So far an excellent experience. Had their Capuccino and it's in my top 3 in san-miguel in very close place to being #1. The only thing I saw that made me take a service star away was the lack of hygiene (no washing of hands after emptying garbage). And food wise I only tried their carrot cake (would be better with real cream cheese icing), and their banana bread(not too much banana flavour and also jas either dry raisins or dry cranberries). Not in my taste buds.

MUST TRY!!! I will be dreaming of this amazing place until I return. And it just won't be soon enough. The coffee is EXCEPTIONAL and the setting is perfect. The staff are master baristas and each served cup shows artisanal craftsmanship. I tried the Flat White and Mocha while my daughter had a latte with coconut milk. Each one was one of the best I've ever had. The chair in the window is the best seat. Please enjoy!
