People around Metro Manila are drawn to coffee shops like flies to manure. That said, most of them are s#!t. Sad to admit but true. That's because most of them try to be something that they're not, which is of course Starbucks.
Few cafes out there establish their own identity. Few cafes in Metro Manila can stand out from the competition without emulating Starbucks. Cafe UK is a part of the few.
A local favorite among the people in P. Noval, Cafe UK never fails to draw a crowd each day. A crowd mostly made up of students.
The students love it here. Great ambiance, good food and coffee, nice staff and free Wi-Fi are just a few of the reasons why this place has become a regular on many people's place to chill.
I'm pretty sure the guy who owns this place knows his target market. I mean, the way this place feels and how it's setup is just so right for students. It's tailor made to appeal to that kind of demographic.
The branch here in P. Noval looks a bit tight and cramped. What it lacks in floor area it makes up for with the number of floors. In a way though, I actually liked the cramped space of this cafe. It forces people to be close and conversations are more likely to be intimate and engaging that way.
Cafe UK is sweet. It draws students are drawn to it like flies are to honey.
A warning though, be sure to bring a jacket. The place can get really cold especially at night. read more
