xception

Got their iced cappuccino right when they opened. Interior was fabulous - some clothes for sale on the upper level and some artwork on the first. A great space to do some work or even just chill out on a sunny morning (which I did).

Front door was not in good order. No airconditioning. They had one of those big, noisy aircoolers that blows strong moist air. As I went down the coffee bar area, the barista immediately told me they had no takeout cups. I said that I was fine with it. However, he kept repeating as if warding me away. I ordered a flat white anyway, hoping to get decent coffee. Sadly, the coffee was bad. Instead of a flat white, what I got was an ugly and poorly made cappuccino with overly heated milk that took ages to cool down to a palatable temperature. For Php190, definitely not worth it. The aesthetic of the place was nice, so props to the owner for that.

The place and ambiance was great 👍 but my photos do not show the exact ambiance because my photos were during an event.

Not a fan of their cappuccino. Place was huge. Pang estetik kids hehe

This place is a gem. It's a coffee shop and lifestyle store in ine, and it does both really well. The coffee was great and the ambience of the place is immaculate, I was the only customer when I arrived and I toured the fashion and furniture displays inside their store, and was assisted by a very friendly sales attendant. Their fashion showcase on the second floor feature staple Noble House brands like Marcelo Burlon, Aigle, and Opening Ceremony (it's a shame they don't sell Kenzo items here). At the ground/lower level of the store, very stylish furniture and art pieces are in show (and my, most items are expensive despite the store's 50% off everything promotion, including a ~paper~ vase for 1000 pesos after the discount). You must try their freshly brewed coffee and browse the store items while you're there! They also have a dedicated meeting space, which is perfect given the peace and quiet inside their store.
