Ballast Coffee is a charming spot for a late coffee or remote work. The cafe serves dark roast coffee, but can accommodate special requests. It features multiple spaces for studying or working, including a cozy outdoor area and a quiet study room in the back. The menu offers unique items like ube lattes, barako, and ballast signature drinks, as well as mochi donuts, veggie quiche, and chicken empanada with chimichurri. Despite being busy, the service is quick and attentive. The ube latte is a standout, with rich flavor that pairs well with the coffee, and many consider it the best they’ve tried. The lattes are smooth and not too bitter, with a well-balanced roast. Overall, Ballast Coffee is a cozy local spot perfect for a coffee break or remote work session, with a nice secluded ambience for studying.
