Nothing beats flavors made with love, and this cafe in Quezon City proves that with its Filipino-fusion dishes that satiate both the heart and the stomach
There is a saying that love only grows when shared, and we do so by giving away pieces of ourselves—from our words to our time—to those we hold dear. Perhaps this makes food one of the most powerful love languages of all. Whether bought or prepared, sharing food has the innate ability to bring people closer together, from platonic and romantic relationships to family ties. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to share some love through food, look no further than Made With Love. This glass café in Quezon City cooks up the best dishes with uniquely Filipino ingredients, guaranteed to fill not just your stomachs but also your heart with warmth.
Truly Made With Love
Made With Love was the product of the strong familial bonds between siblings Mica, Mical, Mariquit, and Marquita, and their mother Michelle. As avid travelers, they bonded over their shared love of cafe hopping—trying out different foods, reviewing different cafes, and imagining what they would do if they were the owners.
Fast forward to 2024—the family finally launched their own café inspired by their own bond and their desire to spread love through food and drinks. The store is as inviting as it is picturesque with massive glass pane windows, warm lighting, and cozy wooden furniture. Posters and drawings of the owners and their favorite things fill the space, adding a deeply personal touch to the modern space. With plenty of picture-worthy spots around the store, Made with Love is the perfect place for romantic dates, intimate get-togethers with friends, and family gatherings where you can make and capture new memories with your loved ones.
Recipes That Warm the Heart
What’s the secret behind Made With Love’s delicious treats and meals: love. Their menu consists of coffee, tea, pasta, sandwiches, croffles, and cakes, to name a few—all crafted with the best local ingredients.
Some of their best-sellers add a uniquely Filipino twist to foreign staples like pastas and hot chocolate. Among their standout dishes include the Malunggay Pesto Pasta. Malunggay leaves freshly picked from the cafe’s own pocket garden are used to make the signature pesto sauce used for the dish, combined with chicken breast and garlic for a deliciously satisfying and nourishing meal.
For the drinks, their signature Davao Chocolate certainly stands out. Crafted with 100% pure cacao tablea from Davao and creamy milk, the drink is the ultimate chocolate lover’s daydream with its deep flavor and velvety consistency that is both bold and comforting.
