Keepsakes Cafe - Maa — Restaurant in Davao City

I will start differently than most reviewers.

The restrooms are extremely clean, tastefully decorated (pardon the pun), and they are actually stocked with toilet paper.

The hand washing station is also quite clean

I love that they set up a self-service filtered water station.

The food is VERY good.

4a. Dine-in is encouraged as they charge for take out containers.

4b. Hack-ish: The portions are larger when you dine in for some dishes.

Their mango shakes are SO very good!!! Made with condensed milk and corn syrup rather than regular milk and sugar.

My favorite, huge, shareable breakfast is the waffle, bacon, and eggs plate. It includes REAL potato wedges/slices with a really delicious buttery, mayonnaise-y, slightly garlicky sauce.

Their cappuccino is excellent. As a coffee aficionado, I can certify that it is fantastic. Dare I say, better than Starbucks.

The staff is not pushy. They are courteous, responsive, and attentive.

There are 4 locations. If they are similar, this cozy nook, perfect to study, discuss business with associates, or to read your next ebook, rises above the rest and lands on my TOP places to eat each and every time I visit from Texas, USA, America.

Keep up the good work!

Tip for the owner: Offer free WiFi to customers, along with...

Just like the first Keepsakes Cafe that I went to in MTS, this branch has the same aesthetic which is a curation of knick-knacks but this branch was a bit gloomy. There was an air of sadness, which I don't know where it was coming from, maybe because of the flat white lightning or the clear open set-up but it was definitely a quiet evening.

The price is reasonable and my order is still the same - pork belly strips which I really like, not too oily and very crispy. The serving of rice is still generous. I really wish to try some other meal on their menu but only until I forget the...

Cool place, affordable foods, nice ambiance. friendly and accommodating staff with security guard. Always open even on saturdays and sundays. Price is pretty affordable for the quality of place and taste. With paking lot. Decoration of candies as background for picture taking. There is always a cold water available, ice tea also not so sweet. 👍 If I will have a not so good comment, it will be the eggs. I've ordered (I really love eggs), sometimes it is cooked with too much oil and no salt. But overall the food is great though and...
