Awesome place to chill and have coffee! Ube and Pandan lattes are an awesome touch. Food was awesome and cheap too. Our fave was the tofu sisig bowl!

This place is amazing! Hands down one of the best coffee shops in the area. Recommend trying Ube and Pandan latte plus their breakfast bowls/sandwiches.

Love the drinks and Lumpia. I’m really sad they changed the pork bowl, use to be one of my favorites and the reason I came here.

Trying to offer some constructive criticism here: a silent cafe with no art or music is very awkward, especially when you have to wait 25 minutes for a simple breakfast and coffee order. It would help if the barista made eye contact, was remotely friendly, and took names for orders so she could call out when they’re ready, instead of having to step away from her espresso making to bring orders down the stairs and awkwardly hand them to people. The food was good (although very meat heavy menu for breakfast) but the whole experience was something I’ll not be back for. Room for some improvement…

The Longanisa rice bowl was ok. The rice was very tough. It seemed like it wasn’t cooked enough or it was reused from previous days. The Longanisa and the eggs were good.

Great atmosphere. The chicken adobo bowl was yummy and surprisingly filling given the portion. Iced ube latte was tasty without it being too sweet. I also got the spam bfast wrap and the ube tiramisu. Both yummy. Great cozy atmosphere and good service. Not too pricey.

I ordered the sausage over rice as well as the hamburger over rice. Everything was delicious and the rice was seasoned well. Our matcha latte with obe sauce was super yummy!

Coffee tasted a bit burnt and there were a lot of flies in the place. The plants all looked dead too

I stopped in to try a Ube chai tea, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the spam slider and the longaniza slider. Both of them were delicious. Service was quick. I will definitely be back to try a breakfast bowl, the poutine, and the lumpia.

When I first walked in, I was surprised by how good the place smells - just wonderful and pleasant - simply makes me happy. Online ordering was efficient and food prep/service was accurate and fast. Of course, the meal was delicious (reasonable portion).

Cute modern cafe with plants and an appealing atmosphere. We had the Filipino breakfast and an Ube latte. Both were fantastic and at a relatively reasonable price given the area. Staff was friendly and efficient. Try the longaniza and ube latte, you won't be disapointed!

Lovely staff to start , the place is small luckily we were first comers that day. We had their coffee which was amazing! I love sweet coffee so if you enjoy sweet coffee then you will like this one. Also the Ube tiramisu is delicious. Breakfast Sandwiches were small in size so make sure to order more than one, the breakfast bowl was lovely and tasteful. overall lovely visit I would come there again

Ordered the pandan pistachio latte and the Ube latte.

The pandan was good and the pistachio milk complemented the pandan flavor.

The ube latte was barely distinguishable because the espresso overpowered the ube flavor.

They will need to add more of their extracts in the coffee, or infuse the ube halaya in the milk to come through.

Otherwise the barista pulled 2 amazing shots that woke me up all day. It felt like drinking crack
