Brown Cup Breakfast

More often than not, I eat breakfast at home, but on the occasion that I feel like having a breakfast date, The Brown Cup takes my money.

Inside the cafe at Skyrise, IT Park

I have the bacon and eggs (scrambled please!) with waffles and iced tea. The waffles are soft and fluffy, just the way I like it. My date gets the ham and eggs (sunny side up please!) with pancakes and coffee. The ham doesn't look at all appetizing but it's okay; it tastes like what a ham should taste like. If you like bread, you can request for french toast instead of pancakes or waffles.

One thing we noticed though, the bacon doesn't look as perfect as when we first ate here (in 2011). And the waffle that time was more brown and toasty. Maybe they have a new cook?

In 2011 I had the same thing

Their breakfast meals come with coffee or iced tea. When neither suits you, you can request for hot choco for an additional Php 20.

 
Shouldn't the cup be brown?

Five hours after, it is time for lunch, but I am still full from this breakfast. The Brown Cup also offers rice meals, pasta, and sandwiches. I recommend their pesto buttered pork chop (Php 95), a friend's favorite. Their rice meals come with iced tea. Warning: The Brown Cup at IT Park can get very busy at lunch on weekdays, either get there early (around 11AM) or be prepared to spend at least 15 minutes waiting for your food.

Of course, being a cafe, it does have a selection of coffee, tea, smoothies, cookies, brownies, and cakes. When craving for something sweet but low on moolah, I get their choco chunk (Php 18) and choco oatmeal (Php 15) cookies.

    1. Come to think of it, it's just a simple breakfast one can make at home. It's just that I am too lazy (and don't have a waffle maker) to make it myself :-) Another place where I enjoyed breakfast was at Seattle's Best, they have some hefty offerings (I think could last me til dinner). You might want to check them out too. But, be warned, they are a bit expensive. Downside: no waffles, just pancakes or toast.

  2. Brown Cup is also available on top of Qualfon building. If I had the time to spend 15 minutes on my food, I would head there to satisfy my bacon craving. :P

    1. Really? Is it for Qualfon employees only?

    2. I think so. The bacon with egg with rice meal is only Php50 there. You also get a glass of iced tea along with it. :P

  4. And I love their caramel macchiato. Granted, it's no Starbucks, but you can ask for extra caramel - and for P95 only! xx
