This was my first visit to this establishment to have coffee with a friend. I ordered a small Cafe Mocha and requested it in a preferred paper cup instead of a ceramic cup. Upon arrival of my beverage, I noticed it felt very light, even for a small cup. I popped off the lid to discover my drink was only 3/4 full with significant room for more coffee. I summoned one of the employees and let her see the cup and requested that the cup be made full. She offered me some water to top it off which I said was not acceptable as I was paying for coffee. She said something to me which I unfortunately couldn't hear or understand, but went to go talk to someone behind the counter where they prep food and drinks. When she came back, it was clear to me that they were not going to fix my drink. At this point, I was frustrated and didn't want to become angry with her, so I acquiesced and decided not to "pick a fight."

We saw that there was a vacant table already, but the crew did not bother to call anyone from the wait-list to occupy it.

As a mother of 3, I really took my time writing this review because it's a sad thing watching a resto not being able to maintain their reputation. Please train your crew very...
Read moreVEGETARIAN/VEGAN ITEMS: Great Veggie burger, salads, and some powerbowls. Items on menu are labeled for vegetarian, lactose intolerance, and spicy food items. The veggie burger, coconut curry, and the veggie chili are the items I've tried. Overall the best was the burger.
DISHES TRIED: Veggie Burger (really good) Coconut Curry Veg chili bowl
ATMOSPHERE: 5/10 Chairs are comfy on the bottom floor of Ayala so nothing spectacularly. But overall the food is the reason to come here.
DELICIOUS/CREATIVITY: 6/10 This is a great place to come for an assured veggie meal. Nothing on the menu is to over the top tasty or seasoned as far as vegetarian goes but it's one of the only places in Ayala outside of Perian Palace.
PRICE: P200-P300
MUST GO - GO BACK - ONE TIME VISIT: I will def be back I genuinely want to try more of the items on this menu. And partly because I frequently visit Ayala,...
