What an adorable spot! Food was outstanding but get here early! They’re a not so secret local hot spot so they have limited lumpia (but it’s totally worth it). If you haven’t stopped in you have to…Filipino food is something that needs to be experienced and Merienda Cafe is the place just the place to do it. Try everything once the menu once. Cannot wait to be back!

First time here. Decided on the pork adobo which was good but very different than other filipino adobos. Garlic fried rice was very good as well. Really wanted lumpia but they seem out of quite a few things. Glad i tried it!

Excellent food and drinks. The Ube Milk Cap was so good, and the Tocilog was wonderful. I was worried it would be too sweet but it was very well balanced in flavor. A friend had the Tofu and it was amazing, it had almost a vinegar/pickled flavor to it that I loved. I was only visiting from out of town, otherwise I would already be planning on stopping back in.

Didn’t eat here. Just wanted to leave a review so others know that it’s just buffet style on Saturdays or you can do takeout. Kids are $20/person and adults are $30 something/person. Didn’t see this mentioned in other reviews so just plan accordingly.

This place doesn't miss. Drinks are pricey but worth it because they do them so well and there's always some new experimental/seasonal drink that slaps. Not boring. Food is incredible. Silog hits all the right notes. Their Papaya salad proved I don't hate salads. Try something new at this place. Again, they don't miss.

I gotta say this place is 20/10. It surpassed the expectations the images set. From the boba drinks to the appetizers it was superb. Best boba in the Midwest
