MAKATI CITY is probably one of the busiest areas in the Philippines. I've often heard people say this is our country's equivalent of the NYC considering that people in business attires seem to be walking and rushing all over the place. Amid all the chaos, pollution, tall buildings and honking of cars, herein situated is a haven where one could take a break, even momentarily, from the buzz of corporate life.
Zoo Coffee brings with it the serene ambiance of an animal-themed cafe where a lot of cutesy stuffed toys and furnitures would greet you at the onset. It is a Korean-franchised Cafe which opened its first (and only, as of this writing) branch at the ground floor of Alphaland (near RCBC). Outside boasts a towering life-sized giraffe while inside you will be greeted with stuffed pandas, white tigers, as well as monkeys hanging on artificial trees. They surely would love to dine with you! The cafe is decorated in zebra stripes as well.
The menu does not fall far from the origins: it's Korean! Smoothies with yogurt, ades, frappe, waffle, teas, specialty coffee, pastries, ice cream, sandwiches - chicken and hotdog with your choice of flavor (there's teriyaki, there's bbq). Pasta was not yet available as of this writing but they will be, soon!
Here's some snaps of our brunch:
You can choose between having the sandwich ala-carte, or with salad. And look, even the latte art screams zebra!
