Customers come for the Filipino-leaning breakfast sandwiches and stay for those dreamy, soft-scrambled eggs and toasted buns. Spam, bistek, chorizo, and paksiw pork belly are the stars most folks mention, with tater tots and chicken lumpia rounding things out. The ube soft-serve—and sometimes an ube affogato—gets a lot of love as the sweet finish. Diners enjoy the friendly team and even note the owner as kind and welcoming, which helps the casual walk-up setup feel personal. The patio is simple but pleasant, and people appreciate being able to chill with their dogs.
Diners enjoy the unique flavor combos and say sandwiches are filling, although a few feel the prices are a bit steep for the portion size. Service is often quick, but some customers mention longer waits during busy stretches, especially when ordering online. A few folks say their orders have come out with missing add-ons, and a couple mentioned the ube soft-serve flavor varies. There’s also some split opinion on the sweet-style bun—most love the fluffy toast, while a few would prefer something less sweet. Corned beef can come off mild compared to the punchy chorizo or bistek.
It’s a laid-back, outdoor-only spot hidden in Kentlands that runs on breakfast-and-lunch hours, so people plan for an early visit. When the weather cooperates, it’s a great grab-and-go or patio bite; on hot days, the lack of indoor seating is noticeable. Overall, fans keep returning for those egg-forward sandwiches, Filipino flavors, and the ube treats, even if they’ve had to wait a little longer than expected now and then.
