Our Top Picks for Great Coffee Shop Concepts in Manila

I can't forget how this blog started.

Together with sharing simple home-cooked dishes and my love for baking, are our coffee shop dates. From my husband's promise of trying out every food establishments in Mall of Asia, so I can blog about them, to scouting Manila's off beaten paths just to check out certain cafes, that's how I came about.  But guess what, his promises didn't really materialized as I've expected it to be.


Nope!  I didn't get to blog about all the resto and cafes in the said mall. But we did tried, probably 60% of them.  However, only a fraction of that was featured.

How I wish I had more than one set of hands (to type all the reviews), more brains to shed beautiful words, a team that could capture all of those moments in camera and a lifetime more to share them all to you.

I'm just a one woman team, like any mommy bloggers are!  Oh, my husband doubles as a cameraman and the driver, of of course, the financer...

However, beyond my busy-ness, I curated for ye'all a couple of my favorite coffee shops, some might be unheard of, but definitely worth-checking out for.  The list, is just a list, without even thinking of ranking them.

5.  Toby's Estate




Toby's Estate still captures my heart every time we go to Century City mall, where it's first branch was established.  It's an Australian brand that brews a unique coffee blend that's endemic to the said country.
