outstanding coffee and delicious food at this unassuming café; entirely worth the drive.
as said, the espresso is incredible - great menu, great choice of beans, and great extraction of the espresso itself. their iced mocha is a highlight - a smooth, slightly fruity, chocolate-y espresso overtop quality chocolate syrup. my father ordered the vanilla iced latte, which was also delicious.
they had a single chocolate croissant in the baked goods' display, which we ordered. not only is the portion massive, but the entire croissant is stuffed with this airy, smooth chocolate mousse. while some of the crunch and flake of a croissant is lost, I feel that's a small sacrifice for the mousse and chocolate inside.
their sandwiches are lovely - satisfying crunch, served hot off the grill, with melted cheese and flavourful toppings inside. however, one employee makes them in the very back of the shop - completely hidden to those at the entrance or seating area - and they take a little while to make, understandably. be patient if you order one!
the biggest downside is the ambiance. it's housed inside a Filipino market, with no A/C and somewhat intrusive fan noise 24/7. they also only have 4 seats total, which makes sense considering the hidden-ness of the café. personally, I had the noise tuned out once I tried their coffee, but these elements may be a larger sticking...

The service was very friendly, feels like home.
This place is also a storefront for Phillipino products. I will definitely be back to try some snacks or some different...
