Cafe Agusta — Restaurant in Rizal

Okay to visit!!! Honest review of cafe agustaaa ive been here twice!

✨ AMBIANCE ✨ It’s good magandan interior maganda yung view if u r looking for a place in antipolo w/ a view this is one of them. It’s not rly good if maulan coz limited indoor seats but it’s good na they have a bar and cafe so #fortheview

Although for family dinner and lunch siya or breakfast and lunch w/ friends. NOT RLY FOR DATE sadly coz madami nang tao so the tables are not rly far pangit pang date but chill titahan is ok.

NOT PET-FRIENDLY! Heads up for fur parents! 👉🏻👈🏻 Need daw nakacage kahit leashed w/ diaper bawal 🫠

✨ FOOD & DRINKS ✨ To be honest, medj flop dito. It’s expensive for the taste. Food Prices are 380-500 for food tho pwedeng to share if mahina kumain pero it’s sakto lang. it’s for the view talaga.

The pinaka-okay na we’ve tried is Pork Chop w/ Aurora Sauce (tomato sauce) + Beef Salpicao.

NO SERVICE WATER 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 Quite a big turn off coz medj basic siya pero wala bring a tumblr na lang.

NO CUTLERY FOR TAKEOUT 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 I mean ok for #lesswaste pero as a customer i’d rly prefer it if there’s an option to get or not? cos we had one order to go for the driver looking afterour pet kasi they’re not pet friendly pero wala daw kahit plastic gloves.

✨ PARKING ✨ There’s parking 5 sa taas then the rest street parking pero may bayad Php 30/car whether it be sa taas near the resto or street cos for “safety” daw. MAJOR TURN OFF doe cos the 5 slots is private space tas naniningil then street parking may bayad???? There are other cafes along that road pero si naniningil for parking 🙄

Worth visiting pa rin naman madami lang extras na unecessary and not very pro customer a lot of improvement pa! The marketing is good but customer experience is...

Honest review. First time coming here, I liked the place. Their coffee is okay and their cake tasted good. Ambiance was nice and they have a good view of the city. I thought I could bring my friends here next time when we want to unwind.

My second visit was kind of disappointing. We were sitting in this corner table waiting for a good spot to be available, placed an order and we wanted to transfer to the available seats beside the window to see the overlooking view as we enjoy our coffee. But to my dismay, a staff approached us and told us that they have a "No transferring of tables" In house policy. You can't transfer tables once you placed your order. It's my first time hearing such policy and it was off-putting to hear because we were looking forward to enjoy the view. there was no outdoor seating kasi it was raining. We complied and just enjoyed our time. Hopefully the policy could be reconsidered by their management. Again, the coffee tasted okay.

They don't have WiFi considering that it's a good place where you can also work. They have outdoor seating with good ambiance. Has paid parking space. Staff are somehow accommodating.

Update: 3rd visit. Decided to give them another try. Service is not good, nakikita na kami ng crew nagtataas ng kamay but I saw how he diverted his eyes somewhere else. Hirap tawagin ng crew. The woman sa counter was rather assisting. The Nachos we ordered is bland. We did not finished our food so we asked na i-takeout nalang. We were shocked when they gave us the tupperware and bag. We had to do it on our own with no utensils so kinamay namin yung nachos. First time...

The place was certainly instagrammable and I like that it has a very refreshing ambiance. It certainly has a great view of the sunset and the city.

I like that we didn't wait to be seated when we arrived and the staff were friendly and attentive for the most part.

Moving on to the dining experience however, things took a slight change. The wait time for the food was short, which I like. Next were the drinks, we ordered an Iced Latté and Iced Vanilla Latté. Considering the price and that this was a café, the drinks could have been better. It's certainly nowhere near the level of Starbucks. I hope they improve on this.

We had fries for an appetizer - the cheese sauce was "ok" but they put too much salt.

We had Carbonara Blanca and Putanesca with Fish Fillet as our main dish. The Carbonara was great. The Putanesca however, was average.

I didn't like that we had to ask for cutlery when our food was served. The first thought that came into my mind was "Am I supposed to eat with my hands?". Also, I hoped that they offered to give napkins/tissue when our food got served instead of us asking for it since there weren't any placed on the table where we were seated.

Overall, other than the great view and ambience, it was an average experience. I've had better dining experiences in other places and paid just...
