I became a regular of Figaro Cafe because my friend would usually stay there for hours for her reviews and most of the time I join her to just chat with her.
I heard it's Filipino owned and most probably explains why they have a lot of Filipino dishes on their menu.
We usually go at their branch in Brickroad beside Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall in Cainta, Rizal.
It's quite hard to find since they are located at the back of Brickroad but it still gets crowded especially at night because those who live near the place are already frequent customers like us.

| Cozy interiors and comfy wooden chairs |
The place is very cozy. The walls have wooden panels and rock patterns. Most of the interiors are actually made of wood and wall lamps lit the whole place.
Their chairs and tables are also wooden but comfy enough. The tables have marble top and they also have some couches available.
They also provide magazines and wi-fi for a minimum fee so staying for hours is no problem especially when you're waiting for someone.
The only thing I don't like at their Brickroad branch is the toilet because it doesn't look that clean and it's cramped, not enough lighting and they they usually run out of toilet paper.
Figaro got famous for their latte art where the foam is designed to look like a leaf or a flower etc.
Besides coffee they offer pasta, sandwiches, burgers, rice meals and of course lots of pastries and cakes.
Other drinks that they serve are Twining's tea, milk, hot chocolate and iced tea.
If you don't like warm drinks, they also serve iced coffee and recently milk teas.
They aren't like Starbucks who's famous for frappes but just a few months ago, they started adding it to their menu.

Their frappes are delicious, very creamy and not too sweet. For the non coffee drinkers, the Oreo frappe has no coffee in it and you may also ask the barista to remove the coffee for the other flavors.
I would also like to add that their frappes are cheaper compared to, let's say Starbucks or CBTL which ranges from 150 - 200Php, to think that the food at Figaro is quite expensive, e.g pasta dish for 200Php.

Besides coffee, I've tried some of their dishes like the pasta, salad and some rice meals especially at breakfast where they serve Tapsilog and other silog dishes.
Like what I've said, it's quite pricey. I think a dish starts at 150Php up to 300Php.
So if you plan on eating there prepare about 200-500Php for a full meal with coffee or any drinks.

Though it's quite expensive, the food is good and of course, when I eat at a place that serve dessert, I make sure I try them.
Figaro serves an assortment of desserts from cakes, brownies, bars, muffins, cupcakes etc.
The cakes are around 100Php per slice and the pastries are around 50Php.
The desserts are good and I've tried some chocolate cakes from them and so far I liked them all.
I was told that their Red Velvet is their best seller and so one time I tried a slice.
Their Red Velvet, like any other red velvet cake is a but dry but still good. the cream cheese frosting helps in moistening the cake, still I'm yet to find the best red velvet cake.
Besides the Red Velvet, they also have a Blue Velvet which I think is made of blueberry.

For those looking for a coffee shop in Rizal, besides Starbucks, you may opt to try Figaro in Brickroad.
They also have a branch inside the Sta. Lucia mall just between Cinema 9 and 10 but the one in Brickroad is open until 11PM.
Make sure you try their cakes and enjoy their coffee.
