Reviews - Cafe Maxims
Reviews summary
Tucked inside a resort complex, this air‑conditioned cafe offers a varied Filipino + Italian/American menu with strong highlights: excellent espresso, satisfying spaghetti, flourless chocolate and a good bibingka. Opening hours are convenient and the atmosphere is inviting and relaxed.
Expect upscale prices and occasional inconsistency in service; some mains (baby back ribs, kare‑kare) can be less tender than hoped. Reported issues include flies on displayed fruit and occasional unavailability of the tea‑time set, so check menu options on arrival.

The opening hours are convenient. The food is very good, although it is somewhat pricey (Shake Php 214.94, Large Bibingka Php 285.71, Macadamia Slice Cake Php 232.14). However, not all of the staff provide excellent service, particularly the male employees. View all feedback.
What Lenna Becker dislikes about Cafe Maxims:
I'm glad they offer fresh apple juice for 261 php. However there was a swarm of flies sitting on the apples. Can you hire someone to kill the flies. This is an indoor air conditioned cafe. For this many flies the problem must been present for a while. Thought this was an upscale place? Ty. View all feedback.

Cafe maxims is located inside resortworld manila. A great place to chill with friends. We initially went here for their tea time set but apparently it was not available. So we just ordered some alacarte snacks: Ensaymada creamy cheese puffy but ok taste Ensaymada dulce de leche same as above Chicken curry puff spicy but not worth the price Bibingka very good White macadamia cake ok
A good mix of Filipino food and a variety of italian/american food. Their baby back ribs is not that soft compare to other places I’ve been to Manila. The kare kare is good but also not as tender. The spaghetti is really good since my son really enjoyed it. Their flourless chocolate is divine, and the mango cheesecake is just ok for my taste. I would recommend this for tourists who wants to enjoy a Filipino delicacy and also have a taste of their favorite italian/american food. By the way, the espresso is awesome, can’t beat that compare to starbucks.
A bit pricey but the ambience makes up for it. Not too crowded, perfect for when you’re waiting for the musical play you’re gonna watch in their theater.
The breakfast set was great. I tried the pinoy breakfast (with tapa or beef steak) and was surprised with the generous servintg of beef. The breakfast set came with a cup of fee (too small for a coffee junkie like me). Its a really good place to hangout, food is too pricey though.
