“We tried the panna cotta and the horchata. Both were decent, though a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, it’s a pleasant place to sit and linger, especially if you’re already nearby.”

“The food was so-so even though it was expensive when compared to other coffee brands. If you want to stay to work or study, just note that that they do not have wi-fi. They also have service fee if you ordered dine-in, so it is best to take-out and sit outside to avoid that additional fee.”

The carrot cake was actually quite good and moist! However, I personally prefer a "semi-naked" style with bare frosting. For my taste, the frosting-to-cake ratio was a bit overpowering, which made it feel a little too rich (nakakaumay) after a few bites. ​The Grilled Cheese Panuozzo Pizzetta was great—definitely best eaten as soon as it’s served! ​As for the drinks, both the Mango Cooler and the Fresh Lemonade were good. I especially liked that the mango was on the less sweet side; it really suited my preference. ​The Pork Sisig was also a hit. It’s not the sizzling, crispy type; it’s on the creamier side (likely from the liver paste), which was really delicious. ​Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner. It was a great way to celebrate my small milestones on my rest day. 🫶🏻 ​P.S. It’s a shame the Truffle Fries weren't available! My brother really wanted me to try them. 🥹

My experience at this café was extremely pleasant. I tried their brown sugar oat latte and their butter chicken curry, and they all tasted great to me. I liked how the coffee beans perfectly blended well with oat milk and honey. But the star of this experience was the butter chicken curry. Even though their pork sisig was their best-seller, I wanted to try something else and this dish caught my eye. I wasn’t disappointed with the food. It was sour, minty, and a bit spicy. The chicken was cooked perfectly—tender and juicy on the inside, and the outside was seared perfectly, which made the chicken skin crispy. I love the ambiance and the mellow music being played. It was such a cozy experience for me.

We arrived at around 8:00 AM and noticed a staff member inside preparing to open the shop. I stood outside the glass door, smiled, and waved politely to ask what time they would open. When the staff approached the door, instead of greeting or verbally informing us, he sarcastically pointed to the opening-hours sticker indicating that the café opens at 9:00 AM. There was no “hello” or acknowledgment, which felt a bit disappointing. A simple greeting or a polite explanation would have gone a long way in making guests feel welcome. Since we had no other place to go, we decided to wait until the café opened. Once inside, the same staff member was already pleasant, helpful, and accommodating, which we appreciated. Another thing we noticed was that there was dog waste outside the entrance when we arrived. Unfortunately, it was still there when we left around 11:00 AM. Keeping the entrance clean would greatly improve the overall first impression of the café. As for the food and drinks, the

October 2025 Cafe with a bistro menu that began as a ceramic studio. Nestled within this small AFP village is a place that surprises. Very high-end cafe connected to a stone structured church like fine dining 🍽 restaurant (though was informed that they do not have the same owners). The cafe offers limited menus with pour over coffee ☕️ whenever available. Menu is well crafted but on the very pricey side. The price definitely is partly due to the location and the place. The service staff is very minimal given the scale of the place but have been trained. The place is a mix of steel, glass, and concrete with wooden accents. Feels like a studio set in Tagaytay or outside Metropolitan Manila. Place is often a venue for art fairs and private events. There is a loft area as well as a closed lawn for special reservations and use. Part of the seclusion of the place is that it is inside a private subdivision. Outsiders will need to enter via Gate 6 at the Lawton side.

I visited this cafe on a slow afternoon hoping for a quiet break, and while the food and service exceeded expectations, the overall atmosphere left something to be desired. We ordered the peach prosciutto pizza—an unexpectedly great pairing that delivered a nice balance of savory and sweet. The udon carbonara was a surprise, but a welcome one; playful and rich, with a fun twist on the classic. The ube espresso was refreshing and unique, while the Mont Blanc (cold brew, milk, and orange zest) was a standout—bright, smooth, and memorable. The servers were excellent: warm, attentive, and professional across the board. However, the ambiance was disrupted by something I hope management addresses. The manager (i assume), though clearly passionate, moved through the space quite loudly and often, and some of the dogs inside the café barked multiple times during our stay. It felt inconsiderate to those of us there to unwind or have a conversation. A little more spatial and noise awareness wo
