Inarawan Coffee - Marikina — Restaurant in Marikina

During my first time in a café, I gauge the coffee based on the basic brewed coffee, or if available, the espesso.

Unfortunately, the coffee was burnt and bitter and I couldn't finish my drink. It was served too hot and scalding.

This is the kind of coffee that's not meant to be enjoyed on its own, but is either drunk for the caffeine or meant to be doused with a lot of flavoring, sugar, and milk, which I understand is itself a big market. Coffee like this is usually priced lower, but the menu here has the same rates as specialty coffee shops.

The bike parking facilities can be made more secure, especially as the café started out by serving bikers as a pop-up store. Serving the drinks in glassware or ceramic mugs will not only enhance the beverage experience but help the environment, too.

If you like sweet coffee and coffee-infused drinks, this is a good place to relax and bond with friends, given the cozy interiors. It's not for everyone, but a lot of people...

A small bike-themed coffee shop in Marikina that supports local coffee.

While I'm not a coffee drinker, I still tried the place for the vibes. I ordered matcha latte with soymilk, which was too sweet and too frothy but I appreciated that they had a milk substitute. I also got flossant for breakfast, which was good enough. Quite pricey compared to other local coffee shops.

The place is quite small and narrow so manage your expectations if you're going there to work or study. Interiors are nice though because enough sunlight gets in and the feels are...

Its the piano instrumental of James Blunt's You're Beautiful that made my stay relaxing I ordered my self a no sugar, creamer Arabica coffee. The fine young lady whose uniform was dapper and cheek was my barista. As she prepares my coffee I it on a high chair while the aroma of the roasted coffee fills the atmosphere.

Its 10am on a Tuesday morning and I am alone in this cafe which makes it more of like a vacation as I cozy up with my coffee, a yellow pad with notes written on it...
