My fiance and I went to this place yesterday for a late lunch. Our food was amazing and the lady working behind the counter was extremely friendly and welcoming. We had the BLT bagel and beef wrap. They were really high quality and delicious, we couldn't believe the price point. Thanks for the pleasant visit!

It’s one of the best cafés we’ve ever visited—quaint, welcoming, and offering excellent service. The food is freshly made to order, always delicious, and consistently impressive. The friendly atmosphere keeps us coming back, and Teofila is truly a wonderful person who makes the experience even more special. Trish and Colin

Whatever they serve they prepare diligently with care. Staff is very courteous, smiling and friendly, one will be motivated to come back just to interact with them. Food is fresh and coffee is great. We had a Spinach Cheese sandwich which was yummy.

Really great casual eating spot conveniently located inside a medical centre. I had the thought that a coffee shop would make a killing in this building and this cafe did not disappoint. Options for a quick grab and go breakfast or, lots of seating if you want to hang out and take your time. I ordered the tapsilog and it was super tasty. I'll definitely be coming here again

Stopped here by chance after my Dr's appt and bloodwork. I hardly ever do bc I've found previous cafes overpriced for regular food. But this one surprised me when I saw "filipino breakfast" Their longsilog didn't disappoint. Was actually better than those I've tried before. The garlic rice was sooo garlicky and so good. The server also came with a bottle of vinegar and a spoon. (Ay, salamat.) The service was great. The atmosphere was bright and quiet since most customers take their food to go. I'm glad I decided to stop in. It'll be another reason to make sure I keep my Dr's appts.
