Coffee Project Starmall EDSA Shaw — Restaurant in Mandaluyong

We came here today at around 5:30am. We planned to have breakfast. After ordering, the serving time was 25minutes. So I am not sure if that's really their regular serving time for rice meals or just because we were too early. And once the food arrived, some of it were really delicious. But the rice was the downfall. It was not hot. Waiting for 25minutes, we were hoping to be served newly cooked rice. But it taste like it was cooked the night before. Which we do not mind, but make sure to serve it hot. In addition, the rice was not well cooked. It was a crispy rice. We did not complain because we were hungry and just wanted to eat. But as a filipino, rice is rice. The food is a bit pricey too. I guess what people come here for is the facade of the place. The interior is really amazing. The price we have to pay for a great Instagram photo.

I just wanted to add, parking in this building is hard. The guards will not let us in their parking area saying it was already full. We asked them if we can just park outside but they said those are reserved parking. Anyway, my co-worker insisted to let us their building parking area since we only planned to dine and will leave as soon as we are done. And advised that we will show them receipt. They finally let us in their parking area and surprise, there were a lot of slots available. I am not sure why they would put establishments and not let customers...

Food: They serve pasta, sandwiches , cakes and pastries just like any other coffee shop. Though, I am not very much fan of their recipe. But it taste good. The servicing for pasa and sandwiches is enough for a meal. Pastries and cakes are too sweet.

Coffee: Their coffee is good but not that very good compared to coffee bean & tea and starbucks. But, its very affordable in much lesser price compared to the latter.

Wifi: The wifi speed is disturbing. Though visitor wer just minimal, the wifi connection is slow. I can't even access netflix. Even on weekdays or weekends (morning till evening)

Place: The place is very much lively. With its decorations and quotations to read anywhere. One can relax or study/work. The place is a must recommendable than going into...

The Coffee Project, in general, is a local cafe that can really compete with its foreign competitors. The interior design is really an "Instagram-worthy". Also, the most important to give a review are their food and drinks being offered. I haven't tried any coffee based drink, but their Green Tea Matcha drinks were really nice. Their hearty meals and pasta were also taste good. But my most favorite section of their cafe would be the pastries. Especially their Banana Carrot cake, it's my all time favorite. Their cream cheese brownie will also serve in hot. Yum! And before I forget, their comfort room's design also matches the place, and...
