“ Okay for studying. Well lit space. Tables and chairs of adequate height. They had electrical outlets for some tables. Al fresco dining was also available. Staff were kind. Free water refills. ”
“ Newly opened coffee shop. It’s clean and comfortable with plenty of seating. I love that they have an al fresco area. Their coffee tastes great too! I also appreciate that they offer self-service water refills. One thing to note is that it’s super cold inside ”
“ Great coffee shop with good coffee and pastries. Nice ambiance, and background music is not too loud. They don’t have an espresso machine, all of their coffees are made on draft. I got the Coconut Dream (with reduced coconut cream for less sweetness), it was really good! Also got their ham & cheese croissant, probably the best i’ve had in manila. The croissant itself was very fluffy and buttery and the you could tell the ham they used was quality. They have one table that is in a glass room if you want to hold a meeting with some privacy. They have a bunch of outlets for those who have their laptops with them. There are 2 outdoor tables. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. Great to see a good coffee shop in GH mall. ”
“ A clean and comfortable cafe worth excellent service. Their coffee, however, was just ok, a bit watery and bland. Try it yourself and make your mind up. ”
“ Visited this place on a random day, there were a very few people by that time so it was a plus points for me, personally. I saw some individuals there working and studying so it's student/worker-friendly since they also have sockets in there. Their matcha latte is okay! I like the color--vibrant and green, but it was too milky for me. My companion had something different from the menu. I think it's a fusion of coffee and juice (I can't remember the name), but it was really good and refreshing! Their chocolate cake is also a must-try; rich and creamy. ”

“ The place is nice. The food and drinks are good. They might accidentally punch in the wrong size when you order... But they'll intentionally misspell your name, just like Starbucks. This place is great for hanging out with friends, for meetings, for having some alone time, or for having a bite before going elsewhere. ”
