UCC Clockwork at Bluebay Walk ***


 
UCC Clockwork is now open at Bluebay Walk


UCC recently opened their cafe/ coffee bar at Bluebay Walk, Pasay this October called Clockwork. The place is also bundled with other UCC concepts nearby, Mitsuyado Sei-men (we review this next) and Yamato Bakery.






UCC Clockwork is a new and unique concept place serving third wave coffee, probably in response to new generation coffee places and concept places Starbucks Reserve. Here new brewing methods like cold drip and siphon. Bolder and more adventurous coffee creations are also introduced. And the place has a wider menu than your regular UCC. This is place for people who are serious about their coffee. Of course, the place is priced a bit higher than your regular UCC. Some of the favorites are here like the UCC House Blend, Sumiyaki Coffee Jelly.


The place is amazingly wide and spacious, with only a few seats at the ground floor. The bar at the ground floor is huge. Flavored beer is also available here, and some pastries. The second floor has a large seating capacity, and from above you can view the barista doing the coffee concoctions.


UCC Coffee Menu also has pressed juices

Check out the bar
Chocolate Croissants
The Maple Croissants are very good

more pastries
Specialty Coffee
Judy on the Rocks - P150 Salted Honey with Charcoal Brewed Coffee + Cream

Cafe Con Miel - P160 3 layers of Coffee, Honey and Milk


Some food entrees

Tocino Nothing extraordinary but the egg is well done
4 Cheese Quesadilla P220 Garlicky and good
I love these Longganiza

Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. We've been here twice in a span of a week,
great ambiance and coffee, but they need to offer more entrees. The all day Pinoy breakfast is a welcome treat.

Experience UCC





If you haven't tried UCC, then you're missing out on really good coffee.

This Japanese chain serves great food as well.


Last March 29, we went to UCC Mall Of Asia for my bro-in-law's birthday.

I was suprised that there were 2 branches set up here. People sure couldn't get enough of their "sorry Starbucks but we're pricier than you" coffees I suppose. Seriously, the UCC Cafe Terrace is a cozy and relaxing place for a quiet dinner or a nightcap. By the way, UCC stands for Ueshima Coffee Company.

You can't go wrong with their pasta choices like the eel pasta and the spaghetti soup,
one-of-a-kind but really good. I had the Cliffhanger, a fried Monte Cristo sandwich. It was devoid of any frills (no soggy fries, it had just a piece of orange) but it tasted heavenly. Layers and layers of chicken breast , bacon, ham, mozzarella cheese on a double decked sandwich then fried with crumbs. Delicious. Filling. 2 thumbs up.

I also ordered a plate of Garlic Shrimp and Mushroom Spaghetti to share. The pasta was really good, portions were generous. It was perfect; I just didn't like Shiitake mushrooms. But I wanted to try the unagi (eel) pasta the birthday boy ordered. Next time probably.


Check out their lavish desserts.

And avoid the Japanese curry.

Otherwise, this place is 2 thumbs up.

Sayonara.
