Cafe Naci is now back in Greenhills!
From Connecticut Greenhills to 7th Ave Bonifacio Global City and now back to where they call home, the same street and same spot where I discovered them. Parallel to home, Naci continues to put emphasis on what they do best. Comfort food for Naci have been traced back to owner Nadine Nocom’s family. The heart for good food is a natural characteristic of Nadine and her family. Their ideas to give more color and flavor to food have turned to reality in the kitchen of Cafe Naci.
First time at their newly renovated Greenhills branch, I felt a little saddened seeing a smaller space compared to their previous branches in Fort and Greenhills. The first Greenhills branch was also located at the same spot but this time, Naci was only given about half of its original size without the balcony where you can hang at night. Nevertheless, I was still looking forward to what the kitchen had in store for us.
The Food:
Cajun Mozzarella Balls (Php 220) Rate: 4/5 |
Not a new item on the menu but my first time to give it a shot. A single ball of Cajun Mozzarella gave comfort in a snap. I adored its gooey cheese partnered with fresh tomato salsa and hot potato wedges on the side.
Monte Cristo Sandwich (Php 300) Rate: 4/5 |
Pan grilled French toast filled with pork ham, chicken, melted cheese, bacon and egg served with Cajun fries.
What a winning piece of sandwich right? At ease in every bite, Monte Cristo sandwich trapped me that I couldn’t take my hands off.

Monte Cristo for breakfast or merienda, I don’t mind having this sandwich in my snack bag. But for dinner, I think I’ll pause and go for more than this. Hehe.
Bacon Liempo (Php 250) Rate: 4/5 |
I know you don’t want to miss out taking a photo of this crispy Bacon Liempo. Snap and shot immediately for a fresher and crispier bacon bite. This new star of Cafe Naci is an all-day breakfast that has been getting everyone’s attention from the time they moved back to Greenhills. Bacon-sliced liempo has that thin texture, suitable as you eat with garlic fried rice and sunny side up or scrambled egg.
The family of Nadine continues to innovate comfort food by not settling to what they have now. Through continuous conversations about food, Nadine’s dad suggested Cake Smoothies to be served at the restaurant.
Basically, the idea is to use any cake and convert to a smoothie.
O and I were intrigued with this Cake Smoothie idea. It sounded odd at first but I think we’ll both regret not to try them.
Bread Pudding Smoothie Rate: 5/5 |
Cafe Naci suggested their best-selling Bread Pudding Smoothie. The wonders of how it tasted turned to be a wonderful episode in our Cafe Naci visit. Traditional smoothies are out of date at Cafe Naci. As a customer, I will never forget the restaurant that surprises me and gives my food a new twist. Bread Pudding Smoothie hit me at the right sweet spot.
Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie (Php 160) Rate: 4/5 |
O, the cheesecake lover, was skeptic about the Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothie. Like me, the gradual shift from a poker face to a big smile happened as he tried his cake smoothie. We both finished our cake smoothie before sweeping what’s on our plates.
The Ambiance:
Cafe Naci maintained the hues of orange and yellow through their lights and interiors. The smaller room of tables and chairs might be an adjustment for their customers. But for Naci, what’s important is to continue the tradition of serving comfort through their food.
Cakes on the go or cakes for dine in. Cafe Naci caters their own desserts fresh from the kitchen upstairs.
The beautiful Nadine Nocom accompanied O and I as we filled our afternoon with smacking Cafe Naci food.
Get out of your comfortable bed and take a trip to try Cafe Naci’s comfort food!
Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, they’ve got it covered for you!
