Walked in last weekend during a crazy downpour, dripping wet, and the barista just smiled, handed me a towel to dry off, and asked what I felt like without any rush. Ended up with their single-origin pour-over--Ethiopian this time--and it was bright, juicy, and perfectly balanced, like every sip reminded me why I fell in love with coffee in the first place. Sat by the window watching the rain hammer Pasong Tamo, worked on my laptop for hours with zero pressure to leave. The space is still that perfect mix of raw concrete and warm light, never too crowded, always calm. Staff remembered my usual order even though it's been months since I last dropped by. Five stars, easily--still one of the most consistently great coffee experiences in Manila.

There is a lot of third wave coffee in Manila. This is a huge win for us coffee lovers, but it also…read moreups the ante for the purveyors of the coffee as well. Fortunately, Habitual Coffee holds its own. Situated on a super industrial part of Pasong Tamo (though gentrification is very real and will probably make its way here very soon), it's kind of out of the way compared to most third wave coffee spots. This is a good thing though! I've never had a problem finding a seat there. The set up is great too. Very industrial. I like the large amount of natural light and sparse feeling of the place. There's a lot of exposed concrete and metal, making the place very Instagram worthy. There are also outlets, wifi, and pretty large tables so getting some work done here is definitely possible. I just wish the seats were more supportive. The coffee is amazing! I believe Yardstick sourced a lot of their coffee while I was there. Their mocha and Americano are great. Not too bitter. The only downside I have is the clientele was a little snooty. The staff, however, was great.

My boyfriend loves black coffee so he ordered the special blend and he loved it so much he drank it so slow! Lol I had the ube cheesecake and he had the blueberry cheesecake ( I couldn't try it because it had nuts ok it ) The ube cheesecake was so delicious. It wasn't too rich, but a balance of creaminess and fluffiness. I wish I tried their other iced specialty drinks but hopefully next time

Probably went here every day that we were in Manila. Great place to chill and people watch, relax, and have great local coffee. Location is nice on Bonifacio High Street, so easy walk from our Shangri La The Fort hotel and elsewhere. Size is of a typical coffee shop with a few tables downstairs but there was a second level as well which I didn't get to check out, there was always space available in our experience and we went at all times of the day, even closing it out at night. Coffee is very good, although all I usually get is a black cold brew or just black local coffee. But the staff is great! Really. Everyone we came across during our visit here was nice, friendly, and patient. The way customer service should be. One night about 10 of us walked in, put a bunch of tables together, made a huge order, and stayed for a couple hours till closing. Staff couldn't have been nicer or more patient. Without skipping a beat they made our order with no problems and were just great about the whole thing. Smiles, the works. Glad this was our go-to.

While strolling the Venice Grand Canal Mall, I was surprised to see a Tim Horton's coffee shop here. I indulged in the biggest size ice coffee which is perfect for the humid weather. Although there are many donut flavors to choose from, I ordered a box of timbits so I can try different flavors. The rest of my group all had different idrinks and bill came out to be about $4.50. Yes, that's how cheap stuff are in the Philippines. Lots of friendly employees ready to help you. I counted a total of nine employees in the counter alone and more in the floor. They are all cheerful and energetic, typical traits of Filipinos in any customer service field. I truly enjoyed my visit here and I wish California will have a branch soon. This visit was truly a surprise birthday treat!

The Japanese pancake may be lacking its heavenly fluffiness, but the it was light and yummy. The only negative part was when they failed to bring my brother's cappuccino despite asking for it twice.

A key to Fundamental Coffee's conception is Andre Chanco of Yard Stick Coffee. He and his partners are bringing back the basics of coffee. A no fuss experience, just coffee. Sounds very familiar... Their interior is like most hip coffee shops, industrial and minimalist with a modern twist, such as the menu on the wall, displayed on a changeable letter signs, and a wall of potted plants, that's actually alive. Mocha Cold Brew (140 PHP) A marriage of chocolate and coffee without the acidic relationship. Cacao leaves and coffee separately steeped for 12 hours each an bounded together to achieve a delicate taste, that's aromatic on the palate. I was expecting a punch of either from the chocolate or coffee, but I was surprised to have a subtle balanced taste of both. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu. Summer Iced Tea (140 PHP) African red tea leaves steeped for over 24 hours. A very fruity tea that's highly refreshing.
