Verena's Cafe ambiance is cozy. It's spacious and comfy to eat their delish dishes. As for the service, the crew are very friendly, they know how to serve well and give their customers the best dining experience. ♥️Food is good too. I love their Spanish Sardines Pasta, it's super tasty 😊 the tapa is good too. I just dont like the sisig pizza, it's kinda bland in taste, i think it needed more cheddar than more mozzarella, but for the size, it's bigger than what I expected.Overall it's a 4/5 for me ♥️

The recently renovated Verena’s Cafe was a total disappointment. They added an impressive display of baked goods and other pastries, but sadly, this did not compensate for the bad service and unaccommodating staff. We felt like we were invisible, despite the fact that we were the only dining customers during that time. I guess they were too busy with the preparations for an upcoming event (which, sadly, I think is the main reason why they treat their customers like they don’t exist). We were here a few weeks back, and we decided to try their pinakbet pizza. After a few minutes, the waiter came back with a plate of pinakbet. “Kuya, pinakbet pizza po inorder namin.” The waiter only scratched his head in confusion. I would understand if the restaurant was full of customers, but it was a lazy sunday night and if I remember it right, again, we were the only ones there.We decided to give them another chance by going back this afternoon by trying their pinakbet pizza and gising gising. it took them more than thirty minutes to prepare our orders, which was okay at first. To be fair, both the gising gising and pinakbet pizza were good, but i wanted a bagoong dipping sauce for my pizza so we called the waiter and requested for a bagoong dippig sauce (which arrived like more than 20 minutes after in the form of an alamang). Again, another disappointment. I forgot to mention that we had a hard time calling for their attention. One lady staff was busy over the pastry counter and didn’t even bother looking at us, and most of the waiters (i think there were three of them) were busy going around, paying more attention to the preparations for their upcoming event.Oh, and behind us was a table that was messy when we got there and still messy when we left.So much for second chances.
