"It tastes like a slightly burnt coffee like Starbucks coffee. It's a pretty cafe that offers delicious coffee and drinks and has a lot of books. The staff are friendly and helpful. You can also buy used books for 200 PHP per kilo. There are books that can be read by children and adults, and they are neatly stored."

"Beverage was just average - not too great. And at its price point, there are cheaper cafes you can compare that is better. Ate All Meat Pizza during stay, its tasty. Tho price is a bit steep for the size. But the taste is good. As for the service, the staff are approachable. Place is clean. Ambience is peaceful. Place is comfy with the temp. BUT THE MINUS PART is the restroom - lavatory sink is out of order, there is a bidet but no bidet holder, water closet flush is not working. As a commercial place that offers a place to relax and read, having a working CR is absolutely important! Overall, its a good place to read and have a coffee. I purchased a kilo of books worth 200. The food I ate (pizza and black sesame) totals to 405 (I had a company to share pizza cost). The food price point is around 400 even if your solo. I would recommend this but please fix your restroom first."

"Ambiance is perfect, cozy, comfortable and clean. When I went there was some filming going on so there were some awkward moments. But overall place is nice, offers nice collection of books as well. Food and drinks are hit or miss, the pizza has some areas that is very salty. Pasta is cooked well, has nice flavor to it. The drinks, i ordered matcha and it is quite disappointing for its price, matcha is faint and lacks flavor (you may check on the image). Barely taste the matcha but it’s a good thing they offer oat-milk."

"Loved my visit to this cafe bookstore! There’s a huge selection of books, all clearly labeled by genre, like romance, kids, fiction, and more, which makes browsing so easy. The prices are super affordable too. There’s a decent number of seats, so it’s comfortable to sit and read or have a snack. The food was okay, nothing too fancy, but it hit the spot. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and I’d definitely come back!"

"the unavailability of the food we were supposed to order was a bit disappointing. we wanted to get the Caesar salad, beef & shiitake pizza, and crispy potato chips, but were told at the counter that they weren’t available (and it was only a little past 7 PM). So instead, we ordered the Hawaiian & pepperoni pizza along with their mozzarella sticks. the pizza was good — thin crust, crunchy, and flavorful. But the mozzarella sticks were just meh; the cheese inside didn’t seem warmed enough since it wasn’t stretchy. the food is on the pricier side but tastes just average. Their coffee, however, is good. on the bright side, they have a nice ambiance and a wide selection of food. Plus, there are sockets available on both sides of the place — you just need to pick the right seat"

"They need to promote the place especially the layout of the cafe better. Food is expensive. Rice meal is good. Their cinnamon roll is really good in terms of taste and texture, but not their croissant. Coffee is okay. Atmosphere is perfect, except for weak air-conditioning. I would say their book selection is pretty good, as are the condition of most books. They supposedly update their book selection monthly. Definitely coming back."
