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.

Gyro Monsters
Cheap and tasty shawarma; the best seller is beef or chicken shawarma wrapped in pita at PHP 30, or 35 with cheese. The most expensive thing on the menu is shawarma rice for PHP 50; two of the sandwiches are a better buy.If you expect shawarma as you would find it in the Middle East, you will be disappointed here. For that, at slightly higher prices, walk a block north to Mediterranean Food (Turkish, listed at ) or go to Tarbush (Lebanese, ).
