I love the veggie salads and cakes at The Chocolate Kiss Cafe! The dates/walnut, carrot and dayap cakes are among my fave flavors... that I keep coming back to this cafe whenever I have cravings for cakes and salads.
Happiness overload... cravings satisfied! Moreover, the manager and staff are giving the utmost attention and fast service to their customers! Kudos to the team and keep up the good job!
God bless you even more!
The ambiance was great so did the service, the staff were very accommodating.
I had some hesitation about the Dayap cake but it was great :) The prices were reasonable and the food serving is good enough for sharing.
The Hickory BBQ ribs was delicious, although I would have preferred it with the garlic mashed potatoes but they ran out but I am absolutely coming back for more. Looking forward to have the Chocolate Kiss Suite 4 different cakes yum!

I always loved the "turon" with caramel and the fresh iced tea with honey & calamansi!�
Great resto in UP Diliman, where you can bring foreign or local visitors!�
A favorite place to rekindle and strengthen friendships. Love the dayap cake!

Great food.Excellent service.Superb staff.
Happy tummy!!!
Great service, great food, great value. We will definitely be back.
Loved the salisbury and the hickory ribs. Awesome devils food cake.... the staff were courteous. Will surely comeback for their kiev and cakes
love the caesar salad there- my home away from home! unbeatable
Will miss you Chocolate Kiss Cafe. Such fond memories, although I live in the South, I managed to dine at your establishment, while waiting for a film premiere at the nearby UP Film Center. I enjoyed the ambiance, food and the vibe your restaurant exude. See you soon !
Had brunch here with college friends, and everything felt nostalgic. The cakes here are really delicious and moist! It also has really good value for money. Service was a bit slow since the restaurant was packed.
Great ambiance specially for a date night since they have a live band serenading the whole place. Nice and accommodating staff. Lots of food choices. Prices are okay. I tried their bottomless tea which tasted really good with the honey. Their sour cream cheesecake was also delicious. Can’t wait to try their quezo cake!
Another nostalgia food trip in the old campus. Great place for exchanging ideas while enjoying good food. Pleased with the salisbury steak serving that I think would go well whether you chose rice or mashed potatoes to go with it. The rest of our group also ordered other dishes which I would like go back to try again. Tempted to order some more but had to restrain myself. Looking forward to other bestsellers on the list.
Visited UP after a long while, and Choco Kiss will always be a part of that. I have no recommendations on what to get except for the Devil’s Food Cake!
I’ve been going here since I was in college. They serve the ultimate comfort foods and the most delicious iced tea. I recommend their eggplant parmigiana and the carrot cake. I also like their kahlua and dayap cakes.
Been here countless times starting with my enrollment as a freshman in UP and until now, a decade after. And every time I eat here, I could say that their service and food quality is consistent. I particularly like their carrot cake and though not an iced tea person, I am always a fan of their iced tea coz you get to pour the syrup and squeeze in the calamansi according to your liking — so bottomless order it is when I’ve got the chance. Also their hickory smoked spare ribs is a great dish to try. :)

Had these for delivery via Food Panda, and everything cost us 384 php because of the 600 php off when you use your BDO Card! Unfortunately forgot to take pics because we were so hungry already.
1. Chicken Kiev with rice (240 php): I enjoyed this very much. The chicken roll serving was generous and flavorful because of the cream cheese and herbs. It also goes well with their gravy.
2. Chix in a Basket (240 php): This one I truly enjoyed. The chicken wasn’t mushy, it was pure chicken breast but still very tender and flavorful. I liked how the fries were mildly seasoned to not overpower the chicken. This comes with bbq sauce which was also good but serving size was limited.
3. Hickory Smoked Spareribs with rice (245 php): Bit disappointed because of the chewy consistency of the ribs, but flavor was good and serving size was generous, it can probably feed 2 people with moderate appetite.
4. Dayap Chiffon Cake (120 php): Good for one or two bites but because of how sweet it is, I’ll prolly never finish even half of it. I still wanna try their other cakes because of the promising reviews I found.
Definitely recommend this resto for some good comfort food in the heart of UP. Hope to see some more improvements to maximize its potential.
This has been here forever and is so well-loved! It was jampacked last night with couples, group of friends and families.
Understandably so since the food is delicious and reasonably-priced, the cakes are classic and awesome, and the service is two thumbs up! My friends and I really enjoyed everything we ate.
I had the Kalbichim, another had her favorite beef salpicao and the third one chose the clubhouse sandwich. We also shared four slices of various cakes (the devil's foodcake has no photo since it was gone in a sec. Hahaha!) Worthy to mention, too, is their bottomless iced tea (served with sugar syrup & calamansi).
Til next time! And that will be real soon!

I’ve been here countless times in the past especially during my younger days. Years have gone and this spot has stood the test of time. It has been a go-to place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. They got rice meals, pasta, sandwiches, a range of appetizers, healthy picks and of course, desserts.
After my talk nearby, my team and I took a short stop here for merienda. We consumed the token I got, their best selling Devil’s Food Cake, a moist chocolate cake with sweet sticky marshmallow spread on its top.
Our table also ordered a bunch of other stuff, but unfortunately not as impressive like before. Their fresh Tomato Soup, as stated seemed like an old stock of Pork and Beans. I wasn’t also fond of their Apple Chicken Salad for its overflow of mayonnaise making it too sour and mushy.
The Spinach Dip was creamy and cheesy. This could have been better though if it came with toasted, warm bread. The Adobo Flakes, however, turned out to be a better order. It had well-flavored meat with a balance of crunch and moist textures on every bite.
As if our cake wasn’t enough, we got a hot, chunky cookie topped with a hefty scoop of vanilla ice cream as well.

Ah, THE restaurant of my uni days. Come to the Bahay ng Alumni branch, second floor. Anywhere else will be off (sorry, haha). Will try to cram fourteen years of love into one review.
First, order their bottomless iced tea. The little jug they give you is the sweetener, NOT the refill (as one unfortunate friend discovered our first time there). The tea is brewed black tea and the sweetener tastes like it has some citrus and honey apart from the sugar (they have refused to tell me the exact contents despite years of begging).
Then get Chicken Kiev with mashed potatoes, extra gravy. If you're carb-loading, get an extra side of rice. Eat the Chicken Kiev and don't think about how many burpees will be needed to burn it off. (Do not eat this if you're coming off a cleansing diet. Do not eat here at all if you're coming off a cleansing diet. You will throw up your money.)
Then get dessert. Standards are the Devil's Food Cake and Carrot Cake, but my ultimate fave is the Prune Cake, which they stopped serving slices of almost a decade ago. It's the reason this review is only four stars. #BringBackPruneCakeSlices
Five stars for the college memoirs and the live music. Best iced tea in town. Devil's food cake is overrated 😂 and i wish they'd upgrade the monoblock chairs (c'mon guys, it's 2019!)
What We Had:
Chicken Kiev, Spareribs, Dayap Cake, Bottomless Iced Tea
What I Love:
The big serving of both the chicken kiev and the spareribs. I specially like the herb and creamy filling of the chicken kiev. I also like the tenderness of the spareribs.
Love their dayap cake as always. Just enough sweetness and blend of the dayap flavor. Finally, the meal is never complete without their bottomless iced tea, I love how they serve it unsweetened and leave it to you to flavor it with the syrup and fresh calamansi ☺️
Edit as of 22 July 2019:
What we had:
Salisbury steak
Chicken Kiev
Molo Soup
What we liked:
Chockiss is timeliness. Outside the cakes and pastries, their main courses tastes so well too, the Chicken Kiev (my staple) and the Salisbury Steak never disappoints.

I would say that the restaurant meets my average satisfaction rating, if there would be a 3.5 rating here in Zomato that would probably be my rating for the restaurant. The ambiance is okay you can literally feel the UP vibe as there are so many students dining in the restaurant and also the ventilation of the restaurant is good since there's a lot of windows and the view outside is just perfect. When it comes with the food, I am impressed with the generous amount of serving on each dish. The hickory spareribs is delicious it has a rich savory taste. The bistek is also great it has the original filipino taste of bistek. Their brewed coffee is also one of the best I've ever tasted, strong and acceptable. What I didn't like here though is their serving time and the quesadilla we ordered tasted like it's already spoiled plus there's a single strand of hair in the chicken penne but I enjoyed its taste before I discovered the hair. Looking forward to visit this resto again soon and try their pastries. Maybe that would boost up the rating I gave them.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
considering that our office is just nearby it’s surprising that we only dined here once, that was for breakfast. We had the filipino favorites which is served with garlic rice , tomatoes or a choice of fried or salted eggs. Beef tapa and Daing na bangus both for 195php each, it’s kinda pricey for the amount of serving and that excludes drinks by the way. There’s nothing special about the food.
I rated this a 4 despite of the dining experience because one time I had to buy a cake. preferably a plain white cake since I will put toppers in it. I’ve searched online and found several but their Devil’s food cake (800php) is much bigger and more affordable than the others so I took the risk. I made a reservation the lady I’ve spoked with is just too sweet, took my reservation even without a down payment. she said I can just pay it once I pick it up at the store.
The cake redeemed my faith at chocolate kiss cafe. it doesn’t melt easily , the chocolate cake has the right amount of sweetness, and the packaging is really in good quality!
Very polite staff! We went there on a Sunday night and we had the place just to ourselves! Cakes are good for the sweet tooth! Devil’s chocolate cake melts in your mouth! Dates cake was good! Not recommended for pregnant bec of the sweetness though
👶🏻
Nung college pa ako, lagi ako nagpupunta dito pag may extrang pera after ng enrollment. Ang lagi kong order then was yung lumpiang sariwa at iced tea.
I went last month back after a long time!! Nakakamiss! Masarap pa din yung food. Masarap pa din yung iced tea. Masarap pa din yung cakes. Servers were attentive. Cool din na iba iba yung demographics ng kumakain na kasabay namin nung time na yun. May mga senior citizens na kakatapos lang magjogging. May family. May business meeting. May group of friends.
Usual order ko ngayon: longganisa or bangus.. plus iced tea.
My grandfather used to bring us here all the time and everytime we went, we are not disappointed with their food, it is always freshly made and they have big servings that will satisfy you.

Despite the resto being a fixture in many an Isko or Iska’s memories of college days in the UP Diliman campus, I have, ironically, only eaten at The Chocolate Kiss Cafe twice in my life, and both times took place years after I graduated. This is probably because my student allowance can not accommodate a meal at the poshest (at the time) restaurant in the campus.
This is my third time eating in chocolate kiss and this time, my main agenda is their devil's food cake. This cake is really sinful, especially when you're on a diet and only went here for one slice lol
Enjoyed the hainanese chicken rice! The portions for the price is definitely best value for money. I also love that they serve it complete with the soup and the 3 condiments that goes with the dish. Will be back to try the cakes next time.
i come back here for the iced tea.. the fresh lumpia.. molo soup.. pasta and breakfast selections. comfort food =) been eating here since college days maybe thats more than 10 yrs ago. the bahay ng alumni branch is kinda creepy though. hahah im sad teh branch in roces avenue closed we were always there.
When i hear this place being mentioned, the first that comes to my mind is their house blend (legit) iced tea with honey and their devil food cake which spells divine. Their food is pure happiness like their fish ala pobre and their salpicao. I have visited this place several times and it never fails to satisfy my cravings.
This place has such a homey feeling to it. As soon as you enter this haven tucked within the confines of the Bahay ng Alumni, you are transported into a cool and chill atmosphere where you can relax and order delicious savory and sweet food.
For the cakes, i would recommend the spiky chocolate one!
And for the savory food, i would suggest the quesadilla. Budget is student friendly. :)
When I first stepped in here, I immediately fell in love with the ambiance. It's a very chill place, perfect for hanging out. I was even more surprised with the food - it was so good! I had the Aglio Oglio, and I enjoyed every bite! I also have the Devil Cake, and I loved it as well, though it was too sweet for my liking. Bearable, nonetheless. I enjoyed the musicians' renditions of classic songs the most. I will be back.
Super affordable for coffee and dessert. We enjoyed their carrot cake and devil's cake. I know they can do better when it comes to set up and decorations. Need more styling.
Chocolate Kiss!
This place will always hold a special place in my heart from my UP days. As a student, pag nag chocokiss ka, sosyal ka! Big time! Those were the days.
As a student, I would've probably given them rating of 5 cuz of the awesome bottomless iced tea and my favorite devil's food cake.
Now, years later, coming back brings good memories. However, being able to go and try other food spots, you come to realize that the food here is decent, but for the price range, I've tasted better. That's why, they get an above average rating of 3.5!
But if I were to just rate their Bottomless Ice Tea and Devil's food cake,
Those two will always get a 5 from me! Biased! I know. Haha!
If you are from UP, you know that this place is what they call the cafeteria for the "rich kids." The food here is delicious and the serving is big, but the place is not that comfortable and the ambiance is not okay. My favorite here are their silogs and their french toast which is good for 2.
I prefer to dine in their second floor. Their devil's food cake is definitely a must-try and my every visit here wouldn't be complete without it. I had so many good memories with friends and family in this place and it's good to come back here from time to time to reminisce the good ol' college days. I love also their pasta dishes and cheesecakes. I will be here again in my next cheat day 😆
Mas gusto kong kumain nang mag-isa dito sa second floor. Parang mas kalma. Nakakaaligaga nga lang ang mga waiter na nakatayo malapit sa iyo kung nasa bungad ka nakapwesto. Pero mas madali silang pakiusapan (para sa extrang calamansi sa iced tea o kaya sa bill) kaysa sa mga nasa branch sa baba na madalas kang malampasan.
Medyo mahal ang meals nila. Pero ang kinakain ko dito ay ang Ribs, malaki ang serving at marami ang mashed potato at mais.
Best Chicken Kiev and arguably the best ribs in the area.
It's a common titahan place on Sundays. Don't let that stop you from enjoying great food with bottomless calamansi iced tea that's so unique, you'll look for it every now and then.
One of my favorite cakes is here -- the Kahlua Butter Cake. G E T I T . Won't regret it!
The Devils Food Cake is the best, second is their Dayap cake
we ordered 25 pcs Devils Food Cake and Dayap cake last year for our clients, i thought they wont accept the order because it was one day apart very rush order and there was no downpayment, Thanks for accepting our order, and assisting us to put the cakes in the van, very good service :)
My go-to place for Devil's Food cake. Moist chocolate cake with marshmallow icing, the best! It's sweet but not that sweet so you won't get umay.
They also have a wide range of dishes to choose from - all day breakfast, pastas, rice meals, entrees, sandwiches, appetizers, merienda, you name it! Oh! Btw, their iced tea is so different. They'll give a glass of unsweetened iced tea and honey(or syrup) so you can control the sweetness of your iced tea. 😁👍

Finally tried 'The Chocolate Kiss Cafe' UP Town Center. I heard a lot about their famous Devil's Food Cake, and finally was able to tried it in myself.
We ordered Fish Kiev, Hainanese Chicken Rice and Salisbury Steak, of course, a slice of the Devil's Food Cake for dessert.
FOOD: Super thumbs up for the Fish Kiev. Yummmmyyy superrrr!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Salisbury Steak was also okay, not the typical burger patty with gravy and mushroom.. Super lasang homemade yung patty, and i liked it like that. A Bit disappointed lang sa Hainanese Chicken, without the sauce and the soup, super plain, walang lasa talaga. I don't know if ganun talaga, pero masarap naman kasi favorite ko talaga ang chicken. And the Devil's food cake, was okay naman. At first, tasted like an ordinary cake but nung nagtagal, naappreciate ko din yung lasa. The chocolate cake complements the caramel and the marshmallow icing. If not spiking icing yung design ng whole cake, parang ordinary bakery cake lang sya or pwede din mapagkamalan as a wedding cake (because of its white icing).
AMBIANCE: I believe hindi pa tapos gawin yung place because of the flooring? I don't know. Not that cozy, but comfortable naman. Mejo inappropiate lang yung place namin which is sa sulok talaga, na ang hirap mag approach ng crew. Plus, ang cute ng menu nila which is triangular shaped.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: No one approached us where to seat. Took us a while bago kami lapitan ng crew for the menu since nakapwesto sa sulok ang table namin, maybe, hard for them to see us. And super tagal nila magserve ng food, 20-25 mins (which is not good kung gutom ka na talaga).
PRICE: A bit pricey upon seeing the price on the menu, BUT reasonable price because of the serving. Good for sharing if hindi ka malakas kumain. Spent P900++ for our food. And, P24 lang yung Service Fee, lowest Service Fee sa mga nakainan ko, by far. 👌🏻
Nice place to hangout in with their good food and ambiance.
Order their nice brewed coffee and don't forget to ask for your one free refill.
Known to be one good resto in the heart of University of the Philippines in Diliman. Who wouldn't know Chocolate Kiss? Tried their famous beef salpicao, chicken roulad, Salisbury steak and pasta alfredo. Everything was done in 5 minutes.
To cap off our lunch was their best selling cakes---dayap, quezo de bola and devil's cake. Delicious!

There are many good desserts in ChoKiss. I only ever liked their tortang alimango but all of their rice meals and pasta are not good and not sulit. However, I always go back for the house coffee. Best brewed coffee ever--much better than Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. Surprisingly, their nachos are super good as well, the serving size is pretty good too!
Recommended by my senior brod. Hmm, I ordered Fish fillet with Pesto salsa. Food is okay; the fish is a bit salty and too oily. For dessert, for those who loves coffee, I recommend their Kahlua cake. Downside? Their staff is noisier than the costumers. Lol
It was more than 6 years when I last tried Chocolate Kiss so when I visited UP, I made sure I can try it again especially their Devil's food cake. The place was bigger compared before, with added staff to accommodate every customer. I ordered Devil's food cake as planned and like what I expected, it never changed. It was delicious, not that sweet compared to the others I've tried. Will come back again soon and will try their main dishes!
Been here yesterday with my colleagues after we ate dinner at Rodic's and before we watch a Japanese film. This restaurant was suggested by a friend. We ordered 2 dayap cakes, blueberry cheesecake and an iced coffee. It was awesome! The dayap cake is so yummy and the blueberry cheesecake is too sour for me. Their iced coffee is good too. The staffs were accommodating and the place is great. Dim light, sound of the instrument played by the guest whenever they want and an air-conditioned room. Their food is expensive but worth a penny! 😊
PS: Chocolate kiss, please do update the price of your food here. Thank you! ❤️
My favorite in ChocKiss is the Carbonara which I pair up with their bottomless iced tea. Their Iced tea is brewed that it can be added with honey to taste.
I went there with friends and who would have thought I fell in love with their Dayap Cake!!!! Very simple uncomplicated type of cake which at times you may overlook because most of us would definitely choose the fancier once but hey I found a gem of a cake in this place. Hope you could taste it soon😉
I had lunch here with my friends. It was a full house as expected since we came here during lunch time. The food was good I must say but it took so long for our orders to come maybe bec there were lots of patrons dining in. If only they could improve the interiors as well as the place to make it more accomodating and cozy otherwise it would always look like a typical canteen.
It was my UP friends who invited me to Chocolate Kiss. I didn't know about the place before since I grew up in Manila. Their cakes are very good. And you must try their iced tea.
My sister and I went for coffee at Chocolate Kiss Cafe’s 2nd location at the Bahay ng Alumni.
We ordered Iced Cappuccino and Tsokolate Eh for drinks while we had Devil’s Food Cake and Choco Chip Cheesecake for cakes.
We love how delicious and affordable the food and drinks are. The service is excellent as well. I would love to return and try more dishes soon.
Cozy place to hang with friends and family. Blueberry cheesecake is love. ❤️ Spectacular wide range of breakfast meals to dinner. And to top off the night a pianist playing during dinner time. 👌
Chicolate Kiss Cafe is a very cozy place to hang out inside UP Dilaman Campus. They offer different Cakes that was passed on
to generation. Eventually they also offered Meal food like pasta and rice meal.
They also have acoustic nights that will give you a feeling of relaxed mind after a hard days work or students after classes.
At chocolate kiss cafe the servers are so courteous since they do their job wholeheartedly and they not only nourish their physical but also spiritual life.
@chocolate kiss cafe
It feels like home.
I think that's the best way to describe Chocolate Kiss or CK, as we Iskos and Iskas like to call it. For me, the food evokes wonderful college memories because taste, serving, and service is almost always consistent.
I ordered the Chicken Pesto Penne (one of the best pesto pasta dishes I've tried) and bottomless iced tea. To share, we got taco salad (better presentation than before, meat is not as spicy but still has that kick) and chocolate kiss suite (4 little squares of cakes of your choice).
Other must tries are the chicken kiev, salisbury steak, and eggplant parmigiana. Try also the Kahlua Butter Cake, one of my all time favorite desserts.
The place gets packed especially on Friday nights, lighting is dim, and tables are quite near each other but service is good. Waiters remember regular customers and chat them up and give good recommendations.
I love having surprise dinners at Chocolate Kiss. What I love about this place is definitely their Ice Tea. Okay, take this seriously. You can't go to Chocolcate Kiss and not order their Iced Tea! It is a must try. Their food doesn't disappoint either. From a variety of cakes to satisfy your sweet tooth, to their delicious entrees. I had Carbonara during my last visit. It was a great experience for me.

This is another restaurant that evokes fun college memories with friends. During those days, we would save up on our allowances just to be able to eat here and have coffee or green tea. It's located at the second floor of Bahay ng Alumni, which is a good location because you don't get distracted with a lot of passersby.
After 6 years, my boyfriend and I are back here to have lunch again at this establishment.
To summarize it, same taste, same price, but smaller portions.
Still recommending this place when you're nearby or if (like us) you have special memories in this place, lunch is good here.
I love the Chocolate Kiss Cafe. I've been to their branches inside UP and to the one in... I forgot the address. This is a very good restaurant with affordable prices. When you visit this cafe, make sure to order a slice of their desserts most especially the cheese cakes! Yum!

This place brings me back. It's a great place to chillax, do meetings, even date. It gives you the fancy but not too fancy vibe, and for people who work, live or study in UP, it is very convenient.
Foodtripping with officemate inside the UP campus. The food tasted good although quite pricey (I think?). We were at the other room but we can still the noise coming from the piano, hoping they could renovate the area and create a sound proof room. :-)
Omg. I just love this place. I always come here to binge eat and destress since it's just a short walk from where I live. I ALWAYS order the Chicken Kiev or Hungarian Sausage and Penne. They're divine huhuhu. Tried all the cakes already and I particularly like the Dayap one. At first I was hesistant because what the hell is dayap hahaha but it was supeeeer yummy :( it isnt too sweet, plus the marshmallow creme complements it really well :( huhuhuhu 10/10 must try!!!!
Met some UP Professors for lunch at this restaurant. It's almost 12noon and the place was really full. Tried their red velvet cake and it was good. Cake was fluffy and the cream cheese was so excellent! wasAmbience is okay but not ideal for business meetings. Will be back definitely to try their Salisbury steak which looks and smell yummy!

Spending 4 years in Diliman will definitely make you wonder the fuss about this tiny cafe inside the campus.
Being a first timer back then, I was advised to try their Devils Food Cake and Dayap Cake.
Their devils food cake is a chocolate cake covered in meringue frosting. The cake has two layers which has a chocolate ganache sandwiched in between. The cake itself is moist and not to sweet which somehow complements the sweetness of the meringue. A must try for the chocolate cake lovers out there!
Now, the dayap cake is a different story. I rarely order and eat non-chocolate cakes but this one changed it! The cake looks simple, a chiffon cake covered with cream with a strand of dayap on top as a garnish. But once you take a bite, the tangy flavor of the dayap will spread on your mouth. The cake is not to sweet and the tanginess just enough. It is a refreshing sweet ending to any meal indeed. This is one of their best sellers as they usually ran out of cakes in the afternoon.
Haven't tried the actual meals though my friends say thag their onion rings is one of the best. Will definietly order one if I can drop by the area.
The best-tasting Beef Rendang, they have it here - the very reason why I keep coming back to this place.
My favorites are their Kahlua Cake, Chicken and Chips, and Devil's Food cake. Nothing really special with their menu but if you're in the campus, this place would be the best go-to for work meetings and writing breaks.
A go-to place for comfort food.
I haven't tried their desserts but their meals are good. The serving is also a little hefty and are priced reasonably.
I love Dayap Cake and Devil's Food cake! Yum! It feels like Christmas whenever I'm eating pastries from Chocolate Kiss Cafe.
Beef Salpicao must try dish too!

The Devil's food cake is a must! :) Their iced tea with honey is wonderful as well :) Great food here, however service tends to be a bit slow.
A place to hangout after long walk in UP grounds...ok un food and ambiance nila..medyo hard to find if not familiar going around UP pero its worth it pagnakita m na siya...good service and good food...
Right in the heart of the university! I like that it still has that cool, student-friendly vibe.
I love the dessert I tried - Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. Moist, with a good balance between tartness and sweetness.
Super loooove their Dayap cake!!!
First tasted it at the hospital when I visited a friend and one of the cakes they had (feel-better gifts) was that. Fell in love with the unique taste.
Visited there a few weeks ago and of course, got the cake again. Still the same delicious and unforgettable flavor of white chiffon cake delicately laced with dayap. That is one cake I can devour on my own!
Liked their other cakes, too. But fell in love with the Dayap!
Located at Ang Bahay ng Alumni, Chocolate Kiss Café is the place suited for those who wanted to have some dessert especially cakes. The owner actually started the café with yummy cakes having the passion for baking. Today, their menu also includes pasta and favorite Filipino dishes.
Making your dinner more relaxing and romantic, the café has musicians playing violin, guitar and keyboards. You can catch them every Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
Don’t miss their Shrimp Pasta Aligue (PHP275) and one of their house specialties, Beef Salpicao (PHP295). For a finale, satisfy your sweet craving with their two-layer Classic Chocolate Cake (PHP103).

It was also here when I first tasted Devil's Food Cake -- a rich slice of chocolatey goodness. Another favorite here is Sansrival paired with Cafe Americano. Aside from pastries, other notable dishes that can be had here are their pastas. My friends once tried Eggplant Parmigiana. It's a tasty dish and great as a light snack. Costwise, set aside around P500 if you are going here on a date.

Who would have thought there's a resto this good right inside UP! Found in the Bahay ng Alumni, the Chocolate Kiss Cafe is a restaurant even outsiders would love, especially if they want something different, or something new aside from the restos UP Town Center and Katipunan has to offer. Take note that there are two outlets in Zomato because they have one in the 2nd floor of the Bahay ng Alumni (to the left when you enter) and another on the first floor. I was able to try both and suffice to say they are the same.
The cost of food is a bit more expensive than a student's regular daily allowance, so one could probably eat here on special occasions (probably for getting an uno? haha). But aside from the cakes and coffees, it's also worth eating lunch or dinner here. We tried out their Spinach Cream Dip, a salad, Salisbury Steak, Hickory Smoked Spareribs, Devil's Foodcake My favorite order from their House Specialties would probably be the Hickory Smoked Spareribs. Yummy, and the servings were plenty! You should also try their Ice tea, because it is quite different from most iced teas served in restaurants. Their iced tea had more of the tea leaf taste, but it was fun because when served, it came with a tiny cup of liquid sweetener (something like honey) that you pour to your liking. Truly Chocolate Kiss is a gem in UP!
Mom and I decided to go to The Chocolate Kiss at UP Diliman for Sunday Lunch. We waited for a while before being ushered to our seat - there was a birthday celebration going on so they took half of the space of the resto.
As usual, we ordered the famous Nachos with cheese dip, salsa and ground beef. I ordered their Cordon Bleu which vegetables on the side and ooozing mashed potato and extra serving of rice. I can't get over the mashed potato because it was soooo yummy. Mom got Vigan Longanisa with salted egg and chopped tomato on the side. And for the drinks, their brewed iced tea. And for our dessert, we got their cake sampler which has 4 slices of different cakes.

The original Chocolate Kiss Cafe in UP Diliman has been around for probably twenty years now. Their cake styles are classic - you'll get carrot cake, cheesecake, and chiffon style sweets if you crave them. Academics and students alike come here for lunch and dinner; business is brisk, but so is the service, so you need not worry.
It's a good place to tuck into, good weather or bad, although UP no longer lacks for choices. You can order Filipino style dishes, from sandwiches to pasta and rice meals. On our last visit, we had a very respectable salpicao and chicken kiev. The former had a generous amount of garlic, while the latter had creamy cheese inside, and a good amount of mashed potato siding.
Probably one of the last few places, along with Becky's Kitchen, to serve a prune cake.
After jogging my brother and her best friend decided to eat along UP that is very light to body yet fulfilling, we eat some sweets foods than more carb, we ordered a slices of devils food cake, blueberry and carrot cake, with ice tea that is very new to me with honey than sugar, and thier famous tskolate drink that is very strong and i like that taste if it! And for take out we bought some ensaymada and cheese rolls, i really like it! Very delicious and so much affordable
The chocolate kiss was introduce to me by my professor in economics, coz she's an alumna of UP.
As we go in the place i was surprise for a small type of modern vintage of restaurant.
My teacher asked me to taste their devil's food cake and house coffee. It was oh so fluffy n the icing was not that sweet, so you'll love it. And their house coffee was so strong that will fit for those coffee lover!
