LOOK: Corner Tree Café Is Opening Their New Home in Poblacion, Makati
After closing last year, the O.G. vegetarian spot picks up where they left off in a new address.
(SPOT.ph) A Jupiter street O.G. that first opened in 2009, Corner Tree Café's been a favorite among both vegetarians and omnivores looking for a zen space to chill—and satisfying veggie plates to go with it. Unsurprisingly, their closure in 2024 left a gaping hole in our hearts, but they did hint that they might come back at some point, and it seems that day has come. Corner Tree Café is reopening for dine-in in Makati this week, albeit in a different location (still near the original!) in Poblacion.

Corner Tree Café is reopening in Makati
The fan-favorite vegan and vegetarian restaurant made the announcement through a Facebook post earlier today, May 11, where they write: "Corner Tree Café will finally open its Makati branch (sorry it took so long! Permits...), but we will finally open our door to the public." The new Corner Tree will be on soft opening (do manage those expectations, Spotters) on Wednesday, May 14, on the second floor of 5782 Felipe Street, Poblacion, Makati.
Their new location is right above El Chupacabra on that street; it used to be their commissary but they moved one floor up, owner Chiqui Mabanta tells SPOT.ph. "[There's] no more tree at the corner, and [it's] not a dainty cottage anymore. But [we're] still going for the cozy vibe in this grittier location," Corner Tree Café writes on Facebook.
It's suggested that you make a reservation—give them a ring at 0906-558-6177 to save your table(s)—but walk-ins are welcome as well. "We look forward to seeing you all again! It's been a long break."
Corner Tree Café debuted in a cozy part of Jupiter street, Makati in 2009. After 15 years of serving hearty vegan and vegetarian fare, they closed their original store in July of 2024, saying: It has been our honor and joy to serve you for the last 15 years... If we do reopen, you'll find us."
Corner Tree Café will be at 2/F 5782 Felipe Street, Poblacion, Makati City. For more information, check out Corner Tree Café's Facebook page.
