Description
Tucked into Midtown, this bright and spacious spot pairs its globally sourced coffee and tea with a menu of fresh, made-to-order Filipino and Asian dishes. Because the kitchen prepares hot items from scratch, plates like the lumpia, ramen, and vinegar-forward adobo arrive steaming hot, though they may require a brief wait. Breakfast highlights include hearty bowls of corned beef over crispy garlic fried rice topped with a fried egg. For drinks and sweets, the signature ube coconut latte offers a subtle, roasted flavor that complements the crispy, sweet banana turon. Equipped with Wi-Fi and customer restrooms, the cafe offers a comfortable, clean environment to study, work, or enjoy a slow, comforting meal.
