I am quite happy with my order today. Delivery time took longer than expected because of the promo. The 50% off deal was very enticing to say the least. With a maximum discount amount of 300pesos. So, order items that did not require cooking to speed things up. Got the cheese rolls and the smallest box of lemon bars. Both were exquisitely beautiful, placed in maroon colored boxed safely snug in a brown carrier. Both pastries were pillowy soft. Almost like biting into clouds. Lightly sweetened but very flavorful. Best paired with hot drinks such as coffee or tea. Recommended.
Mary Grace Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants of all. I love their Sardines pasta as well as their Kesong Puti Salad. My husband and son always order the Fili Beef Sandwich. The food is always good no matter what branch I eat in. The staff are also friendly.
Cafe Mary Grace is where I go when I want to reward myself. A lot of people know this restaurant as the home of vigan longganisa and ensaimadas, but I personally love their longganisa and kesong puti sandwich and their excellent coffee. They give excellent customer service, too, regardless of the branch. The only con is it really is pricey.

With all those nega reviews. I will partake to give two thumbs up for them. Staffs are very accommodating with welcoming of big smile. Contrary to most. They even ask if we wish to split the dishes since we are couple diner. Next, food servings are fast. That 20 mins waiting time, it didn’t happened. Maybe of around 10 mins I guess. Food comes one at a time and not super long. We went on holidays to assume a lot of customers are coming in. Then, their must try dishes: Seafood Pasta 10/10. A lot of seafoods as you can see in the photo. Vigan Longganisa and Kesong Puti Sandwich of 9/10. Subtle taste of kesong puti matches the garlicky and all meat longganisa with sweet potato chips on the sides. That Wild Raspberry drinks containing big chunks of strawberry, yummers. Lastly, the highlight of our dine... the most sought after Cheesecake. This has been the BEST-EVER Cheesecake I ever tasted in my entire existence. Say goodbye to SB, Coffee Bean and Seattle’s Best cheesecake. This one of Mary Grace is TOPNOTCH among others. The creamy taste, bringing cheesiest palate, the combination of raspberry sauce with the cheesecake is nothing more but uhhhmmm... delicious and out of word to say. All in all, 10/10 for me experiencing my holiday dinner with Cafe Mary Grace. Recommendable. Commendable. And One Surely Will Come Back Again and Again and Again. Thank you!
Comfort food, but a little too expensive.
I've never ordered anything from the menu that I didn't enjoy. I like how simple yet sophisticated the flavors are. I feel warm and fuzzy when I eat their food, and it makes me happy. One of my favorites is the simple chocolate cake that you can have by the slice. Yum!
I also like the interior design of their stores, especially the mechanical birds and butterflies. I'm like a mesmerized child, just staring until my order comes.
The service can still be improved. Some servers are not very attentive. One time we went, we had to ask a few times to be served some water. And a few more times to bill out. It's not an inexpensive restaurant so it's expected that service would be better.
I love dining here. staff were great! we were seated immediately and the ambience is amazing. food is delicious. though a bit pricey, you will get your moneysy worth.
The food at Cafe Mary Grace never fails. My kids love their mushroom pasta. It is so creamy and tasty. My husband tried their Vigan Longanisa sandwich which is, according to him, a bomb! Of course their grilled ensaymada is very yummy.
Quaint cafe perfect for dining with the #TitasofManila. Although most of the time the cafe is full house, their staff would accomodate you. Always satisfied with their delicious pasta and cakes.
café mary grace, whichever branch you visit, offers that warm feeling of lola’s house on a sunday afternoon. lighting is perfectly subdued but not too dark, the staff is always smiling, their meals and pastries always satisfy without burning a hole on your pocket.
my family and i especially love the chocolate truffle cake and kesong puti; the perfect snack after a long day of walking around the mall.
I usually liked to hang out in cafes after a gastronomic lunch and this time decided to try out Mary Grace in Festival Mall. Its pretty new because the mall extention had just been constructed but that doesn’t stop Mary Grace from blooming. I felt like a tita (not that its a bad thing) the whole time because the space scream out elegance (like the tita we wanted). The place was well lit, beautifully decorated, a little cramped but can be tolerated and the food was wonderful. Tried the caramel and toasted cashew for a little panghimagas paired with latte. I would definitely try more if you ask me. 😘
Service is great. Love the ambiance of the place as all other Mary Grace.
Love the food here. Altho i wished they have more rice dishes to serve soon. I love the seafood pasta. Just right noodle.
Good for people watching as this place is located nicely just after the landmark entrance and exit.
Would recommend this place for people who are into good food at reasonable price. Service water is infused with lemon.
It's such a refreshing feeling entering this branch. It's our first time here so we were very delighted because of the warm and fuzzy feeling the ambiance brings. We were served well by Marcus and Ivy. The piped-in music is pleasing to the ears. The other photographs are in the gallery, but since it's the first time for me to eat the grilled fish and bell pepper sandwich at any Mary Grace branch, it's what I am including here. I am not a fan of bell pepper, but I surely enjoyed this sandwich. Extra props for Marcus. He is very alert and courteous. I think I am adding this branch to my faves. Kudos to everyone involved in this biz!
Gotta be the homeliest of all the branches I've been to. The relaxing ambience just makes me so comfortable, therefore waiting for my order to be served was a breeze. The al fresco area looked very inviting for a chill afternoon break.Cheddar Cheese with Tomatoes & Capers tasted okay. The Spanish Sardines & Olives is really good, a close contender to the sardines linguine pasta from CBTL which is my favorite. I usually go for their Perfect Plates set when I'm so hungry, and the Fresh Tomato and Herb plate is my go-to.Customer service is excellent as usual. I think I'll frequent this branch, I really liked their location.
I've eaten in several branches of Mary Grace but this one is the best one in my opinion. The food was served very fast even when considering the fact that it was not full. True quality of the food was also on point.

I have visited several branches of this homey restaurant and I've seldom been disappointed. Although it is my fallback place for merienda (hello, my favorite grilled ensaymada and mint hot chocolate!), on this particular visit we went all-out celebration mode, since it was a graduation lunch for a special family member.
I like this branch in Festival Mall, although it is not a very big one. But it makes up for its lack of space with the "sidewalk cafe" style set-up right outside the restaurant proper, and right before the 2nd floor entrance to Landmark department store.
We started with the Crispy Cassava Chips with Onion Dip, which we polished off in no time. The chips were light and airy and that onion dip was quite addictive!
Our Margarita Pizza came next, which was made just to my liking, with a flavorful thin crust and huge chunks of fresh (and peeled) tomatoes on top.
We ordered Seafood Chowder, but were disappointed when we were told it wasn't available. So we just went ahead with our other orders. The Boneless Bangus and Sirloin Beef Tapa are always a good choice. If you don't know what to order, you can't go wrong with their all-day breakfast line-up, which comes with eggs, fried rice, and sidings.
For pasta, we had the Smoked Salmon and Cream Pasta and the Chorizo and Olives Pasta. Both were very delicious, and quite filling for their modest size.
Lastly, we tried the Herb and Tomato Perfect Plate, which had helpings of both Grilled Chicken and Orange Salad (with Black Olive Dressing) and a small bowl of the tomato and herb pasta. It also came with a dessert -- a Caramel Vanilla Bean Cake. I loved the pasta and could have eaten a whole plate of it. The cake was surprisingly yummy. The salad, however, I enjoyed less. The dressing was ok, but I found the greens to be too bitter for my taste. It wasn't my favorite salad.
Service was not consistent, with the staff being attentive only half the time. At one point, one server didn't even look our way when we tried calling him several times. The tables were not filled so we didn't understand why. But except for those small gaffes, on the whole we had a great time at this branch.
I prefer to buy their cake and other desserts for take out but this is my first time for dine in. I ordered their Vigan Longganisa and Kesong Puti sandwich at a price of P305. It was pretty expensive for a sandwich which did not have enough servings of longganisa. For dessert, I got myself their Limone Santi. The frozen lemon curd goes well with the cream and graham crust. I would not mind sampling all their cakes.
Certifiably a #titas hangout due to its decorated interiors, but my friend and I loved to come here because it's incomparable to any restaurant or say, a cafe, inside the mall. I usually order their cream-based pastas with seafood. Their hot chocolate is also good. Their ensaymadas, uhm, not much a fan because I've tried somewhere better (though that somewhere was a bit pricey but worth it). I loved their restroom! Haha! I think there is no other restroom which is artsy and interiored as Mary Grace's.
The food here is good but in my opinion, a tad overpriced for the type and quantity they serve. Their pizza is really good though and it’s what makes me come back because it’s my daughter’s favorite. They also have a wide selection of pasta dishes that are worth trying—the mushroom cream being the one I like the most.
We ordered their Chicken Inasal and Longganisa both with eggs and garlic rice for lunch. They taste good unlike the Tocino we ordered when we were here in this branch for the first time. The chicken is easy to eat since it's boneless and their longganisa has few fats. Their ensaymada, as usual, is to die for. However, I think the food are overpriced.
The ambiance is great, just like other Mary Grace outlets. Their common comfort room is clean and the design is cute and pleasing to the eye. The staff are attentive and friendly. Serving time is just right when we went here on a Sunday, 11am.
One of the restaurants with a good view of the park. The ambience is just like the other MG outlets, but this one gives a more airy atmosphere, perhaps due to the natural lighting in the outdoor seating.
Service is prompt, courteous and friendly.
Had for appetizer pate' dulong in olive oil. A little spongy smell that leaves some fishy aftertaste.
It was brunch time, perfect for their all-day breakfast menu. Vigan longganisa is authentic: spiced, garlicky vinegar flavor, tender and juicy with just enough oiliness that is balanced by a refreshing thinly-sliced pickled mango, that is just on the brink of its ripeness. Perfectly cooked sunny-side up egg with the garlic-topped fried rice. Food served at the right temperature in typical pinoy breakfast presentation.
Classic Ensaymada, the signature of MG was a bit of disappointment; I've tried it before but the one served was not the usual - the bread is a bit on the dry. Perhaps just this one, will still be coming back.

As soon as they've handed us the feedback form, we gave them straight 'excellent's right away.
Cafe Mary Grace lives up to everyone's expectations. The place looked great inside out - the decoration gave off that cozy romantic vibe so it's a nice choice for couples out there.
They had an attentive staff - each one had a smile on while serving. Preparation time was the usual 15-20 minute standard.
We started with the Seafood Chowder as recommended by our server, one of their best sellers, and it is what it says on their menu - a hearty chowder with seafood in every spoonful. It's a win for me (seafood lover).
We then got the Caesar Salad and Chicken Inasal Sandwich. Both were pretty good. The salad was very tasty - the generous amount of bacon bits and the meat (chicken nuggets) really gave life to the dish. The sandwich on the other hand was ok. It had a dominant taste of pesto instead of the 'inasal' taste I was expecting so it was a bit misleading. The bread was a little tough so if you're the type that uses utensils on their sandwiches, please, I suggest you just bite into this one, it'll be much easier.
Nonetheless, I'm still giving them a 4.5 'cause we had a pleasant overall experience. Plus, our dessert was a taste of heaven! We tried the Mango Bene, and it's a perfect combination of sweet and a sour. A bit pricey but they give big slices here, a serving is good for two.
Hoping to choose a better sandwich on our next visit or perhaps... I'll go for their pastas.
Foods were overpriced, in my own opinion. But I really liked their mango atchara. Ambiance and candles are really nice. But if I were to compare the prices of Conti's Mango Bravo and Cafe Mary Grace's Mango Bene, which I think there's only little difference, I'll go with Conti's.
I haven't tried their other cakes yet but my rating would still change if ever.

Smoked Salmon and Cream Pasta - smoked salmon sautéed with garlic, cream, and dill. Cafe Mary Grace has been one of my favorite restaurants but I was not impressed by this one. I can barely taste the dill. Overall, the pasta was just average (note: photo was half serving only).
Fried Keson Puti and Calamansi Vinaigrette - this one was made classic with kesong puti! If you haven't tried this yet, this is the time that you should.
Mushroom Cream Pasta - masarap but quite normal.
Parma Ham and Arugula - first time to try this type of pizza and it turned out good! This proved that they are not just about ensaymada and pasta!
Sans Rival - chewy meringue topped with cashew. This one is comparable with the original sans rival.
Tiramisu - another favorite!
Crispy Cassava Chips with Onion Dip - this was surprisingly good! A healthier option when you're craving for some chips.
