Mano Modern Cafe is a charming Filipino spot known for its delicious food and friendly atmosphere. Despite its tiny size, it offers a cozy vibe perfect for meeting friends. Free street parking is available, which is convenient for visitors. The cafe serves a variety of Filipino dishes and drinks, including an all-day Filipino breakfast with options like the longanisa (2pc) and spam (1pc) combo, although some find the portions small for the price. Their menu features unique items like the panyan coffee, ube latte, and cold ube chai, all praised for their distinct flavors. The longanisa slider and tiramisube are also popular choices. The cafe boasts a fireplace by the front windows and has a handicap entrance, though the order counter has stairs. With limited seating, it can get crowded, so ordering ahead is recommended. Despite the wait during rush hours, the overall experience at Mano Modern Cafe is delightful and worth a visit. The pan de sal slider with longanisa is better than Kasama's, though smaller. Utensils are recommended for the messy yolk. Hashbrowns are nice and crispy, not greasy. Lumpia and coconut pork bowl are good take-home options. Drinks provide comfort, and silogs help calm hangriness after traffic. Quick service and a Filipino food fix are reasons to keep coming back. Bench seating is awkward as the bench is lower than the table. Lattes are good, with the pandan latte being more unique. Longanisa silog is decent, but garlic rice could have a stronger garlic flavor. Longanisa can be pretty oily. Lumpia are small but good.
