Service was extremely bad. When we were sat at a table (8-person table despite us being 3 only when there were other 4-person table open), it took a long time before we were given a menu. We ordered some food but on the drinks section, the waiter told us that there wasn't any alcohol-related drinks available anymore so we had to order something else. But it was quite obvious that it was a lie given that they had served it to other customers. We look young and the waiter probably assumed that we were underaged, but she could've asked for our ID to confirm our ages.
The food took a rather long time to serve.
Fish and chips was very bland. The pizza was ok, wings could be better. The truffle pasta isn't really great, except for its presentation.
The proportion of drinks given to us was also different. We ordered coffee that had expresso at about 30% level, milk 40% more, and milk bubbles for the last 40%. The same drink was ordered by others and they clearly had more expresso and milk. Same case for mojitos(without rum because apparently it's a no). After almost done eating, we told a waiter to bill out. 20 minutes after, we were done eating for some time already and no news yet. We told another waiter that we're billing out. 10 more minutes and nothing, we decided to go to the front desk and pay it instead, and how quickly did the waiters clean our table right after.
The entire experience was terrible, service is terrible, food is meh. Do not recommend dining...
Read moreThis was my worst experience at Single Origin, ever.
I've been to Single Origin in Makati, BGC and Alabang plenty of times. Never had any problems - food, coffee and service were good.
At this MOA branch though - we went on Saturday around 11:45am, approaching lunch time. One single waiter was there to service the entire place, which was filling up quickly.
We wanted to order a vanilla late - not available. In fact, none of the flavored lattes we're available. Got a Peruvian Mocha and Cappuccino instead, which were fine. The mocha was definitely on the milkier, less flavorful side compared to the other SO branches, though. Cappuccino was good.
Time to order food. Corned Beef Benedict? Unavailable. Everything with corned beef was unavailable, which is a significant chunk of their brunch menu. My backup, the Turkey and Cranberry sandwich - also unavailable. So I settled on a Philly Cheese steak sandwich - which was served eventually, but it was ice cold. The cheese sauce on top literally tasted like fresh out of the fridge and the beef was still cold. I'm not one to complain normally, but I did this time. The staff replaced it with a new one, which was hot. The meat in the sandwich however, is mediocre at best.
We also had the blueberry french toast, which was good.
Overall, an awful experience. Never coming to this branch again, and wouldn't recommend anyone to come here either. Go to their Makati or BGC branches, they're...
Read moreI thought they were a specialty cafe but don't get your hopes up...the establishment is just called single origin not even the beans they are using is single origin, instead they have a blend... Brazil and panama (the roast of their coffee beans were a mix of dark and medium roast during the time I went there)
I ordered for double espresso to go but then I decided to stay instead to witness everything...hahahaha
after I tasted the espresso I then ordered Iced Americano since the blend will be good in it, it was more on the bitter side. It took 5 minutes for the barista to send it out and the shot was preextracted not freshly extracted (how would I know? because I am just sitting across from the bar and there are only 5 sets of table to be catered to ...it was not busy.)
I also ordered for their Hot chocolate cheesecake which was ok but don't expect any HOT component inspite of it's name none of the components were hot. The only thing different about this was the candied chilli as garnish.
Overall... The ambience is cool and more into socials/brunch with titas because they have wine, sparkling water, pasta and sandwiches. The staffs are ok, polite, respectful especially the floor manager. Price for coffee is ok compared to your commerical one but the price of the dessert is a little pricey compared to the quality of the taste.
Will I recommend it? Maybe for some Titas of Manila brunch but not to have a...
