Artesania MNL Cafe is not your ordinary cafe. Its charms lie on the things that you can do in their place. Here, you may pick out pens you can use to color a page from a coloring book. They also organize art workshops led by certified artists. For a minimal fee, you can already indulge yourself into the arts while enjoying your cup of coffee.There were four of us who visited Artesania MNL Cafe, and we stayed there for a couple of hours. I had the Galaxy Latte, which happens to be the cafe's best selling beverage.Others had their cup of black coffee, mocha, and affogatto. I have also ordered their matcha cake with mixed berry and nuts. For someone who isn't that fond of cakes, I find it good enough on my side. If only I wasn't feeling full that day, I would have also tried their other dishes as well, since this artsy place offers a variety of full meals, including pastas, pizzas, and salads.

Artesania MNL is a new cafe along the famous Maginhawa Street in Quezon City that serves coffee and food while allowing you to release the artistic side of you. It’s a totally refreshing idea to have good food and do arts at the same time in just one place. Everything is so cozy and artsy. It is very intimate, therefore, not intimidating. From the interiors and the food that they serve, they all look beautiful and guaranteed to help you de-stress from the outside world. A lot of art programs, workshops and events await you!

I've heard of the place for my best friend is working in Artesania MNL Cafe. Even before the cafe opened, I've seen images on how the owners and crew dedicated time and effort to decide on the menu and concept of the cafe. When I finally visited the place, I saw how friendly owners and crew are. Of course, I saw my best friend and how happy she is working in the cafe. The place is quite small but full of potential. They have organized events and activities posted on their events blackboard. Events and activities such as calligraphy, makeup, and art workshops, spoken poetry and celebration of music. Menu includes a justifiable number of snacks and drinks. Menu is creative and well-thought of for it has unique names. Price of snacks are not that expensive and affordable. It's quite considered at the middle of being pricy and cheap. Great tasting food and drinks. Love Me Tender- I love how this pasta is creamy and how the beef (though quite not that tender and salty) and mushrooms suits the creamy sauce. It tastes similar with carbonara. It also has a big serving and I believe would suit two people but that time I was a bit hungry so I was able finish one. Who Moved My Cheese- I loved how lots of mozarella is used in the sandwich. However, the steak was a bit salty. I also love the side chips included. I don't quite remember if the chips is cassava or sweet potato. Lychee Lemon Tea- truly refreshing and good tasting tea Caramel Macchiato- I had this on the go so I was charged for the plastic cup. It is topped of with whipped cream and sprinkles which I believe was a mistake for I love my drink without such toppings but you can request non inclusion of such toppings. Cheesecake- I don't quite remember the name of the cheesecake but I remember how delicious the cheesecake is. And when I say it's delicious, it really is for the crust includes hazelnut and the cheesecake is creamy.Come on, Irene- I haven't tried this pizza but I'm dying to try this on my next visit.Taste- 4 Price- 4Service- 4Ambiance- 3
