About this spot
Binondo's favorite third-wave cafe, a few steps from the Ongpin-Salazar corner and right across Masuki. The interior feels like an old Hong Kong or Taipei cafe, with vintage tiles and framed photos of old Binondo. Drinks lean into Chinatown flavors: the Binondo Latte with sticky ube and tikoy, Black Sesame Latte, Peanut Cake Latte, and the crowd-favorite Sea Salt Latte. Tiramisu and cheese tarts are the bestsellers. Open late with WiFi and outlets, kaya perfect pahinga stop after a food crawl.
