Updated as of January 23, 2024.
UCC (Ueshima Coffee Co.) is known as one of Japan’s oldest coffee shops. Here in the Philippines, it is popular for its specialty shops and is known to be the first to serve Japanese-style coffee to the locals.
UCC puts a premium on the beans it uses and the quality of the coffee it makes. Considered as one of the drivers of the Third Wave Coffee movement, UCC offers an exceptional coffee experience that has been well-received by Filipinos. Popular among the older generations, UCC has lately been drawing the young market as well. Since Filipinos are passionate food lovers, all of UCC concept stores have revamped their menu to cater to the Filipino palate. UCC added some new delish dishes and retained its classic bestsellers for a full-satisfaction menu offering.–

Mentore Coffee Bar by UCC hasn’t updated their menu since 2000, resulting to people having to choose from its incredibly long list of dishes. However, this year, UCC streamlined theirs by keeping some of the originals and adding some new ones. Here are a few of our picks from UCC’s newly-curated offerings:

Chicken cutlet smothered with sauce that has just the right consistency, sandwiched between the bread pieces which are soft on the inside yet crusty on the outside. The generous amount of the ingredients like tomatoes, lettuce and egg, are also a delish addition.
