10 Must-Try Coffee Shops Around the Metro

10 Must-Try Coffee Shops Around the Metro

coffee-shops-around-manila

Coffee is one of things that complete my day. It makes me happy whenever I drink one. Since I started working, I learned to drink coffee most of the time. It is one way for me to de-stress, and it will be such a relief if I have a cup of coffee before starting my day or after having a tiring day at work.

As one who loves coffee very much, a cup of it in a day is not enough. There are times when I find myself asking for more, but I couldn’t. And. It. Is. So. Frustrating. I know that too much caffeine is bad for our health, still I couldn’t help it. The fact that I can’t resist the urge of wanting more coffee, I do think I am addicted to it. So yes, I am one with the caffeine addicts out there! However, I am limiting myself to one cup a day since I palpitate when I exceed my limit. It’s really sad when you want more coffee, but you can’t have more. (Ahhhhh)

For those who love coffee as much as I do, I am glad to share these 10 must-try coffee shops around the metro. If ever you find yourself near these places, try to visit them. They are not only a perfect place for great coffees, but also for experiencing a soothing ambiance.

Don’t just stick to mainstream coffee shops you’re used to. It’s time for you to explore and taste other exciting coffees too. Check out the following cafés now!

Magnum Opus Fine Coffees

Magnum Opus Fine Coffees offers coffees in a more personal way. Mr. Jonathan Choi, the owner, also serves as the artisan barista in his coffee shop. He personally prepares your order which makes it more special. Not only do they serve fine coffees, they have sandwiches and other food to offer, too. It may be quite pricey for some, but it’s worth it. Our club, Coffee Club, had fun trying out the artisan coffee in the South.

Cafe de Seoul

It is a perfect place to study and to catch up with friends. There are a lot of coffee flavors to choose from and they really do have a nice interior. You will definitely enjoy sipping your coffee and eating a piece of cake on the side.

I call this coffee shop as my happy place. Since it’s near where I live, it is very accessible for me. Though I haven’t been here for quite awhile now, still it’s the best place for “alone time”. Whenever you feel like having time just for yourself, you can come here and have your coffee paired with a piece of red velvet cupcake or a plate of fresh salad.

2/F, 390 Mayon St., Sta. Mesa Heights, Quezon City

Cafe Noriter

Nothing compares to a place where you cannot just simply sit and relax, but can actually lie down while reading a book or reviewing for your subjects. Cafe Noriter is a playful coffee shop where most college students prefer to study and do some school stuff. You can also write stuff on their wood decks and have a great time munching on your cake and drinking your favorite coffee.

Rich and smooth coffee is what Kaffe Caffe offers to you. It has a homey vibe where you can loosen up with friends or loved ones.

Green Halo Organic Store and Café

If you are the health conscious type of person, Green Halo Organic Store and Café is the best place for binge eating and drinking. At this coffee shop, they don’t just serve you with creative and organic food, they also offer an artistic place. Though it has a small space, you can still enjoy spending time at this place.

Shop 11 Cubao Expo Commercial Center, Romulo St., Araneta Center, Cubao, Quezon City

Honestly, I’d stop drinking coffee, but I’m no quitter. I may miss out on a lot of other coffee shops around the metro, but these are the best ones for me so far. Though I can actually live with just 3-in-1 instant coffee every day, crafted coffee offers more refined and scrumptious taste. Plus, the wonderful place adds up to the whole package of relaxation and peace of mind.

    Manger Cafe at G/F Acrocity Bldg, 1116 Antipolo St., Poblacion, Makati. It's more than a coffee shop. They offer premium coffee and coffee based drinks, they make their own breads, they bake their own cakes and they make their own premium sausages. You should try sun-dried pesto pasta topped with kielbasa sausage and other premium sausages. Check their facebook page to know more.
