This cafe has a wonderful interior with a lot of seating options. I am a fan of Filipino cafes and was excited to try this one out. I ordered the ube matcha, and they were out of the mango and strawberry matcha. I’m unsure if this is because I went on a Saturday at 10:30a.m., but they may be out of certain flavors. The latte had a mild flavor of both ube and matcha, and if that’s what you’re looking for then I recommend trying it out! If not, then try a different Filipino cafe in Chicago. I didn’t get a chance to try the food, and was honestly a bit confused by the menu. I wish they had the food menu also posted instead of a QR code to ease the process of looking at options. I did not realize they had other food options besides baked goods until after I ordered and looked online. Also, there was some confusion about what baked goods were available bc they were crossed out on the menu (see photo) but the cashier told me they had everything available, including the banana bread, until she checked in the back. Overall, had an okay experience here.

Loved the vibe & service was amazing! Just wish that our Ube & Pandan latte had more flavor☹️ it tasted more like a regular latte but was good nonetheless!

I really liked the sausages and rice bowl, except I had to stop eating once I saw a piece of hair that was in the rice.

We got a variety of silogs, rice bowls, and lumpias for takeout. They were all delicious. We were a party of 10 and essentially sampled everything from our order. I wish we tried them fresh while they were still hot. Even my vegetarian friend really enjoyed the vegan chorizo rice bowl, which I appreciated their vegetarian/vegan options.
We got the huge order picked up right before dinner, and the staff were very friendly!

Ambiance and service is amazing. Ube latte was more of a taro taste that is purple.

Love the interior, great comfy seating to camp out and work esp with the food options. so cute how Filipino things are integrated into the decor all throughout but in a unique way (considering how many Filipino cafes are opening here! def worth trying).

I LOVE Mano- the food is good and well priced; their hours of operation is super convenient as they’re open for early birds and late as well. Their iced ube matcha is great, and you can go wrong with any of their silogs. It’s a cozy place to also get some work done and the last two times I was there, they were showing Batman Returns and Transformers the movie (big plus in my book!).

Love the team at Mano that turns on my brain every morning! Seriously couldn’t get through my day without getting a cappuccino from them! Each of their baristas knows how to perfectly execute the espresso to foam ratio. I walk by two other coffee shops to get to them. Because it’s worth it! I know they make more exciting drinks but I stopped by every day for cappuccino because it’s consistently good, their team is incredible and it’s fast! I’ve also had the food which is quite wonderful! I’m a big fan of the classic hashbrowns! Definitely give this place a try! If you’re lucky you’ll get Jose one of my favorite baristas.

Very cute homey feel cafe. They have your classic coffee drinks with phillipino variations. Constant flow of guests which is a great sign and super busy on weekends. Enjoyed the food and the cold brew was solid.

Mano Modern is one of my favorite Filipino spots in town. Their vibes are so chill and welcoming, they have delicious and affordable Filipino comfort food and they play really good music. I always feel so welcome there. Also highly recommend their pandan chai latte! 🙌🏽☕️🇵🇭
