UCC is still one of the best. Food is great and delicious. We just noticed that the service here is kinda disappointing. I understand if the staffs are tired but please refrain from showing a sad/mad face to the customers. Spread some good vibes. Smile at least!

The food isn't cooked upon order, so it's not as hot (or feels reheated), but the taste is still good. I got full with just the salad. He staff are friendly. There's also plenty of outdoor and shaded parking in Santolan Town Plaza :)

We were looking for a place to catch up and talk a while and UCC was perfect. Service was really good. I had the cake of the day - it was tiramisu splenda which came with a coffee. The coffee was really strong (i stayed awake all night). Tiramisu was soaked in coffee and tasted really good. My friends had the matcha parfait. Also highly recommended.

UCC Cafe Terrace is an amazing coffee shop in the heart of San Juan. The signature coffee is consistent and is still the knockout out of their menu, and when we usually order clubhouse sandwiches during a merienda session, we opted to try the kani salad this time around. It was very delightful, the portions are reasonable and the kani used was of high quality. The prices are quite high, but it was definitely worth it. The cafe ambiance was just right, there was enough sunlight on every part of the cafe, and it is cozy enough to bring a book or a work laptop to study and review. The only lackluster part of the ambiance was that the chairs were already tattered and showing age of use. The actual town plaza was underwhelming though, so you only go here if you have actual business in the space. Overall a delightful afternoon spent, and is always appreciated.
