Exchange Alley Coffee House Molito Lifestyle Center

Found it had over 4 stars on Google, decided to give it a try. We walked in , had no idea of where to order, waiting to be seated, quickly discovered that nobody wanted to talked to us as everyone looked at us then went back to being busy . The lady who took order from us later saw us and ignored us too. Eventually, found the hidden counter, ordered 2 latte and some food. They asked us to sit upstairs. I have an injured knee, I took my time to climb up the stairs then discovered that there 's no seat upstairs so I slowly made my way down. On my way back, gave me the chance to have a look at their merchandise section, all very dusty including a t-shirt. Our coffee arrived, it was alright. When food arrived, my egg benedict.....how do I put it, those 2 poached eggs were not cooked at all!!!! You can see water on the bacon mixed in with the sauce, egg white is totally uncooked. I couldn 't eat it so told the staff, he asked something but I was not fully sure. I thought he would take it back and make another one for me. A few min later he came back from the kitchen said something like chef said your eggs can 't be cooked the way you like, only way is scrambled. I thought maybe the chef didn 't want to poach the eggs so I said ok to scrambled eggs. Later on, the staff brought out my egg benedict, I discovered that the chef DIDN 'T make another meal, they RE COOKED my eggs, that 's why it could not be cooked poached eggs . I was feeling sick at that point of time, not to mention you might get a good chance to get salmonella from eating uncooked eggs. I have used my knife and fork to touch the eggs to see whether if they were undone, then chef just scrambled it from my plate? I thought COVID has lifted our standard of food hygiene. Pros: Good location Loft style Coffee is ok Cons: General cleanliness Food hygiene Customer service

Great little coffee spot in Molito. Ordered their grilled cheese sandwich and it didnt disappoint! Its a bit on the pricey end so be prepared to spend more than usual though. The sandwich comes with some chips and a tomato-based dip which was delicious! Also had a taste of their bombon latte and it was good as well. Would come back for sure!

Both their hot and iced mocha are alright. Pretty standard coffee, which is good if you're looking for something safe and familiar. But what keeps me coming back here even though I moved to Pasig is their gravy! I loooove their gravy. It really elevates the entire meal and if I could take home a tub I would. Their thick cut fries are good too! The 6 chicken fillets are crispy and flavorful, though a bit smaller than expected. The gravy though!!

I liked the coffee but not the food. Would love to see some dressing fot the mushroom toast, it's a bit dry for me. For the chicken sandwich, no condiments available as well. And the potatoes are too salty we had to dust off the salt. It's something worth trying once and that's it. They open really early so that's a plus.

Coffee was good but there was nothing exemplary about it. We ordered Christmas drinks tho which I think would not expose the coffee taste I would love to explore. Place is somehow bare as I assume it was newly established cafe in Molito, and simplicity was the new beautiful now but it's just so so for me. Surprisingly, they have service charges even the order process was 1. to order coffee at the counter and 2. they would serve it on the table. Coffee was too pricey compared to other starting coffee shops with specialty coffee. (I guess they are paying higher rent considering they are at the open side of Molito) Nevertheless, I love that they tried this new pomme frites (French fries) with curry. It's so smart! And the mix of spices in the coffee was just right.
