Beautiful place. High ceilings, well lit, really nice staff from the guards until the baristas, everyone was just so courteous and accommodating. The library was exactly what you'd expect- quiet, well lit, cozy. Great combination with the coffee they offer if you really like the quiet library vibe. If quiet bothers you though, their outside seating is also quite good- it's elevated from the street so you get a generally safe and relaxing experience. Coffee is not bad at least for the mocha. Not fantastic but not bad. The ambiance and staff definitely makes the trip worth it.
Food is okay/sakto lang Nice ambiance. I tried working here in their library. You have the option to work in their cafe or in the library where you can also dine in. Library has admission of 50.00 php. One major socket is available so I recommend bringing your own extension cord (checked with the staff and it’s okay)
update: went again and to their library area now too! you have to pay a 50pesos fee to use the library area and stay there even if you order something. second floor was closed when i went. turtle latte was good so i ordered it again and i tried their pot pie as well as macaroon. potpie wasnt worth it but macaroon was really good! you gotta tell them you want to stay in the library first so they can take you to the entrance which is a different door. t's called gourmet cafe now but the library is still there. they're open until 8pm on saturdays too but the library closes at 5pm every day. goo…
This is a small cafe at the front end of the library. Library is open until 5pm only, but the cafe is available until 8pm on weekends. I had iced cafe latte and it was strong, and not sweet. Not sure if I can ask for some syrup to adjust the sweetness, I did not bother to at the time. +1000 for the Lemon Crinkles if you are into sweet and sour desserts like me 🤩 The baristas are very polite and welcoming even though we arrived at the cafe an hour before closing time. The al fresco dining looks nice too, I bet its an awesome spot to hang out at sunset time! Parking is available at the fro…
Ordered Long Black Coffee & Lemon Crinkles. Both were good but a bit pricey. Service fee was more than 20% even tho the menu said 10% 🤷♂️ Receipt in the photos The library beside the cafe was alright. Nice & quiet. ₱50 each for library entrance. Overall, it was an okay experience with unexpected fees.
