Coco + Maco Patisserie — Restaurant in Mandaue

So, I stumbled upon this place and thought I'd give it a try. Overall, it's a pretty cozy spot, perfect for freelancers like me who need a relaxed environment to get some work done. Here's a casual review of the place:

Let's start with the pros. One thing that stood out to me was the thoughtful consideration for freelancers. They've got power outlets at every table, which is a huge plus for anyone who needs to charge up their gadgets while working. No more searching for a scarce power socket!

Another pro is their fast and reliable WiFi. They provide a coupon for two hours of WiFi access, but here's the catch—it's only valid for one device. It would be awesome if they allowed two devices, so I can connect my laptop and cell phone. Unfortunately, the Smart data signal in the area is pretty slow, so relying on my mobile data isn't really an option.

Now, onto the cons. One downside is the limited parking space. They've only got room for three cars, which can be a bit of a hassle during peak hours. If you're planning to visit, make sure you arrive early or be prepared to find parking elsewhere.

Lastly, I ordered their Cafe Latte with hazelnut syrup, but it turned out to be way too sweet for my liking. Personal preference, I suppose, but it would have been great if they offered a less sugary option or allowed customers to adjust the sweetness level.

All in all, Coco + Maco Patisserie has its perks, especially for freelancers in need of a productive work environment. Just be aware of the limited parking and maybe skip the hazelnut syrup if you're not into overly sweet drinks. It's a casual spot to relax, grab a coffee, and get your...

Too sweet. Asked in advance while ordering if the drink is on the sweet side or possible to lower sweetness, the staff said “its not sweet po cos its coffee”. In the end, just took one sip and didn’t finish the drink. 🥲

They have wifi, and you can charge gadgets. Can sit approx 20 people? Not too crowded when we got there.

Location is okay, ambience is okay. The usual may mga nag stustudy / work.

The steel high chair wasnt comfortable, specially the one i sat on needs repair. Couldn’t get myself to change chairs kasi baka maka disturb sa mga nag sta-study. But...

Would love to come back and dine in again soon! Perfect for me time - early in the morning. They open at 8 am. Their foods are chef's kiss. Ordered white chocolate mocha, beef tapa, ham & cheese, fries, and extra rice & fries 'cuz you just had to eat more once you had a bite. Prices are reasonable. Taste of the food is really worth its price. Few minutes walk from Jollibee Fortuna & JCenter mall and about 15-20 mins ride from the port. They also have a pickup station in front and a restroom at the back. They accept gcash & union bank transfer (no maya). Highly...
