Great place to work because itâs peaceful. Employees are the best and very welcoming of their customers. This cafe is my go to cafe when I need to work
Nice drinks, and a nice place to work!
Food's good, the coffee is okay. Nice place to hangout and work too.
We got Spanish latte, French vanilla latte, slow cooked pulled pork, honey garlic chicken, and (not pictured) homemade cola, and a bittersweet cookie. In total we spent close to â±2,000 for the both of us.
The drinks cost close to â±200 each, and the food items a little over â±300 each.
The space is nice and bright , and there are wall sockets around the cafe. A lot of other people are working on their laptops, so Iâd say itâs a good space to work.
Thereâs a service charge of 10%, and the servers really pay attention to you. They brought out our orders and would clean up plates and utensils as we ate since they saw that we needed the table space for our laptops.
The homemade cola was bomb, and so was the French vanilla latte, although the Spanish latte wasnât so good. The food was also really good, and I would recommend the rice bowls.
Nice good although a bit expensive. Very good to work with the wifi although it works much better in the black of the café.
Nice and quiet ambience. Nice coffee and food. Reasonable price. wifi signal could more stable as it was not stable.
I like that they have good list of food and drinks. You can choose from finger food, pastries, rice meals, waffles, to pasta and sandwiches ( with side salads); from tea to coffee. There are outlets available for those who need to work or charge their gadgets. wifi isn't very reliable ( unavailable for my last two visits that were months apart) even though the staff guaranteed that they have wifi - just not working.
Overpriced food. Bad wifi, always keeps being restarted from the router.
Edit for owner's reply:
I ordered the Mac and Cheese that was full portion which was 400pesos worth, the half portion was 290pesos (if I remembered correctly). For me it was remarkable in taste but disappointing in portion given the price.
The drinks were great. We ordered iced tea and spanish latte.
Perfect place for a quick bite and some work
Good coffee. Conducive for working. Many sockets available. With wifi but can drop off every now and then.
Discovering my go-to cafe for those productive work sessions! âïžâš
This cafe has such a spacious and peaceful vibe. With plenty of sockets available, itâs very convenient for anyone who needs to plug in and get things done.
I was in the mood for something refreshing and asked the staff for a recommendation. The owner went the extra mile and crafted a drink that wasnât even on the menu.
They also serve amazing food. This time, I tried their Honey Garlic Fried Chickenâa Chicken Thigh Fillet served with sautĂ©ed veggies and rice. It was good and had a generous serving.

Happy and satisfied with my orders, coffee and pasta. I like the ambiance of the store, relaxing and calm. Pwede tamambay kapag wfh working setup. âșïžâ€ïž
My favorite cafĂ©. Super attentive and kind staff, nice ambience and every table has a wall outlet if you want to stay and work. Food is also delicious đ perfect for me
Has good wifi and several power sockets! Good for remote workers.
Good coffee and ambience! Spanish Latte was great. Staff was also pleasant to deal with. wifi was choppy and can be improved.
I asked for the wifi they said they do have but lo and behold its not working. Staff seemed busy chatting with each other before taking my order. The horchata was good. Service can be improved.
Ordered the Big Breakfast which was abit pricey considering the portion but it was fairly good.
Issue was the staff got quite noisy at some point. The wifi wasn't as good as I heard it would be and the staff reset it without notifying the customers, after which I could no longer connect to it. I decided to just cut my losses with all the disturbance.

We brought our laptops to work here during lunch and the employees were very nice and even gave us extra table.
We had fun, the food and coffee were delicious-- would definitely consider going here again! âșïž
The food is reasonably priced and served in generous portions. The cafe has a stable wifi connection and electric sockets to charge electronics. The table could be a bit bigger to accommodate laptops and meals at the same time.
First of all I don't really drink coffee so my review is more for the cafe as a working area.
I do recommend working here if you want some peace and a quiet environment. They have a lot of outlets available if you wanna plug your laptop or gadgets.
Service is good also tho they have a very bad wifi, I cant even connect to it. Good thing I have my own data.
I forgot what I ordered! hahahaha and I cant really tell whats a great coffee.
Verdict: Will definitely come back to work or maybe dine here.
