I love this branch because it isn’t always packed (or we just happen to go at its off-peak hours?). Went here for dessert. My friends swear by their Blackout Chocolate Cake. It is so thick and heavy that it is, ideally, shared and enjoyed at a slow pace. We partnered it with riesling (but coffee is just as fine).

At long last, despite being in Kapitolyo area, I have yet to try this place and thankfully it was the place that I exactly envisioned in my head: small, cozy, delicious food, simply comforting.
The thing is, Poco Deli's place was actually a surprise to me. I feel like it's a mini-size Brotzeit, a popular German restaurant/bar in EDSA Shangri La, boasting German-native foods like sausages, beers, schnitzels, tortes and the like. Unlike Brotzeit though, Poco Deli is more on wines than beers, although the latter is serving some cold ginger/ale beers and some other European versions like Erdinger, Hoegaarden and Groslch.
Poco Deli is rather simplistic. I ordered for their "The Carnivore" so I could have a preliminary venture of their meat dishes. What I ordered is jam-packed with a slab of bacon, two smoked bbq ribs (there's an alternative choice of meat loaf which I later realized but they gave me this one), Kielbasa Sausage and some mini versions of lightly toasted pita breads. It is also accompanied by a small cup of sauerkraut. What I loved was the presentation. The Carnivore is served on a wooden chopping board with paper covering. Very simplistic but nice.
I loved all three meat delicacies served. Although I tasted something better than their smoked bbq ribs, it was still quite very good. The bacon slab was a winner. I can't wait to try their breakfast version where it is served with eggs and good helping of rice. The Kielbasa Sausage was the total winner. Juicy, succulent and tasty, I loved it to the last bite. Partner it with sauerkraut then you got a two punch team knocking your senses. I find the miniature pita breads good too, a little surprised how it can go well actually with the meat variants I ate.
I also learned that Poco Deli is quite known for its good wine selection. I even noticed from the facade of it restaurant a chalk board happy hour reminder. Though I'm still learning the ropes of wine artistry, I didn't go for it, instead I needed caffeine that day given I just arrived from vacation. To my surprise they only had "brewed coffee" in their menu and when I tasted it it's not bad plus it's organic.
What struck me really was the place. I really loved the coziness it radiates. It felt like I finally found my favorite spot. This is exactly the place that I'll keep coming back because of the comfort vibe it exhibits.
Given it is close in my neighborhood, Poco Deli caught my heart. I'll definitely visit again and again.

It was actually my first time to eat at Poco Deli just a few days ago. My family and I ordered pizza, pasta, and a rice meal. They loved the pizza and said it was worth its price but not so much the pasta. As for my meal, I think 420 is a little bit expensive for corned beef but after tasting the quality of the meat I got where the price was coming from. Food aside, I super love the ambience of the place as well as the wine collection on display-- so many choices to drink. I recommend eating here once in a while if you got money to spend or want to treat you're loved ones out on a date.
