Why Not Coffee Bataan — Restaurant in Abucay

Went there on a not so busy Sunday night. There were only eight customers inside the coffee shop, including my wife and I. Apparently, that was still not enough to experience a satisfactory service from the staff working that night. The table we sat on still had some water drops and leftover crumbs on it. Music was a bit loud for the small number of people eating inside. About ten minutes in, we received our shrimp appetizer. The staff just brought it down to our table, recited the name of the food and just walked away without asking if we needed something, maybe a plate or cutleries? We had to wave to them just to get their attention and ask for the basics. I guess they were busy singing along to the loud music to even ask what we need. Five more minutes and they gave me the wrong order. I ordered the truffle burger but they gave me the truffle pasta instead. I had to wait for another fifteen minutes just to receive what I already paid for. My wife was almost finished with her classic waffle by the time my food arrived. And the truffle burger? It would have been acceptable if they just called it classic burger, without the pricy price tag. I kept searching for any hint of truffle but I did not taste anything like truffle. At least the patty was thick and juicy. Maybe the truffle was lost in the burnt meat of the patty. I have no clue. And all we got was an insincere, barely audible apology for the mixed up order. I do not post review of any restaurant or cafe we go to but the experience we got from here left me no choice but to make one. There were ample amount of parking spaces. At least that would not...

As soon as you step inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling pork chops greets you, setting the stage for a culinary adventure unlike any other.

Food & Drinks: 4.5/5 - Had the clubhouse sandwich, calamari, gamberetti, ube waffle + chicken, truffle burger, biscoff latte, oreo latte, sunrise, and sea salt latte. Was really happy with the portions and quality of food! Only note is that we found the gamberetti a bit salty. Everything else was great and reasonably priced.

Service: 2.5/5 - Seemed like they were understaffed or having trouble serving our big group because it took them a while to get any of our requests. Food took around 40 minutes to arrive. Drinks arrived last after we had finished most of our food. Had to ask for utensils because food was served without them. Wasn’t so sure if their setup was self-service or if we were supposed to be served at the table, because we couldn’t get their attention.

Ambiance: 4/5 - Cute place with different kinds of seating and some natural light. Can imagine it would be nice place for studying or working. Restroom was leaking and...
