Sip and Bite: Warm drinks and comforting treats you’ll love in Araneta City
Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a sunny morning, there’s no better feeling than holding a hot drink in hand and enjoying something delicious on the side. It’s more than just food—it’s a pause, a little hug in the middle of a busy day.
In Araneta City, this everyday comfort comes in many forms. From bold coffee and sweet pastries to traditional bites and warm chocolate drinks, here are the best spots to enjoy a comforting sip and a delicious bite.
Le Bistro
ibis Styles Manila Araneta City | Level 5, Gateway Mall 2
Step into the warm, welcoming vibe of Le Bistro and slow down with a perfectly brewed cup of coffee paired with their Burnt Basque Cheesecake, a rustic slice with a creamy center and a caramelized top that’s slightly smoky and sweet. It’s bold yet mellow, just like great conversations over coffee.
Le Bistro also offers their ‘Pair It Up‘ promo, where you can enjoy your favorite coffee or beverage paired with a perfectly crafted pastry or sandwich! Available Monday to Thursday until September 30, 2025, for only PHP 320 nett.
Sticky Sweet
World Kitchens, Level 4, Gateway Mall 2
Looking for something unique and playful? The Warabi Set at Sticky Sweet features soft, chewy mochi dusted with soybean or matcha powder, served with silky brown sugar syrup, matcha ice cream, and sweet adzuki beans. A cup of hot coffee cuts through the sweetness perfectly, making this pairing both comforting and well-balanced.
The Matcha Tokyo PH
Coliseum Plaza, Ground Floor, Gateway Mall 2
If matcha is your kind of comfort, The Matcha Tokyo PH will feel like home. Their Hot Matcha Latte is rich and soothing, a true taste of premium Japanese green tea. Pair it with a Matcha Milk Jam Croffle: a crispy, buttery croissant-meets-waffle drizzled with creamy matcha jam. It’s a matcha-on-matcha experience, perfect for those who can never get matcha.
Pocofino
Ground Floor, Gateway Tower
Chocolate lovers, this one’s for you. Pocofino’s Ciobar Hot Chocolate is thick and deeply chocolatey, more like a dessert in a cup than a regular drink. To match, go for a slice of their oven-baked cheesecake, light and smooth with just the right touch of sweetness.
UCC Park Café
Restaurant Collection, Ground Floor, Gateway Mall 2
At UCC Park Café, the hot coffee offers a soothing warmth that complements the Nippon Ube Cheesecake beautifully. This delicate, mildly sweet dessert combines the richness of ube with the creaminess of cheesecake for a finish that’s smooth, satisfying, and perfectly creamy.
Ya Kun Kaya Toast
Upper Ground A, Gateway Mall 2
Take a flavorful detour to Singapore with Ya Kun Kaya Toast’s beloved set: a cup of hot coffee, kaya toast with butter, and two soft-boiled eggs—a combination that’s not only comforting but also hearty.
Nanyang
Ground Floor, Gateway Mall 1
Nanyang offers a hearty meal too, with their Toast Set Meal that includes a hot kopi or teh, soft-boiled eggs, and crispy kaya toast that truly hits the spot!
Angkan
Upper Ground Floor, Gateway Mall 1
Sometimes, the best comfort comes from familiar flavors. At Angkan, you’ll find Chef Jessie’s Pandesal Espesyal, pillowy-soft bread rolls filled with savory classics like Corned Beef, Tuna, or Adobo. Enjoy them with a cup of strong, freshly brewed coffee, and you’ve got a breakfast or merienda that’s hearty, nostalgic, and proudly Filipino.
Wiltlover Cafe
Upper Ground Floor, Gateway Mall 1
Wiltlover Cafe brings a playful twist to your hot drink fix. Their Hot Toasted Chocomallows is topped with golden, gooey marshmallows for a sweet, toasty finish. Pair it with a chocolate croissant, buttery and crisp with just enough chocolate to satisfy. This combo is warm, sweet, and a little magical.
