Figaro Coffee Company is a premier full-service coffee chain whose menu also includes sandwiches, pastas, set meals, as well a selection of freshly-baked muffins, cakes and pastries. Founded in 1993, Figaro is considered as the country’s number one Filipino cafe which started even before the big international coffee chains arrived here.

Figaro has always been known for its freshly brewed coffee, but it’s really “a cafe above the rest” because it is so much more than just a coffee shop. I can enjoy a full savoury meal at Figaro complete with beverages, pastries, and desserts any time of the day.

My husband wanted his ice-cold frappes right away so he ordered the Choco Chips Java (P195-L). I wanted something a bit lighter on the calories so I chose one of their refreshing juices, the Green Earth Detox (P185-L) with its healthy combination of kale, spinach, red grapes.

There are always plenty of enticing pastries on display at Figaro to start your day. These include the Black Forest Ensaymada plus other cookies and breads.

My favorite at Figaro is their Heavenly Cheese Roll (P75). These light and fluffy cheeserolls are similar to a sweet ensaymada but with a softer texture. Figaro heats up these cheees rolls for those who want to have them for dine-in.

Figaro has several pasta and sandwich options, but you can get the best of both worlds with their Half Sandwich + Half Pasta (P275) combo meal. The pasta flavors include Arrabiata, Pasta a la Carlo, Garden Herb Pesto, and my choice which is the Chicken Mushroom Carbonara. This is a creamy and savory white sauce pasta with chicken chunks, shiitake mushrooms and parmesan cheese.

For your sandwich options, choose from Grilled Ham & Cheese, Chicken Waldorf, Gourmet Tuna, and the Grilled Chicken Pesto Focaccia Sandwich which has grilled chicken fillet with bell peppers, pesto spread, and grated cheese inside a multigrain bread. You can also add P60 for a small drink.

What we really love at Figaro are their delicious and savory All Day Meals. The Sukiyaki Beef Tapa (P260) comes with classic and traditionally marinated beef tapa served with garlic fried rice, fried egg, and side salad.

Another breakfast dish that is good to have the entire day is the Smoked Bangus Belly (P290) with its deboned premium cut smoked milkfish belly that is also served with garlic fried rice, fried egg, and side salad.

For my husband who wanted to have a big lunch, he ordered the Crispy Liempo with Laing (P300). This is Figaro’s signature crispy pinoy liempo and taro leaves cooked in a special coconut milk. It is served with side salad and garlic fried rice to complete the meal.

For dessert, we were thinking of trying Figaro’s newest tropical treat, the Pina Colada Cake, but there were many other tempting cakes on display. Figaro offers a Pasta and Drink Combo (P190) which includes any medium hot or iced drink and a pastry or a slice of cake (+P39). So we decided to get a slice of Grand Xocolat Gateau Cake (P125) plus a cup of Hot Chocolate (P150) to go.

I placed an order from The Figaro Group this week and it was delivered just in time for lunch. Founded in 1993, Figaro Coffee is a premier full-service coffee chain whose menu also includes sandwiches, pastas, set meals, as well a selection of freshly-baked muffins, cakes and pastries.

I was really impressed with the Figaro Gourmet MealBox which only costs P100 each! These are quality ready-to-eat rice meals that promise a satisfying lunch. You can choose from six different pork or chicken rice sets and these are such an upgrade from the ones being sold in convenience stores.

It’s so easy to feed a hungry pack of family members with these very affordable Gourmet Mealboxes. These are restaurant quality meals at convenience store prices.

Among my favorites here are the Roasted Pork and the Pork Sisig rice meals. These would also be a convenient option for office lunches or small family gatherings during the post ECQ environment, since you don’t have to share dishes.

I also enjoyed the Chicken Arroz ala Cubana especially with its fried egg on top. Other options include Stir-Fried Chicken, Pork Teriyaki, and Breaded Chicken Kare-Kare served with kare-kare sauce on the side. I actually ordered enough for the next two days, since I can just keep these in the fridge and just reheat them in the microwave when I want to eat them.

Figaro also offers its outstanding lineup of pastries for delivery. I ordered a pack of their Heavenly Cheeseroll (P230 for 4pcs) for my afternoon snack. These light and fluffy cheeserolls are similar to a sweet ensaymada but with a softer texture.

Kids and kids-at-heart will love these Chocolate Lava-filled Muffins (P340 for 4pcs). Heat them up a little bit and let the chocolate lava ooze out from inside the muffins.

Figaro also has other cakes and breads like the Chicken Chipotle Buns, Mango Cheesecake, and Red Velvet Cake among others. You can even get Figaro Coffee's famous House Blend or Barako Beans for your coffee fix.

I also ordered a few pre-cooked items from Tien Ma’s Taiwanese Cuisine. Tien Ma’s features authentic Taiwanese dishes such as Xiao Long Bao and Siomai but I was more interested in their delectable main courses which are good for 4-5 persons.

These dishes are served frozen so just pop them in the microwave for a few minutes and they are ready to be served. The Sweet and Sour Pork (P435) is a popular Chinese specialty that you can find in most restaurants. 

I really liked the Stir-fried Beef with Broccoli (P440). The flavorful beef strips were cooked with savoury oyster sauce plus the crunchy broccoli and vegetables make it a complete and balanced dish. The Fish Fillet in Black Beans Sauce (P435) is also a good seafood item to go along with the other meaty dishes.

Ordering at www.thefigarogroup.ph is so easy. Just add your orders to the cart and pay for your purchase through bank transfers or credit cards. With a minimum purchase of P500, you can schedule your order for pick-up or through third party delivery apps from their commissary located at 33 Mayon Street, Barangay Malamig, Mandaluyong City. Ordering cut off time is until 5:00 pm daily while pick-up time is between 9:00 am to 3:00 pm the next day. Same day delivery is also available with a lead time of 3 to 4 hours. Being stuck at home now doesn't seem so bad when you have these delicious items from Figaro and Tien Ma's to keep you company.
