Positioning itself as a Filipino cafe in a sea of coffee shops in the metro, Figaro Coffee Company has adopted itself to something unusually found in a typical coffee shop setup: a Filipino Breakfast Meal.
Corned Beef Breakfast
Prepared by Chef Carl Marxist Tan, I’ve all tried Figaro‘s three breakfast meals namely: Pork Longganisa, Classic Corned Beef, and Gourmet Crispy Tuyo (Dried Fish).
I am torn between the pork longganisa and corned beef, they are both good. Perhaps, I’ll just leave that for you to decide.
If you have the Filipino sweet tooth and doesn’t mind the extra fat, go for the homemade Pork Longganisa. You’ll love it and ask for more.

If you decide to get more serious and prefer it a little salty in the morning, the corned beef sauteed in onion breakfast is for you.
However, I would say that the Crispy Tuyo needs a little improvement in the preparation. Given that it has the “crispy” on the meal title, it somehow fell short of that expectation. Other than that, the tuyo flakes was ok.

All three sets priced at P175 come with a fried farm sunny side up egg and tomato-cucumber salsa on the side. It is also paired with an 8 oz. Figaro brewed coffee.
New Desserts
Chocolate Eclair Dessert (P65)
Figaro's Ambrosia (food for the gods - P70)
Figaro also adds 2 new desserts to its sweet line: the Chocolate Eclair and Ambrosia.
Eclairs are long custard-filled pastries. This one is covered with chocolate on top. I recommend Ambrosia, also known as Food for the gods.
