Loved the interiors of the place and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Happy to know that they offer soy milk too! I got a soy milk latte that was prepared well and they didn't rush preparing the coffee. Coffee itself was roasted well and not too acidic. Will go back again when I'm in town.

This place didn't suck. Reasonable quality. Acceptable taste. Coffee taste ok Nice place.read more

Le Cat Coffee Shop is an addition to the new trend which is the cat café. Cat lovers will really…read moreenjoy here because cats freely roam around the café. You can play with them, pet them and even feed them. As of now, they have a total of eight cats with such adorable names which are Apple, Caramel, Barton, Orange, Strawberry, Summer, Peanuts and Cici. The cats are just as adorable as their names and they're very friendly once they warm up to you. Le Cat Coffee Shop has a door price of Php 199 that comes with a hot or iced coffee of your choice or for an additional Php 20 you may have a frappuccino. You may stay and play all you want with the cats for up to two hours only but it's not bitin. Within two hours I already made new feline friends and had so much fun playing with them. Their coffee is actually good too since they use real coffee beans. As of now, they're still on dry run but I have high hopes for them. More cats please!

For me, this is both a magic-inspired place and a magical place. Once I step inside, I am instantly immersed in its spell, with its walls in different pastel shades, paper cutout-like towering trees, colorful chalk art (The art in the long chalk board on the wall changes. On one Christmas we went the art had a Christmas theme), decoupaged tables, and charming collectibles like masks and bright birdcages. And, there's the gift shop with, yes, magic wands ala Harry Potter, tarot cards and other magical items. And, just look at the menu - there's a shake called Love Potion #29, and an onion soup called Gayuma, among other things! My favorites are Wands In A Cauldron (fresh and crunchy fries in a mini-cauldron) and the Harry Potter-inspired Butter Brew, which is sweet with just the right kick. They also have special drinks just for Christmas, and my favorite is the spiked eggnog.

They have a sufficient amount of plugs for your gadgets and free wi-fi - just what you need for your me time or study time. Aside from this, the café also serves great coffee and food. If you're coming with a big group just be sure to patient enough 'cos it may take awhile before they serve your orders. When I first dined here, I wasn't expecting much 'cos I've never heard that much about their food. Surprisingly, I loved their Chicken Teriyaki Rice. It has the right amount of sweetness and there's a generous amount of chicken. It reminds me of the Takaw Rice in Charbroiled. The café is a bit small so I won't recommend it for big groups.

This is for Coffee Project located in Vista Mall. I ordered at 7:22 PM and waited for my Hot Cafe…read moreMocha (which was no longer HOT when served) and my Tuna Melt Sandwich (which was no longer freshly prepared when served) for almost 30 minutes! This is probably the slowest service I've received from a food place whose main product is coffee and sandwich/pastries/cakes. The time I went to this place did not have many customers at all. So I expected a lot about the speedy service given that the place was not jampacked when I ate here. Need I say more that even the queue to order was slow and when I paid with cash, I was even asked if I have Php5 because they don't have enough change! If there is a negative rating for this I will give this place that for those very important elements of providing good customer experience in a food place.

By the name of the café, you may already have an idea that Usagi Café is somewhat Japanese-y. Aside…read morefrom its Japanese vibe, Usagi Café also has a homey feel that will make anyone feel comfortable. They offer Japanese coffee or what is called the Siphon, a must-try here at Usagi Café. For hungry customers, their menu also has a variety of America-Japanese fusion food to choose from. Their food is good enough to satisfy your hunger, plus it's at a very affordable price. The next time you drop by the South try out this hole-in-the-wall café if you want to escape from the ambience of the more popular cafés out there.

Music lovers, coffee lovers, or both will definitely love Penny Lane Coffee in BF Homes. The theme…read moreof this coffee shop is centered on the 60's to 70's music era. As soon as you step inside you'd notice the band posters that adorn the wall. From The Beatles to Nirvana, every music fan will fall in love with this coffee shop. What's more is that the coffee shop is very cozy that you'd enjoy with or without the company of your friends. You can read a book, bond with your friends or just have good coffee. One Friday night, I was very surprised when the baristas behind the counter suddenly took out their instruments and started an acoustic jam for the customers. It was a very nice performance and made my stay even more relaxing. As of now the coffee shop is still on soft opening but I think it will be a bigger hit soon. With such talented baristas, Penny Lane Coffee surely has so much more in store for them.

This is the new kid on the block of the BF coffee scene. While currently still on soft opening, it…read moredoes have much to recommend it, although would-be customers in search of a third-wave artisanal establishment are advised to continue down the road to Magnum Opus instead. Penny Lane is very music-centric, a fact that makes itself known the moment you set foot inside. From the various posters depicting iconic bands and album covers to the counter that has Beatles references placed at irregular intervals, it is easy to deduce that songs have played a big role in this place's conceptualization. Penny Lane, in case you didn't already know, is one of the Beatles' top hits back in the 60's. This coffeeshop is very cozy. If you're looking for a place to whisper sweet nothings or have a quietly intense conversation, the almost-alcove on the left immediately after entering is perfect. Laptop users will be thrilled to know that plugs abound, and you can ask to borrow an extension cord if necessary. The couches are matched with a coffee table (which automatically means that it's low), so a proper table-chair combo might be your thing if you're planning on writing heavily. The outdoor area is small, comprising two little tables with two chairs each. Be advised that there is no lip for the edge facing the parking lot, so be careful or you might tip over (onto a parked car). The staff are cheerful and enthusiastic, the air-conditioning does its job well and the selection of piped-in music is pretty good (you can request songs, actually).

I was in college then and my caffeine consumption was limited to cheap 3-in-1 "coffee"sachets. I didn't know any better, it was all I could afford and drinking it gave me a quick pick-me-upper, until I started working. I realized why good coffee was called good coffee and why bad coffee is merely a by-product of bad sugar and little caffeine. I learned how to be an economical caffeine connoisseur, this is why up to this day you will never find me buying coffee from those big chain cafes. The reason? And probably my greatest caffeine discovery in life: 18 Days Coffee Roaster. I never buy coffee from any other place. To do so, would be blasphemy as my taste buds have been doing the tango to its Special Blend for the past 5 years. I love it so much that I've made it my go-to pasalubong for family and friends that come home to Manila. Their Special Blend is a must-try. A blend of Arabica, robusta and barako, a cup alone is quite spectacular and you'll never want anything else. The price is excellent too, a medium-sized bag costs P275 and it can sustain 1 person for weeks. So, I say ditch those big coffee chain shops and buy local. Buy from 18 Days Coffee Roaster. Oh and the Manang that roasts the coffee herself is quite the charmer too. I recommend that you chat with her every time you visit.
