Hills & Valleys Coffee - SJDM Bulacan — Restaurant in San Jose del Monte

It was not my first time at Hills and Valleys since this was actually my second visit. I was excited to try more from their menu. This time, I ordered an Iced Matcha Latte with less ice, a slice of New York Cheesecake, and a Hot Americano.

Here’s my honest take:

Starting with the Iced Matcha Latte, I forgot to ask for less sweetness but surprisingly it was not too sweet at all. The drink leaned more on the milky side and while it was pleasant I did find myself wishing for a stronger and deeper matcha flavor to really stand out.

The New York Cheesecake was a highlight for me. I liked that it was not too sweet which is how I prefer my desserts. Compared to their previous cheesecake base which I found a bit too sweet this one had a more balanced and creamy profile that paired well with the drink.

I also had their Hot Americano though I was not able to take a photo. It had more of a fruity flavor which gave it a slight tangy taste but it still had that bold coffee presence. It is a profile that might not be for everyone but it felt thoughtfully brewed.

The staff was very hands-on and attentive, especially when I asked for service water. I was the only customer at the time so I appreciated the warm service. I hope they maintain that same level of attentiveness even when the place gets busier.

⭐️ Overall: A cozy spot with a solid drink and dessert lineup. The matcha could use more depth but the cheesecake was a pleasant surprise. If you are into fruity coffees and a calm minimalist ambiance this place is worth checking out.

Visited this coffee shop in Area H going to Sapang Palay, in front of Trade School and beside Phoenix gasoline station. They are on the 2nd floor of the building. First, they don't have a dedicated parking space, you can park in front of the building, good if you have a motorcycle but if you have a car, look somewhere spacious to park in. For the food and value for money, the prices are reasonably fair for a quality coffee and food. I had an iced spanish latte and a blueberry cheesecake. I like their coffee because you'll get a nice blend of a sweet and a shot of their brewed coffee (whatever you call it). For the place itself, they have a very nice interior that has around 7 tables that can sit 2 to 4 persons each. They also have a space outside that you can also sit in. The staff are nice and courteous. Plus point because they offer service water for free, which I always mention in my reviews which I think is important. Recommended coffee shop if you want to have a quick break and a sip of a...
