Wabi Cafe

The Wabi Cafe serves a standard, no-frills menu made up of the classics: Iced Americano, White Mocha, Cappuccino, Flat White, etc. Situated right next to their workshops, customers can observe classes while enjoying their cup of Joe in Wabi Sabi’s signature handmade mugs. Once you’ve had your fill of window-watching, you can enlist in their studio too, and have a go at crafting a quirky cup of your own.

Wabi Café is located at 4/F Hallare Building, 10 E Capitol Drive, Pasig City. For more information, visit Wabi Cafe's Instagram page.

Cafe B.O.M.

If you love taking aesthetic Instagram photos at cafes, this spot takes things up a notch. At Cafe B.O.M., you can get your photos professionally taken inside their studio. All you’ll need is the receipt from your food or drink order and you’ve got a photoshoot to your name. The concept was inspired by Korean studio cafes, and it shows in their beverage menu with drinks like Sweet Potato Latte and Dalgona Latte. They also have a variety of ice-blended drinks, smoothies, teas, and fresh ades to choose from. Should you want a hearty meal before striking a pose, you can accompany your drinks with their selection of pizza, pasta, and sandwiches.

Completing the old-school experience is their collection of CDs and DVDs to choose from. If you want to make it an official viewing party exclusive to you and your company, you can book their theater in advance. Just make sure to call in a few days before to secure your time slot.

WildHeart Flower Shop and Cafe

WildHeart Flower Shop was born out of the pandemic and soon grew into a café housing beverages just as dreamy as their blooms. The establishment itself is a feast for the eyes with vibrant flowers decorating every nook and cranny of their shop. You can even find arrangements dangling from the ceiling! For those getting a bouquet for that special someone, you’re in luck as WildHeart can customize a bunch just for you, if you’re not too keen on their pre-arranged options. The best part is, you can sit back and relax with tea and snacks while waiting for them to fix up your request.

WildHeart Flower Shop and Cafe is at 137 Carnival Park Street, BF Resort Drive Village, Las Piñas City. For more information, visit WildHeart Flower Shop's Instagram page.

Kapinta—Coffee, Tea & Tattoo

One visit to Kapinta Cafe and you’re likely to come out a changed person, quite literally.

You can get a minimum-sized, black-and-white ink for P1500, and a colored one for P2000. Getting a tattoo is a big (and permanent) decision so they’ve got a portfolio of their work ready for browsing online in case you want to see samples first.
