A Trip To Binondo : Cafe Mezzanine

P2072996ttt After a long an tiring walk from Camba St to Ongpin, we decided to have our breakfast at Cafe Mezzanine. It is located on the second floor of an old building at the corner of Ongpin and Yunchengko st. We actually saw the sign and went directly to the ground floor without knowing that it is a different restaurant (Chuan Kee to be specific).
P2072995tWe realized that we are on a wrong place after seeing the menu. Chuan Kee is actually included on my first itinerary because I really want to try their Halo-Halo but i had to remove it from my list because our time is limited and we have so many places to go. Anyway, a crew from Chuan Kee was kind enough to tell us the way towards the Cafe Mezzanine.P2072985t(one of the most famous streets in Binondo)
P2072997tThe Cafe Mezzanine is situated on the upper floor of the building and before you enter their Air-conditioned room, you will be welcomed by these trophies! The restaurant is also known as the Volunteer Fireman’s Coffee Shop not because they are being run by firemen but because all the revenues from this shop will be donated to Binondo Paco Fire Search and Rescue Brigade. So being here is like you are dining in for a cause!20160207_092736TThe shop’s interior. Simple and neat! 20160207_094919TThey also got Firemen’s helmet and other memorabilla on display. One of the most interesting highlights of Cafe Mezzanine!20160207_092114TWe went there around 7:30 and they are only offering their breakfast menu. I actually want to order their Soup No 5 but not yet available 20160207_092133THere are the menu.

Very flavorful20160207_093926TOkay that’s my first attempt to use chopsticks! 20160207_095011TI also learned that the person who owned the shop is the same person who owned the Eng Bee Tin and Mr Ube.20160207_092054tIt was one satisfying breakfast to start our day. My mom got a text from my Auntie telling us that she is also on her way to Binondo so we all went back to the Plaza and wait for her before heading to the Seng Guan Temple

    I love how charitable this cafe is! Would definitely give them a visit if i happen to be in the region. Businesses that do charity is a rare combination. Kudos to Mezzanine!
