I like their strong wifi plus now that we can use 2 gadgets, because before it's one passcode for 1 gadget only. Their drinks are good, I personally like the unicorn tea and the cookies and cream frappe. Service is also good. Staffs are accomodating and friendly plus cr is clean. My only concern is that sometimes, customers come (THESE ARE THOSE ADULTS WHO COME TO JUST DINE AND HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF WORKING, sometimes they are with kids) at night, and they don't seem to be sensitive to students working. They talk and laugh aloud.

I like the idea of a workplace and cafe shop. The place is good in terms of interior design set-up, although some furnitures are not good in anthropometrics. In terms of services, wifi policies is par in terms of speed +40mbps, I don't mind paying 25php in stay per hour if wifi and aircon etc works well. Drinks and food are good in terms of price. Staffs are very polite and kind. I suggest to modify interior set-up that really caters a work area instead of a casual cafe set up. I was very satisfied with my first time here. I recommend everyone to try this in front of USC-TC.

I find it weird to pay how many hours you'll stay beforehand esp when you're going to stay there for a long time... But I like the offer when you buy a drink, you get some hours free

The place has a calming ambiance due to the shades that provides the interior with “blue light” filter or something like that. There are tables that are arranged in a way for introverts like me to face my back to other people dining. Only me and my book, complimented by their coffees, and a piece of doughnut, and some rice bowl meals if I get too hungry. Yup, they do serve a few rice bowl meals. I tried one with two slices of spam paired with some savory fried rice and equally good-tasting sauce. Their doughnuts are not only affordable but also very delectable. Their coffees though, almost as expensive as Starbucks and Bo's, (therefore more expensive than Krispy Kreme's or J.Co's) but man, the quality is just so far-away. It's not that rich, it's not that plenty... but at least they make it up for your free hour of stay with free wifi.

Good music. Very friendly people serving here. Warm ambiance. When I ordered coffee, my change was 80 pesos short. Took me 4 hours to notice. When I told them, they immediately checked the receipts, apologized and gave me the missing change. So friendly people here.
