    A very nice and cozy coffee shop. The cakes are very delicious and the coffee taste is great. You can easily smell the coffee beans when entering the cafe. The place always have many customers. The service is great and fast. It was a nice experience trying this coffee shop.

    I had dinner at the Makati branch and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. I ordered the veggie hash salad, but I was disappointed to find that the lettuce had black spots and slimy leaves. Half of the lettuce has black spots. I promptly brought this to the attention of the server, who kindly replaced the lettuce with fresh ones. However, I believe the overall experience could have been salvaged if they had replaced the entire order rather than just the lettuce. Also, the take-out order I received was completely different from what I had expected when I arrived home, resulting in a truly terrible experience. ☹️

    Cozy ambience. I could tell most of the furniture and decor are from IKEA lol. They have a bundle meal which is pictured below. The food is okay. The coffee is actually good, a must try for sure. They also have this drink called "KalMa" which means kalamansi+matcha and ya'll have to try it lol. Most of the customers there are working so if you want a place to work in, here is the perfect cafe for that. Overall, will come back here!

    We’re intrigued by this Melbourne-style cafe that opened near our previous office location and we get the hype sadly it’s overpriced for us. They have that kind of Melbourne vibe because of busy people having conversations but I am missing the scent of coffee plus the people that will line up at the counter. The food is just okay, for 400+ you’ll have a decent meal. Generous serving of gambas but for the lechon kawali, quality of pork is meh for me, it’s not even crunchy. :( I hope they can extend their menu with pasta/pizza. For our drinks, we had Kalma which is very refreshing and unique. The service is excellent, no question about it. Interior is very pleasing to the eyes too, but like I mentioned, can’t feel much of Melbourne.

    Great place to work in the mornings. They have internet and outlets. Food is also great, typical Makati prices. Ordered the Melbourne Fog and the Veggie Hash and both tasted good. Also tried the ube pinipig drink a while back and liked it.

    Happy with the coffee and food. The veggie sandwich was awesome and so was the breakfast brisket, Manila style. For the coffee both the tiramisu (in oat milk) was good, not too sweet. The citrus cold brew was on the other hand was swabe.

    Food was great but I really can’t help but be bothered by dirty pitcher we were given (pictured). If those are water stains, how long has it been this pitcher was last washed. 🤢 The crispy baby potatoes were soo good. And the meat for the lechon kawali and charsiu pork we ordered were tender. We went here on a Saturday night but we were seated promptly. Parking is a a bit of a challenge but we were able to park on a nearby street. Overall a good experience.

    Good food but we’ve experience a service where they only cooked the food we ordered when we followed up. They made excuses about having troubles in the kitchen. We’ve waited for almost an hour. Ate here for brunch tho. Though we appreciate the server for saying sorry.

    2nd review: Visited again and dined alfresco. I think it's better to dine alfresco than inside. The waiter was very attentive and even switched on the fan for me. I got the Pork Belly and Cafe Mocha. The pork belly was really good and serving size is very filling. Cafe mocha is cafe mocha and that's fine. Added photos, please see. 1st review: Visited Palanca St and happy to find Panco open. The staff were really quick, polite and attentive. The Lechon Kawali was delicious, serving portion was enough, plating exceptional. The vanilla coffee was not as tasteful as I'd hope. I'll order a different drink next time. I was here in the morning (waiting for a friend) until lunch time. In the early hours, it's cozy and quiet. But when lunch time hit, the acoustic design of the place really needs improving. The noise just bounces around it gave me a headache. I've read the other reviews saying it's a bit overpriced, I partially agree on that. Overall, experience was great. Will come back.

    First time here and all I can say is, I will be back. Aside from the spacious café size, good location, and great ambience, the food was really great. Didn't drink the caffeinated drinks yet but I'll surely be back and taste them. I tried the strawberry lychee and it gets better as the drink sits longer. The Breakfast Brisket is so good and super worth the price. Aside from this, a must-try is the Panco's Kakanin for that sweet ending.

    This simple and minimalistic place is located in a quiet street with really good comfort food. The sisig Palabok had thin noodles and you can also ask for it to be extra spicy. The food was warm and it was cooked fresh. The Ube Pinipig drink was simple yet so satisfying. It tasted good even after all the ice had melted. The service was prompt and the staff were friendly. It’s really a go-to cafe in the middle of the hustle and bustle center of Makati.

    Leeggitt.. Food were delicious! Ambience was perfect! Price was reasonable! Few cafe restaurants that I'll definitely go back to! Really impressed with the interior and service! PS. We ordered Fish Tartare and Can't believe it's vego. Both were very good! The Breakfast Brisket and panco's kakanin was from Podium branch which was a week after, these were excellent as well :)

    Great coffee and food! We were surprised at how big the portions are, the tamarind fried chicken is really good and high recommend! Their Panco Kakanin (as dessert) is really good as well. Food is also reasonably priced. Will definitely go back.

    I ordered the Breakfast Brisket Aussie style. The beef was tender but I find it a little sweet for a sandwich. The chips & pickled salad that came with it was great to break the taste. Loved the ube cake.☺️ Service was great. Staff were pleasant. Looking forward to trying out their other dishes.

    Love their food and beverages. It is really a fusion of Filipino and Aus cuisine. Crews are friendly and they are really oriented with what they offer. Ideal place to work and have some catch-ups with friends🫶🏻

    Good place to stay in and focus. Service is good, and place is equippped with Wi-Fi and sockets for those who plan on staying for quite a while. Food can be quite pricey, but drinks are fairly reasonable I would say.

    new restaurant just open recently. everything now smells like "new decoration " kinda not much enjoy that smell. clean and spacious. i love the flowers on every table, but too much small tables in one room does not look so good feel a little dull. not much available on the manu, wish could bring more things on it.

    5/5 ⭐️ place is worth the hype! coffee - ordered dirty mocha for myself and it was 💣👏 so thick and flavorful. my mom loved her tiramisu latte as well. I’m really hoping their iced coffee specialties get more options for non-dairy though! food - got the longganisa melbourne style and it tasted good! I really liked the sides too, the rootcrop chips with the sauce was addicting 😛 personally like how the food didnt put me in a food coma, the serving was just right! service - top notch! the drinks and food were served promptly, and the staff were hands on. 👌 over all a good experience! would love to come back again and try other things 💗

    Food is definitely good if you are craving for classic Filipino breakfast. I ordered Breakfast Brisket and Dirty Mocha. Both were delicious! Almost did not finish my brisket since the serving is quite big. I am curious and keen to try their other dishes including dessert. I did went back for 2nd time in their Podium branch to bring my colleagues who have not tried Panco. Went on a Sunday morning and was surprised to see a jampacked, quite noisy brunch place. It was filled with a young crowd. Happy for the business growth. It just takes away the coziness and relaxing vibe a cafe usually has. But if I'm in the area, will definitely still consider eating out here. With this, expect the service to be slower too. If you're craving classic Filipino food with a bit of a twist which is usually greasy, can try Panco cafe. The price is a bit higher than other breakfast place but can go down if you share with a friend.

    The black out cake was good. It’s a fudgy and dense cake that’s not too sweet. Service was just ok. The reason why I probably won’t go back is because of the place. It feels like a cafeteria. You can hear everyone’s conversations so you have to talk loud to hear the people in your own table. If you’re alone and want a place to study or work, don’t go here unless you have noise cancelling headphones. If you want to hang out with friends or family, go somewhere else unless you’re willing to shout throughout your meal. I tried to give Panco a 2nd chance, this is my 2nd visit after a few months. Oh well. The decor of the place is nice though.

    Super spacious! Good food - from meals to desserts and amazing coffee!! Good place to hang and chill with a friend and even go on a solo date with yourself, read a book or work remotely. Loved the veg-o sandwich— you don’t realize it’s all vegetables! Definitely a must try!!!!

    Their single origin pour over coffee is good. Sadly, you cannot order the origin you like. They only serve "Origin for the Day" style. Hope this changes. Their Blueberry Cheesecake is also good. Staff were friendly and quick on their feet. The place is nicely lighted.
