Art Circle

An oasis in UPD. Gulay quality not so great but salmon and kindness and great setting on the menu. Wifi strong.

This restaurant offers a fantastic concept; delicious foods and beautiful artworks. This place is a combination of a cafe and an art gallery, where one can dine while buying an art work. Their foods and coffees are very comforting and satisfying, matched by the inspiring and eye-pleasing art works displayed all around the cafe. Highly recommended are their Pilipino breakfast meals paired with their French-pressed coffees.

I got myself tapsilog (which I absolutely loved!) while soaking in the beauty of the stunning art pieces around me although it would be great to see an updated and improved drinks menu

Have eaten here a few times and it's a cozy place and a good spot to spend your afternoon in. The place was quaint but it gave off the right atmosphere for a cafe. I would recommend getting their deserts here especially the calamansi pie. The staff in the cafe are very nice and accommodating too.

First time coming here. The food took about half an hour to come out. It was good, if a little understated. I ordered the Fish n Herbs. The fish was wonderfully soft, but the flavor profile is quite muted. The rice was just OK. My companion ordered the Arroz Ala Cubana, which was also just OK. The exterior doesn't look like much, but inside there were so many beautiful pieces of art. Every wall, almost every inch, is covered with artwork. The furnishing choices serve themselves to complement the art. The waiting time wasn't a concern for me because I was able to browse the artwork. Its worth coming here even just for admiring the art. Some people come here to chat with their friends in big groups, and the seating lends itself well to that.

A cafe and an art studio in one place is such a great concept and it's really cozy and peaceful here. Perfect for work/study, they also have unlimited free wifi and sockets are available. I've been disconnected a few times but it goes back eventually, I'd take this over 2hr-only wifi or slow speed wifi. The food and coffee are also good, I'm just not sure if they use freshly-pulled espresso bc I didn't see any machine. The beans they use is from Kalinga though so the strong earthy flavor is there. The servers are attentive and friendly.

Art Circle Café in UP Diliman is more than just a place to grab a bite, it’s a whole experience. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted not just by the aroma of comfort food but also by an atmosphere that feels like a beautiful creative hug. The vibe? Absolutely on point. Whether looking for a quiet corner to reflect, chat with friends, or immerse yourself in art, this café has the perfect mood: calm, inspiring, and just artsy enough to make you feel like you're part of a living gallery. Food-wise, there are plenty of choices. I personally went for the Chicken Mami, and wow — it hit the spot! Packed with ingredients, flavorful broth, and served hot, it was the perfect companion for the cloudy, chilly day I visited. It felt like being cared for in a bowl. But what truly sets Art Circle apart is the art itself. The café doubles as an exhibition space, with walls and shelves filled with stunning works from paintings to sculptures and other handmade pieces. Each item seems thoughtfully placed and adds to the café’s soulful charm. Everything feels intentional, expressive, and curated well. If you're in UP Diliman and want a spot that feeds both your hunger and your creativity, Art Circle Café is the place to be. Highly recommended for the vibes, the warmth, the flavors, and the art that speaks without saying a word.
