While queued up - #410 - at the nearby BIR office (a.k.a. Where Dreams Come To Die), I decided to step out for a bit for some much needed caffeine and sanity. For a place so tiny, it surprisingly has a lot to offer. From an extensive selection of imported and local beans (Benguet, French Roast, Kalinga, Hazelnut, Sagada and Barako), to the way you want to have them (French press, siphon, or pour over--ranging from Php 65 to Php 120 only), you'll spend quite a while trying to decide. Luckily, it's also a coffee shop where you can't starve in, as they offer pasta, sandwiches, waffles, and crepes. For vegan meal options, get the Green Pesto Pasta sans cheese and chicken (I was really surprised my meal came with 3 chicken cutlets - hmm that wasn't on the dish description). If making your own cup of coffee is serious business for you, they also have some coffee presses, moka pots, and other fancy coffee gadgetry for sale and pre-order. Pythagoras Coffee & Tea is the wisest (Haha - get it?) place I know where you can get a better-than-decent cup of coffee within a 2 to 3 kilometer radius! Also, I should really have asked why the place is named after a philosopher and mathematician. I'm actually Googling it right now: "Did Pythagoras love coffee?" No hits!

I went here with my boyfriend. We did not, however, get coffee or tea. We opted instead for their…read morefish and chips (I think it cost Php 220 or something like that). The cafe doesn't have a separate area for cooking meals, so the place was filled with the smell of frying fish. It didn't make for an unpleasant experience, however (I'm just noting it here for finicky people who don't like smelling their food while it's being prepared). I was pleased with the presentation of the dish, with garnish dotted along the fluted platter the fish and chips were on. A dip was also provided on the side. The serving size for the fish and chips was large enough to keep the two of us satisfied. The staff was also friendly, and the guy at the counter even served the service water that we asked for right to our table. Their drinks are pretty pricey, and so are the dishes, but from my experience, it was worth it. 10/10 would visit again.

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.

Located along the south's foodie nest, BF Paranaque, one may have a hard time spotting this coffee gem. This small quaint shop is located on the second floor of a commercial building complex. The place is a perfect for coffee aficionados, as they'll feel at home with the ambiance and vibe of the place. The guy who owns the place himself is a coffee guru, having bagged a lot of local and international awards with his brewing prowess. My absolute favourites are their cold brew (they are the ones supplying the cold brew at Puzzles BGL) as well as the Belgian heartbreaker. It's comfort in a cup. The cold brew has a fresh, crisp taste with the right amount of caffeine kick that coffee lovers love and the Belgian heartbreak hits the right heartstrings that is sure to make your gloomy day bright as the morning sunshine.

This fairly new business is something that I would like to have one day. Bake & Brew café is a…read moresimple coffee shop that also sells cakes, cookies and cupcakes, as well as a handful of set meals. Their service might seem a bit slow, but then this is no fastfood joint. It's an old-fashioned coffee shop where one can go and savor the coffee and whatever else is ordered slowly. No rush rush. It's been around for about a year, and we decided to give it a try one night when we were on the way home. Since it's just a few blocks from home, we were in no hurry. Although I like to brew my own coffee, I decided to give theirs a try. It wasn't bad at all. I like the all-white inside décor because it looks so clean. There's nothing pretentious about Bake & Brew. It harkens back to a time when coffee shops were places to go to enjoy good coffee in peace. I wasn't too sure if a place like this can survive in our area, but it seems to be doing well. Everytime I pass by there's one or two customers. And having survived their first year should be a good omen for the owners. It's nothing like Starbucks or even the coffee shop from my favourite TV show Friends, and this is a good thing. I should go there more often.

But since it was a hot day and I felt like I needed to take a short break, I decided to drop by Black & White Garden Cafe. This is your typical coffee shop with no pretensions about what it is. You go in and have coffee and any light snack on their menu. Since the place is quite new -- only a few months in operation --the inside is quite clean, thank you. The aircon was also cool, which was great considering that it was one of those days when the temperature was expected to hit 40 degrees. I was the only customer when I came in, but a couple more entered when I was nearly done with my coffee. Since both the Elorde gym and the Black & White Garden Cafe are new businesses, they are still feeling their way. The coffee shop will be dependent on the gym for a good number of its future clients, so I guess there must be some synergistic relationship between the two. There's a security guard house just outside the coffee shop, so that has to add to the security aspect. Not too far off is the latest branch of Starbucks, but I have to surmise that this little coffee shop will not be competing with that giant. For quiet business meetings, Black & White could be a good place as it offers more privacy than Starbucks.

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.

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).
