Lots of seating area and outlets. If you are planning to study here, be wary as crowd can sometimes be loud as the cafe also serves alcohol so it has that kind of vibe and atmosphere to it. The coffees tastes amazing. It was strong but not bitter. I had the rose latte which was very accurate. The fruit shakes also taste fresh and not too sweet. We also had the truffle caramel popcorn, the flavors work well together I just wished the glaze was spread more evenly. Bonus, theres cats :)

The atmosphere isn’t really ideal for studying, they show popular movies, kind of like a cinema in a mall. I was expecting more of a Filipino indie film vibe, but nonetheless, the place is still great. The coffee tastes similar to most other coffee shops, but I think the real highlight of their menu is the food. They also have two cats inside, which I find really cute. There are outdoor tables on the veranda, and they serve alcohol as well. Just a heads-up, it can get a bit loud here due to the crowd.

The food and drinks here are very good. The place is nice and it’s even nicer at night. My favorites are their Spanish latte and their yema ube cake.

Been here twice to spend time with family and friends for coffee. I love the cafe because it can be quiet. It’s also very tita-friendly which is a big plus. Restrooms have bidets, too! This is one of the few cafes in QC that offer almond milk, which I appreciate. Would love it if they offered more vegan food options, especially for their rice meals.

ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE CAFES in Quezon City. It brings Films and Food to a whole other level. The cafe is chill, I'd say a perfect date spot if you want something quiet and intimate. They offer a perfect environment for couples to sit down and decompress, and also a private cinema where a small group of people can watch films available on their set list. They got multiple food options, from snacks to even fine dine. I couldn't buy any of the frappes or juices as I'm on a diet but majority of the orders I've seen have looked appealing. I'll go back and probably order myself a strawberry slush when my calories aren't that strict There's films you can watch,and I plan to go back here with my Girlfriend to watch Malvar next month!
