I've been here so many times. I love having meals around art pieces. Here, I recommend only two things: pasta negra and the coffee. Pasta negra is perfectly done. Al dente , squid ink coating the pasta beautifully, squid rings tender, the dish is flavorful , no fishy taste. I cook but I could not duplicate exactly the way they do it . They have truly mastered the art of cooking pasta negra. Coffee is served in individual coffee presses, good for two cups. I only remember Sagada and kalinga as choices, these I always order. But I know there are four. I wish I could recommend more dishes ... but these are all I'm happy with.

Came here for their lava cakes (loved dearly by the boyfriend), but they were out. Instead, we had a slice of Yema and Tablea cake. The Yema cake will bring joy to those who have enjoyed this diabetes inducing treat since childhood. Its chiffon was fluffy and not dry. Tablea cake can rival the one in Chocolat: Deep Dark Chocolate Cakes (Death by Tablea). Simple, sweet chocolate with shaved tablea on top. Accompanying our desserts were a cup of Sagada and Barako pressed coffee. Sagada, in my standards as a strong, black coffee drinker, was too dilute. Barako was barako. Nothing can go wrong there.

Masarap dito! Yun nga lang, medyo mahal. Gustong-gusto namin ng mga kaklase ko ang kanilang kape. Sakto ang timpla't tapang nito. Masarap (at marami) ang cheese sa kanilang pizza, kahit sa plain man o yung may sausage. Kulang sa paminta ang Shrimp Pasta Aligue noong umorder ako, pero babalikan ko pa rin ito. Okay din ang kanilang rootbear float. The best ang kanilang Chocolate Lava Cake. :-)

Great place to hang out. Perfect for art enthusiasts. Bit pricy but offers a great service. You'll want to check out their gallery after drinking your coffee or eating one of their oh so good meals.

I ordered Carbonara and Dark Chocolate Molten Cake.The Carbonara was not very tasty so I added a lot of parmesan cheese but I love the molten cake :) The place is great with all the art that can be viewed.

Art Circle Cafe is a usual hangout place for me and my friends. They have a wide variety of food from all day breakfasts to sandwiches, pasta, heavy meals and desserts. What I would recommend would be the Breakfast Tapa that comes with free coffee (Sagada brew tastes best). For pasta, its either the Pasta Negra or Shrimp Aligue Pasta. The drinks are also a must try like the Guyabano and Wheatgrass.

The staff was really nice. Love eating while surrounded by good Filipino art. My usually order will be any or mix of the ff: Tomato soup, fish in olive oil, vegetarian somosa, tuna pitawich, and missionary salad. Molten cake is a must try and for their drinks, the special blend and sagada coffee is really good.

One of my favourite placed in UP. Artsy look but not pretentious; cafe is actually inside or integrated into the art gallery. You can order their coffee by cup or press; tea also available. Doesn't get noisy as the place is open and tables are far apart (except for the area at the back). Food is delicious, price is a bit reasonable. I find the special drinks pricey though, such as the chrysanthemum iced tea. Some of the items in their menu are no longer available. Major plus for this cage is the extremely friendly staff/servers. Very attentive and always has a ready smile.

Lots of beautiful art. Ambiance of the restaurant is a bit gloomy. I've heard a lot of great things about Art Circle Cafe. So I was expecting to be wowed. Chicken Quesadilla, was okay. Was Disappointed with the Eggplant with Pesto Pitawich because there were parts of it inside that was cold. It was hard to eat. Chicken pesto pasta was okay as well.

Food is often hit or miss, a lot like the other reviews here mention. Lava Cake: One of the best I have tried. The white lava tastes a lot better, and the fudge just flows out when you cut it up. For an additional 25, they will serve it with ice cream. It is definitely a must-trySquash soup:  If you've tried one, you've tried them all. Squash soup is good, but nothing out of the ordinary squash soup that it is.Pink burger: do not try. japanese salad in a burger bun and sweet patty is a nasty combination.Though they say they have wifi, it's not very reliable.Verdict: Lava cake is really good and stands above anything in their menu.
