"We visited their kiosk inside Decathlon Filinvest Mall. Think they are one of the few coffee shops that serve Cortado & Gibraltar."

"We only used to go to one coffee place in Alabang (), but we accidentally discovered this gem when it closed early due to heavy rain. One sip and it quickly became a new favorite. The Higher latte and charcoal latte are absolute must-tries! rich, smooth, and soo unique. Their coffee is so good it easily earned a spot in my top 5 cafes, not to mention, the vibe is immaculate! They have WiFi, comfy indoor seating, and the outdoor area offers a cozy, windy spot. It is perfect for working or just relaxing. Plus, tasty pastries and even minimalist tattoos inside the café make it extra unique. Definitely a must-visit in Alabang."

"i love how they have outdoor seat available and we were able to enjoy the view outside. this was my second time eating croissant but its not really my type? the first one i tried, i can really taste the butter and maybe i prefer it that way so their croissant was bit disappointing to me. the drink was good tho. they also offer minimalist tattoo inside for 500 pesos and we ended up getting a tattoo. impulsive decisions it was good tho, it didn't hurt that much. they have designs where you can choose from."

"This place is my favorite go-to spot for a quick break before heading home. I’ve been here more than five times, and I still plan on coming back soon. Their food and drinks (especially the matcha) are always excellent, and the crew’s warm, friendly vibe makes every visit feel welcoming (at this point they know me ). Great drinks, great service, great atmosphere. Highly recommended! some pics for reference: HG matcha, Cookies & Cream frappe, Nachos"
