Three Squares Cafe + Bar In Makati Lets You Dine In A Furniture Store

Cafe & bar inside a furniture store

Brunch dates and furniture shopping are two things we find ourselves enjoying when we start to become adults. However, with our adulting responsibilities, we might not always have time for both.

Thankfully, Three Squares Cafe + Bar in Makati lets you do both of these refreshing activities at once. The cafe-and-bar is located inside the furniture store Design Story, letting you kill two birds with one stone.

To suit the chic space, Three Squares Cafe + Bar serves fancy, Italian brunch recipes, starting from their appetizers such as the truffle mushroom and jamon serrano croquettes ((P280-P300, ~USD5.45 to USD5.84).

Of course, the cafe has a variety of pasta which Italian cuisine is known for. Their pasta menu includes spicy, smoky amatriciana (P320, ~USD6.23) and briny vongole (P380, ~USD7.40), which is linguini pasta with clams.

For a light snack, you can get sweet and savory toasts and sandwiches. They also have chocolate cake, cheesecake, and affogato for dessert.

Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages

Three Squares Cafe + Bar offers coffee classics, hot or cold. Non-coffee drinkers can also get hot or iced chocolate and hot tea.

However, you should definitely try their signature coffee recipes on your visit to the cafe. Both their cafe con leche – strong coffee and scalded milk – and their spiced shakerato made with shaken espresso cost P180 (~USD3.51).

Doubling as a bar, the cafe serves classic cocktails such as negroni, daiquiri, dry martini, and the brunch staple margarita. They also have signature alcoholic drinks inspired by furniture styles, namely Zen, Silhouette, and Modernist.
