(SPOT.ph) Rizal is much like Tagaytay in the sense that both places are packed with cafés offering a view. The coffee shops in Tagaytay come with a view of Taal, while in Rizal, it's often a mix of an elevated view of the Metro Manila city skyline or a sea of clouds.
In the unique case of Cafe Grey, the overlooking view is different. Located in Pililla, Rizal, this coffee shop inside a farmhouse has a backdrop of the famous Pililla Windmill Farm.

Check out aesthetic Cafe Grey located near the Pililla Rizal Windmill Farm:
Cafe Grey is within Santi's Farmhouse premises—which is right beside the Pililla Windmill Farm and its viewing deck. The café has this patio vibe where people can take a seat on garden chairs and tables, under the shade of the trees, as they're sipping on the café's bestselling Caramel Macchiato (P140/Hot, P150/Iced).
Opting for a sweet and creamy cup of joe? Cafe Grey options include the Vanilla Latte (P120/Hot, P130/Iced), Café Latte (P115/Hot, P125/Iced), Spanish Latte (P130/Hot, P140/Iced), and Signature Mocha (P140/Hot, P150/Iced). They do have Americano (P100/Hot, P110/Iced) too.
If you're coming to Cafe Grey with a group of people and it just so happens that there's a non-coffee drinker (yes, they exist!) in the group, Cafe Grey does have beverages using matcha, chocolate, and fruits—we're talking berries, green apples, and peaches—plus chewy sinkers.
Cafe Grey's food menu is limited to pastries, namely bagels, croissants, muffins, sandwiches, pizza, garlic bread, and banana bread. For heavier meals in Rizal, but still, with a view, we have a separate list you can check out before heading to Cafe Grey for merienda.
Now that we've given the lowdown on the Cafe Grey menu, here's a short cheat sheet on all the Instagrammable places at the café: There's, of course, the Pililla Windmills, a wooden bench with a heart-shaped frame, the essential, even if a little tacky, "I [heart] Pililla" signage, and the best view of Laguna de Bay.
It's best to visit a few hours before sunset to avoid the scorching heat, but also because the café is a great spot to catch the gradient skies turn from a sky blue, to a deep orange, and then to a starry black sky. This is the best Insta-worthy background for the layered drinks Cafe Grey offers.
Cafe Grey is at Santi's Farmhouse, Windmill Farm, Pililla, Rizal. For more information, check out Cafe Grey's Facebook page.
