Read And Brew — Restaurant in Baguio

Oh! Five stars! five stars! The loveliest sweetest hidden gem! Perhaps because I was not exactly expecting anything— but o my goodness!

We arrived at the place only to grab a few drinks quickly— my mum and sister ordered their warm cups of coffee— seeing that it was a little café with people frequenting it every hour, my expectations for the quality and quickness— if you will, were just alright... but then they all came at once and the quality was so beautiful I then felt compelled to buy. I ordered the iced horchata; my first time to taste it! and o! it was simply lovely! it was my first time, mind you, so if I give it too high a rating, I beg your pardon.

We hurried down after (we did a takeout order) as we intended to go to the market but seeing that the weather threatened rain— my sisters and I once more tramped up the stairs into the little café— this time to grab a luncheon. If we had brought more money along with us, surely we would have ordered the whole menu. Once again, there barely was any waiting time as we also had the beautiful, gloomy, and cosy ambience (the cathedral steeples, trees, and mountains blending into the distance out the window) and the loveliest vintage books to keep our attention to! I picked out Ivanhoe which I was very willing to pay a million pounds for (it was donated) seeing that it was a beautiful kind of tattered and the specific edition I didn't know existed but now need! If I were not an honest person I would have snuck it home!

Thrn the food arrived— I had sipped the last of my horchata, regretting the fact that I had not saved it for my luncheon. My sister and I split the pesto sandwich and salad! Another thing to recommend! The servings are generous! I was too taken with the ambience that I really wasn't expecting anything better! But taking the first bite of my meal! O! All the food was divine! Or rather, more specifically, the pesto sandwich! How crisp the bread was, and the pesto texture was beyond perfect! Oh! I will never forget this little gem! Ah! And the food was plated so beautifully!

The service was top tier! The kind and lovely ladies were all on foot, attending quickly to all the customers 💞

I would make the long 5 hour journey to this shop every single day if I could!

Please forgive this poorly written review! This place is rather ordinary but I never steer from home, and I have not had the fortune to go to fancier places. I am writing from the very depths of my heart. I do not understand what I have written! and how my phone lags due to the length of this review! That is how much I love the place! And so, au revoir! Please give this little gem a...

As a digital nomad always on the lookout for the perfect spot to work from, I was thrilled to find Read and Brew. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I had discovered a hidden gem. The staff welcomed me with open arms and I felt right at home.

The internet connection was speedy and reliable, and there were plenty of ports to charge my devices, which was a big plus. The best part, though, was probably the coffee. The baristas expertly crafted each cup, and I could tell that they truly cared about the quality of their brew. I can confidently say that it's among the best coffee I've had in a long time!

The food was equally impressive. The menu was creative and had a good variety of options, so I never got bored. Everything was expertly prepared and absolutely delicious.

Lastly, the staff at Read and Brew were so friendly, attentive, and accommodating. They really went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to work comfortably. I highly recommend this place to anyone in search of a great workspace with good food, good coffee, and amazing service. 5...

The first time I came here I ordered a long black and an egg pie. The coffee is Ok, just like Starbucks (which was Ok and overpriced IMHO - there are lots better). The egg pie tastes like it was bought from Goldilocks and then they topped it with whipped cream and jacked up the price - I was here mainly for the Wifi and needed to work on my lappy.

The second time I was here was due to starvation because I didn't have anything due to the Flower Festival that I couldn't leave my place. So, after the parade, the mass exodus was at a complete standstill and that this would be the nearest feasible food source available which is empty. So I ordered Hungarian sausage.

You can't go wrong with rice, garlic and eggs, but the Hungarian sausage? It tastes like those cheap P30 ones you can buy at a sidewalk hawker. It's flavorless, and the texture is obvious of extenders. For the steep price you pay, one would expect an all meat full flavored sausage - NO. Just buy Swift Premium Hungarian and it's many times better than this junk.

This coffee shop will never...
