Every cafe I have visited has its own distinct ambiance and just recently, I came to visit a Unicorn themed cafe located in Malolos, Bulacan that is a first in the Philippines!

The Cafe

The area is a pastel coloured two-floor cafe that can only accommodate less than 20 persons (a few more if you don’t mind sharing your personal space in a more cozy way) and is strategically located in the owners’ home at 1200 ARBE Mac Arthur Hi-way Malolos City, Bulacan.

It serves customers from 11 A.M. to 7 P.M. Mondays to Sundays.  It is air-conditioned but sadly not cold enough to keep customers from sweating while dressed in their Unicorn Onesies. The place is ideally suited to sitting Indian style, crossed legged on the floor and I think this is a better option than having chairs as it saves a lot of space and since this is a Unicorn themed Cafe, there are lots of Unicorn stuff toys and it’s great being a Unicorn for a day!

Disclaimer: The ambiance of the place is not literally an Instagrammable one once you set foot in it so you’ll have to be creative in the way you compose your pictures.

How to get there?

You have two options in order to visit this place. You may opt to ride a bus or a Van. Either way, travel time is around 45 minutes to 1 hour.

If you are near Cubao, you can ride at Baliwag Transit with trips going to “Tabang-Malolos” or just beside the Transit (near Dunkin Donuts) you can ride a van. Bus fare is at Php 58 while Php 60 for the Van.

Another option is to ride a Van located at the transport terminal in Trinoma. Just look for the Vans which have trips to Malolos-Bulacan. Fare is at Php 60.

Tell the driver/conductor to drop you off at Palawan Express just beside the Land Bank of the Philippines that is few meters away from Robinson’s place (this is to avoid walking from Robinson’s Place to the cafe). From there, you will be able to see a house painted with pastel colors (PINK and BLUEGREEN).

Going back to Manila?

Walk straight to Robinsons Place Malolos. Cross from the footbridge and from there, you can already wait for buses going to Cubao. Fare is Php 58

If you opt for a van, hire a tricycle that will bring you to Malolos Crossing where the Van Terminal is located. Trike Fare is Php. 30 for two. Van fare is at Php 60.

Tip: Aside from saving from the trike fare, it is more comfortable riding a bus because it is more ventilated compared to a van but if you prefer for a faster trip, go for the van.

Budget and the Food

Twin Star Meal for PGP 350 and Fried&Nuggets for Php 129 Bacon w/ Egg and Chicken Tocino w/ Egg for Php 79 each; Mojos for Php 99

Tip: Order something that will cost Php 250 min, and you can have a free use of one Onesie of your choice saving a rental fee of Php 100.

Note: In my opinion, although the price is very affordable as per the menu list, the quality and quantity of the food is somewhat ‘ordinaire’ as it is plain but I understand that there is a mission uunderwayto improve on multiple levels in the near future.

Cat Cafe Manila is not your usual cafe in your vicinity. It is a cafe designed for feline lovers with a mission to spread love for cats and advocate for responsible pet ownership while delivering a themed cafe experience for their consumers through loving cats and mouth-watering food and drinks.

The Cafe is located on the second floor of 189 Maginahawa Street corner Makadios Street, Sikatuna Village, Quezon City that opens at 12NN to 10PM every day. There are house rules that are being strictly implemented for the sake of the cats and the visitors as well that you need to follow. 

So, how was my experience here? Well, I find the cafe good because the experience here is different from the common cafe you can find in the neighborhood. They offer plates of pasta,  cookies and cupcakes, ice-blended drinks and of course coffee and the best of it comes with the peace that the cats give you during your stay! Although I have expected more about the cafe since I thought it was a spacious one. Nonetheless, it was really a nice place to spent an episode of my weekend.

These cats are so adorable.

The owners of the cafe who are absolutely feline lovers have partnered with CARA Welfare Philippines (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals) to provide a temporary home for PUSPINS or Pusang Pinoy/Pusakal who will be adopted later on by deserving feline lovers.

ADOPT DON’T SHOP!!!

What better than to have a purring pussy in your life that can bring so much happiness to you and your family and friends and in return for your love and kindness they will repay you tenfold. No more rats or mice and even roaches will be targeted; in fact, most bugs will stay away in fear of their lives and in return, it costs you some milk and a little food.

If you are planning to get a cat, you may want to consider adopting one instead of buying from pet shops. Below are the Cats that are open for adoption. Note that each of these cats has a story, a story about how they were rescued.

Steps in order for you to adopt a cat are as follows:

1. Choose a cat. Provide your name, e-mail address and the name of the cat you want to adopt (see above photos) to the Cat Ambassador at the counter.
2. Fill out the adoption application form and answer some critical questions as a screening test.
3. Interview by CARA.
4. If you pass 2 and 3, CARA will schedule a visit to your home, then make necessary recommendations.
5. Pay the adoption fee worth Php 800 at CARA clinic on your scheduled pick-up date.
