Still consistently has some of the most exceptional coffee I've tried in Metro Manila, now with a bigger location at the Greenhills area.
The coffee is good but my god, every time I come here it takes 15 minutes or more for a single coffee. Today was the worst. There was only one barista and the boss was behind the bar but instead of him helping and making sure his customers get their drinks in a timely manner, he was just yapping and yapping away, flexing his business and trying to impress people. What a joke. They also didn’t have change for my payment. Isn’t it the shops responsibility to have change for their business?
Still on soft opening. Needs more staff and improvement on making their coffee. They will open a speak easy bar inside soon.
I used to frequent their Makati branch before it closed. I heard that the management is different, I just didnt think that the quality would be wayyy different too. I went here for breakfast. The Academics Breakfast was unavailable so I ordered the Bacon Bowl. Literally Bacsilog for P480. It was so mid, my 10 yr old niece could make a better meal. I know breakfast is hard to rate in restaurants because essentially it is food that is easy to prepare and not much fanfare. But to be able to stand out, I think breakfast outside your home should have a come on. I mean, what’s the point of eating …
Great coffee, as is only to be expected! Also had the cream of brocoli soup and Gambas. Both dishes well made and just right for a light brunch!
