Scooby's
Scooby's is a chain with various locations around town. Their brewed coffee at PHP 50 is both a larger serving and (at least for some tastes) better quality than most coffee offered on Rizal Boulevard at PHP 70-120. They also have all the usual variations on espresso, several types of herbal tea, a range of mostly western-style baked goods, and moderately-priced mostly Filipino hot foods. There is a seniors' discount if you have a Philippine senior ID. ACR card not accepted.For Western tastes, most Filipino spaghetti sauces are appallingly sweet, and many will find the spaghetti here downright ghastly. Order the lasagna here (PHP 55) or go to Filomena for a much better cheap (PHP 45) spaghetti. For excellent pasta at considerably higher prices, try Mafioso or Pasta King.

Wah Crepe
A small stand selling coffee, crepes, waffles & fruit shakes. All are freshly made and good quality; plum crepes and avocado shakes are remarkable. Best buy is a combo, shake plus waffle. It is only one of a group of food stands, so ordering a shake here and getting food elsewhere is possible. The place is popular with the town's resident foreigners; it gets more younger ones and fewer drunks than their other hangouts.
