There is a new branch of UCC Park Cafe in Burgos Circle of Bonifacio Global City. Together with my friend Abigail, who ordered Seafood Penne Au Gratin and Blueberry with Banana smoothie, I ordered for my all-time favotite – Japanese Seafood Spaghetti Soup and of course, Coke.
There were also coffee bean and ground coffee selections by the door entrance, which are interesting. The place was cozy and was decorated in good taste. Will definitely be back one of these days to try out some of their other dishes and coffees.

One of the first food establishments in Forbes Town Center in 26th Street of the Bonifacio Global City is UCC Cafe Terrace. UCC is UESHIMA COFFEE CO., LTD (UCC) is a Japanese company in the coffee and related businesses.
UCC Cafe Terrace has an extensive menu just about right for anytime of the day, be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whenever there is a feel to indulge and enjoy japananes fusion with a cup of UCC coffee. They also have wifi in the area and a choice of airconditioned area or the open terrace area (hence the name ‘Terrace’).
One of the popular past dish they have is the Japanese Seafood Spaghetti Soup (my fave is in tomato sauce). To start the day right, an enjoyable plate of garlic rice, veggie salad, red egg salad, spicy spanish style bangus (milkfish), and a cup of coffee is a good choice.

When stressed, down, or feeling a need to pamper myself a little, one thing comes into my mind… COFFEE. Yeah, okay I admit I am an addict, a COFFEE ADDICT that is. Instant coffee, brewed, freshly brewed, branded or not as long as it is the caffeine rich drink that smells like mornings in a far away paradise, I’ll take it.
Same as this one morning when I was stressing myself of some entrepreneurial tasks and had to take a break. Good heavens, there is Figaro *sound effects here, special effect: eyes glowing alà animé* My mind is crazily imagining an oasis in a desert. They have a coffee shop at the 2nd floor of The Medical City Strip along Ortigas Ext.
With a long list of choices, my sudden lack of creativity had me ordering a latte (coffee and milk) and Pasta Arabiatta (pasta with a spicy sauce). I said lack of creativity because I’d usually order the house specialty. If there is one more ingredient in my Figaro coffee that is making it taste wonderful is the company’s commitment to making the Barako coffee alive.
This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program should make every Filipino proud that there is a company that aside from selling and growing their coffee, they continue a legacy, a story of the Filipino coffee.

One cold rainy morning I, together with some bloggers, had a chance to meet Steve Benitez, CEO of Bo’s Coffee, in Bonifacio High Street (BHS). He was roasting some coffee beans from Guatemala not for a coffee drink but for a coffee art. You will not miss this (very expensive) coffee roaster by the counter as you enter BHS branch.
Yes, coffee art, he roasted in different shades of brown in what is to be an artist’s unique palette of brown monochromatic material instead of the usual paint, water color or pencil. His object of art is the bean itself. He just knows when the beans would start to crackle, when the beans would start to drop temperature in the roaster, and a lot more details. So much passion for coffee, yes? I agree.
What differentiates Bo’s Coffee Club is that a cup of coffee is assured of freshness. As Steve explained, roasted coffee beans are best grounded not right after roasting but about three days later and so the deliveries to a Bo’s Coffee Club are assured also of coffee aroma and taste right in its peak.
