Antipodean
Antipodean is one of those if-you-know-you-know gems in Makati. This café is the perfect mix of Australian and New Zealander breakfast culture and Southeast Asian dining flair. They serve various breakfast dishes, pizzas, vegan items, pastries, and of course, a wide selection of hot and cold coffee-based beverages, making it perfect for sating early morning cravings. Additionally, Antipodean is decked out in tropical and old-school café vibes thanks to plants scattered around, hand-written menu board, and more. Talk about cozy.

The Wholesome Table
When it comes to the whole eating-organic food trend, one of the first restos that come to mind is The Wholesome Table. If you and your friends can make it to the restaurant before 11 a.m., you can order from the Wholesome Breakfast menu, which includes classics like Cinnamon French Toast (P241.50), and Croque Madame (P409.50), among others. But don't fret if that's too early. They also have other morning eats that are available all day, like Salmon Tuyo (P598.50) and Chicken Tocino (514.50).
See a list of The Wholesome Table branches online. For more information, visit The Wholesome Table's Facebook page.
The Coffee Academics
The Coffee Academics is a Hong Kong coffee chain that has been making waves in the Philippine market. Although you may see kiosks and stalls of the brand in some malls around the Metro, TCA Philippines also has sit-down café concepts, specifically in Alabang and Makati. At these full dine-in restaurants, you can have hot bites like the Shrimp Cakes Benny (P615) and Eggs Royale Bibingka (P465) or pasta dishes like Aglio Olio with Chicken Parm (P465) and even rice meals like Steak Rice (P815) and Miso Salmon in Sarciado Sauce (P615), alongside the usual coffee and pastries served at The Coffee Academic kiosks.

Spotted Pig Manila
Spotted Pig is a famous café in Siargao. They ventured to the Metro and opened their first Metro Manila branch in early 2023. Fans of the brand were stoked to have all their favorite Siargao eats from Spotted Pig available sans the trip to the island. Spotted Pig Café Manila serves specialty coffee, all-day brunch, salads, sandwiches, bowls, desserts, and pastries made in-house by their team. You can't miss the decor and vibes at this Makati spot either. The café is decked out in lots of greenery, murals of tropical plants, and inviting warm lights. You won't miss the island vibes here. Hey, if you can't go to the beach might as well hit up Spotted Pig Café Manila for the same feels.
Spotted Pig Manila is at 109 Esteban St, Legazpi Village, Makati. It is open Mondays to Sundays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit Spotted Pig Manila's Facebook page.
Commune
You may have seen Commune's friendly-for-the-'Gram 3D latte art on your IG feeds or other social media platforms. But this Makati café is more than aesthetic cups of joe; They also serve pastries and meals to pair with their drinks. They've got salads, rice bowls, paninis, and pan de sal sandwiches perfect for early morning eating. If you're looking for Filipino morning food, they also serve their take on Pork Tocilog, Chicken Longsilog, and even Adobo with Egg.

Grace Park
Grace Park is another restaurant from the Chef Margarita Fores. At Grace Park, you get your usual Filipino eats reimagined by applying modern cooking techniques. The dishes at this resto were inspired by the recipes used at Chef Fores' own ancestral home. This is to say that if you're looking for a dose of the familiar made arguably better by none other than one of Asia's greatest female chefs, then head to Grace Park, stat!

Your Local elevates the basics to a whole new level and puts their signature modern Asian twist to these classics. Nosh on sweet and savory sandwiches like the Brown Butter Kaya Toast (P160) and Beef Brisket Hash Croissant (P550), or for a heartier meal, go for any of their rice bowls like Hot Stone Breakfast Nasi Lemak (P650).

Refinery
Refinery is a third-wave coffee shop that, aside from serving top-notch cups of joe, also serves all-day breakfast and brunch items, international comfort dishes, and light meals. Now if you're thinking, well, other coffee shops also do that well, you might also want to know that they also have cocktails on the menu. Yup, getting turnt here means sobering up to a bangin' cup of coffee. Kidding aside, hit up this Makati specialty coffee shop whenever you're in the mood to add a little spice to your morning brunch sessions.

Single Origin
Much like Refinery, you can also get booze alongside your brunch and coffee at Single Origin. But even without the tipples, you can still count on Single Origin to deliver great, come-back-for-more comfort food. Single Origin is often the choice for brunch and breakfast dining—waffles and smoothie bowls, anyone?—but you can also hit it up at any other time as they also serve other eats and pastries perfect for any time of the day. Our top picks? Their Shrimp Poppers (P400) are an excellent choice for finger food while chatting, but if it's a heartier eat you are looking for, try their Pasta Negra Frutti de Mare (P500).
See a list of Single Origin branches online. It is open on Mondays to Sundays from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. For more information, visit Single Origin's Instagram account.
Panco Cafe
Panco Cafe offers Filipino Fusion dishes and specialty coffee from Australia. Panco stands for pan de sal and coffee, two Filipino breakfast staples that the café hopes to modernize and reinvent with the use of different fillings, and flavor combinations. But if you're more of a rice eater for breakfast or brunch, no need to worry. They also have a selection of Filipino rice meals to fill you up. Enjoy your weekend brunch with your friends, as the ambiance at Panco Cafe is perfect for catching up with friends and family. The area is big and spacious, with splashes of color accented with more neutral decor. Safe to say, this spot will pass the vibe check of any tita on the lookout for a good hangout spot.
