bottle. But it's all good. For dessert, order the expresso chocolate cake! Food is a bit on the pricey side but their table service is spot on. Servers are very attentive. Kudos to Dens who took care of our dining needs 🙌🏼 cheers!

    Nice ambience, fast service and good food. Pineapple glazed belly : love the mushroom rice. The smokey flavor from the mushroom and rice went well with the marinated pork belly. Squid ink seafood pasta : the pasta was aldente and the seafood was fresh and nicely cooked. Fish-o-fillet : taste was ok, and it comes with generous amount of chips. Chocolate Cinnamon Bun : it was average only. There was too much bun and not enough chocolate and cinnamon. Highly recommend their hot hazelnut chocolate and cinnamon chocolate. They were very thick and rich. It's like drinking a cup of melted Ferrero Rocher.

    The restaurant has a great rustic feeling to it. If you don't want to wait in line, it would be better to get there 10 minutes before the restaurant opens. We went here on a Saturday and I noticed there was a line for the restaurant around 20 or 30 minutes after it opened. The food was fabulous! The grilled cheese was melty and the salad it came with had a considerable serving with it. Had I known that I might not have ordered an additional rice meal. The drinks were also superb. I love that there was a mint flavor as well.

    Upon entering the cafe, you’ll definitely love the interiors and the ambiance. Food prices are quite high but considering the taste quality of their food is fine with me. I can't say more about their pastries and other goodies because everything is worth to try. They even assisted us on where our table is.

    Love their donuts and used to preorder many times before. But I find their pastries too sweet already, even the Strawberry banana smoothie we ordered. The place can feel too crowded especially with the layout of the seats that are too close to each other. Perhaps it's best to come at a off-peak hours.

    This is my favorite restaurant cafe in the south! Always packed (with social distancing lol) and there's a queue for takeaway. What can I say but this place is really amazing. I always drop by regularly to get my weekly supply of bread or pastry. The pistachio pan au chocolat is an absolute must try! Everything is just fantastic. Their meals and coffee are simply the best. Would surely continue to visit.

    We went here for desserts. The carrot cake and hazelnut were sinfully delicious. Vietnamese coffee was good, the coconut coffee latte has very mild taste. Overall, it was good but imo a little overpriced. Dining was also a little confusing because the cakes and pastries are on one side of the restaurant and not included in the menu, so if you're new you can miss them.

    If you’re looking for a place that sells great food and has a wonderful ambiance, I highly suggest you try out Bungalow. We’ve been here too many times already and we always come back for their glazed chicken wings and potatoes and gravy. They have baked goods as-well. Everything else is 10/10.

    We initially visited because of milkshake but unfortunately it wasn't available during the afternoon. I guess that is something to think about when visiting the place. But the food that we ordered is all good! I'm really surprised with the Carbonara that they have as the sauce is so thick and tasted like cheese. I also enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich a lot! We will definitely visit again next time in order to get a taste of their pastries and milkshake.

    I recently visited Bongalow Cafe and Bakery, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. Not only was the price incredibly reasonable, but the quality of the food far exceeded my expectations. Every bite was bursting with delicious flavors, and the presentation was top-notch. I highly recommend Bongalow to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience that won't break the bank. I'll definitely be returning for more of their delectable treats!

    Manila. Maybe I expected too much from this cafe since it always got mentioned as a good place to eat at in the South but sadly it was not. My buttermilk fried chicken was dry & definitively needed the gravy to help make it an average dish at most. The cornbread was good though so maybe their strength is in their pastries because it’s definitely not in the savory department.

    My favorite pineapple glazed belly and Davao hot chocolate! I will always go back to Bungalow. Also, I consider myself a hot chocolate con​nois​seur, and with thousands of hot chocolate I've drunk, Bungalow's Davao hot chocolate is my favorite.

    This place has a nice ambiance for a brunch. Their menu is filled with lots of dishes for breakfast. In this occasion, we had their eggs benedict and strawberry french toast with a flat white. The eggs benedict had a perfectly sous vide egg and a nice rich sauce hollandaise sauce. Strawberry french toast was made with a brioche loaf and topped with a very good strawberry compote and ricotta cream sauce. Flat white was excellent. Overall, while it was a nice experience it was also pretty expensive for breakfast food. Serving sizes are okay but should be more filling for the price.

    Food and interior is great. Drinks and pastries are my fav here. They run out early of donuts so you need to be an early bird.

    Went here only for dessert and a place to talk to after having lunch. Considering the small space and how packed it was, the place was surprisingly chill and we were still able to enjoy our talk. We had to wait 30-45 minutes to be seated, but the good thing was they'll get your phone # so that they can just get in touch when you're up. Strawberry milkshake was expensive but it was WORTH IT. I can see myself coming back here to get it again or to try the other shake. The slushies were OK and refreshing, but I can't say I'd get it again. The friend who ordered Thai Dye said it purified her soul lol.

    One of the best coffee in the area. Paired it with their donut, perfectly matched! Ordered legit carbonara to top it all off. Though the resto is a bit hot in the afternoon, have to improve the ambient temp for overall comfort.

    We ordered the sundried tomato pesto and carbonara. They were just okay in terms of taste. They were very expensive, but I guess it's fine since the portion size was adequate. We also ordered the strawberry banana smoothie, which was nice except for the unnecessary chia seeds. The watermelon smoothie was quite refreshing. The tables were too near to each other, it was super awkward. Great service, though.

  • 2/5 Keith S. 7 months ago on Google
    I was disappointed. Its hard to have an available spot for dine in so I didn’t expect this food experience here. Ordered Chicken Sandwich to go, super bland. The chicken tastes like it wasn’t seasoned well. Pastries are hit or miss. Which I think is not worth it since they have a pricey menu. 1/2 baked cookie is good. Filled doughnut not good. Ordered a slice of strawberry bomb cake, it was ok. But not worth to 300+ price. Cafe mocha was too bitter and not hot when served.

    Had a great breakfast here before heading back to the north area. We ordered the omelet and the pork belly. Though, I didn't quite enjoy their oat milk latte.. it tasted tangy and acidic. I prefer the darker and bold taste for my coffee. The oat milk also didn't add any creamy taste..

    Great food, service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed our stay here. Great selection of desserts and cocktails 🍹

  • 4/5 Marlon Jr. C. 2 years ago on Google
    I love their croissant pastries especially the Postachio one and their breakfast menu, Eggs Benedict. I often go back to taste different food menus. Pineapple glazed Pork belly tastes really good but the Fried chicken, not so much. Overall, they provide quality output to their products. For improvement, they need to add more space for dine in customers.

    We visited Bungalow on a Thurday morning. It was full but we were seated within 10 minutes. The service was efficient and friendly. We had the salmon main dish, aptly called The Salmon and their Eggs Ben. Their serving was generous and delicious at the same time. We also tried their Hazelnut Milk Chocolate croissant and Truffle Chocolate. I’d recommend the former over the latter.

  • 5/5 Alejandro José Guilatco (. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is to go back for but you have to go early as the line to eat here gets long. They dont accept reservations as of the moment. Price is reasonable but if you are a cheapo who is looking for a 100php budget meal this aint the place for you.

  • 4/5 MrsWayfarer 2 years ago on Google
    Spacious resto with all day breakfast options. Their waitstaff were attentive and efficient. We had long black and I liked the taste of their coffee. We shared their pancake which had a big serving and was quite yummy.

  • 5/5 Mary Armi M. 1 year ago on Google
    I would always love to have my breakfast here as the pastries are good, the ambience is nice, and the food was awesome. I have been here before, during and post pandemic and they still retained the quality of the food. The price is reasonable for good food. I also had lunch here and I can say the pasta and lunch meals are very good. Lattes are also delicioso. A must-try in the South!

  • 4/5 Robbie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Being from the north of the Metro, it’s very rare that I find myself heading to the south for a meal / night out. But, havIng tried out a few of their menu items, I must say that the trip was worth it. Parking at Molito was plentiful but I’m sure it can be difficult on peak days. The place has a cozy vibe and the staff was very polite and efficient. The food portions are generous and the Eggs Benedict and Carrot cake I had was very tasty. Can’t wait for the next opportunity to visit
