Great location, nice ambiance and friendly staff. They make good americano and cappuccino. I'd probably visit the place more often if they serve vegetarian-friendly food.
Affordable and wide selection of drinks. They have coffee, fruit and milkshakes :) I especially love the cozy and quiet ambiance that some popular cafes don't offer.
Everytime I have a massage on a weekend I always ebd my night at this cafe. I am loving their coffee and cakes. Their price is affordable and also you can work or make conversations with friends because it's not noisy and not crowded.
A and I came here to work today, 22 March 2018. After stuffing ourselves silly with burgers, we wanted a chill cafe to hang out at and be productive.
FOOD:
😓 Iced Caramel Macchiato (P125): ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Too sweet for my liking so I couldn’t finish it. Next time I’ll get Herbal Tea instead.
💖 Choco Lava (P120): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s just right - not too sweet and it’s the “perfect timpla”
💖 Red Velvet (P120): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very moist and great-tasting! Cream cheese is appetizing. Price point could be a bit lower? If so, we’ll order this again.
SERVICE:
💖 Their barista greeted us “Welcome!” :)
💖 Prompt and professional crew.
💖 Water is self-service and free-flowing, as it should be. 😂
AMBIANCE:
💖 There’s a TV playing rap songs (my jam!) and they’re in a decent sound level, so it’s okay.
💖 Good WiFi
💖 I saw one electrical outlet so yay! We were able to charge our laptops and phones. Thank you!
💖 Ample parking space.
Our trip from Makati is worth it. We will be back.

The first time I tried this coffee shop was after getting a massage at Nuat Thai which is just right beside it. I wasn’t able to take photos but I remember ordering coffee and cheesecake, which both tasted great.
The second time was with a friend since we wanted a quiet and cozy place to catch up. Since it was just after the holidays, their decor still looked so festive and as millenials say, “instagrammable”. I ordered their double cheese waffle and matcha latte, which both satisfied me, given their prices. In fact, I like the matcha latte here better than Starbucks’.
Cafés are really nice place to spend relaxing time with a love one so for our 9Years & 8Monthsary we've tried Cafe Esse such a nice cozy place. There were only two staff at the store whom are accomodating. The cashier recommended us their best seller ChocoLava while I've ordered Strawberry Slushy along with the ChocoAlaMode Waffle and CheesyMeaty Fries
Good place to hangout! Plus late closing and fast wifi. It also has good food (just be ready to feel poopy with their drinks). But you'll be relaxed because they have a nice ambiance. Overall Cafe Esse will give you chill vibes 👍🏻
small but terrible. its easy to find, along the highway. taste is very good got to experience their cakes. hot coffee is a must for me so and Esse' is ok. ambience is perfect. service is amazing.
Approximately 14.2 kms away from the office & 14.9 kms away from home. Cafe esse, is a one stop cafe where you can chat, plug your laptop/phone and work, eat lunch or dinner or simply enjoy their drinks. Awesome interiors, very clean bathroom, super cool and friendly staffs, what more can you ask for?
Food choices are very limited. For the drinks, it was nice. :)
What I liked about this place is that it's very conducive to working/studying. :)
Definitely one of my cafe of choice in the vicinity. :)

I find Cafe Esse to be a bit home-y and it has that ambiance that makes you want to chill some more for a few more minutes.
Their breakfast meal is amazing. The pancakes were soft and the syrup tasted like your typical maple syrup.
If you need a hearty breakfast, Cafe Esse won't definitely disappoint.
Place is relaxing. The coffee is good and affordable. Choice of music is great. Recommending Dulce de Leche cake, worth the price. Cool place to unwind.
We weren't expecting much on our way here. We were actually going to another place but it was closed so we decided to try this place. And what a stroke of good luck it was.
Ambiance is what first hits you. Very artsy, makes you want to sit around and just relax all day. Decor was very instagrammable. The music was low enough to just be background for conversation.
The staff were so so. This is why I gave a 4.0. Not friendly enough in my opinion but not rude either.
Drinkswise I had the blueberry milkshake and my bf had a Cappucino. The milkshake surprised me. i was expecting something sour with sweet notes but what I got was mildly sweet with underlying berry flavor. Very good. The cappucino was one of the best ones he's had he says. They have good beans, he thinks arabica. The cinammon on top made it special and the froth to liquid ration was just right. Must try for coffee lovers.
The food... we had waffles and boy were they good. I had the the double cheese and my bf got the choco ala mode. Although it was obvious they used eden and cheeze wiz on it, the flavor combination and the waffle itself was really good. The choco ala mode was not overly sweet thanks to the waffle as well. I really want to know their batter mixture! The waffle had just the right texture and doneness. It was what won us over. The price was reasonable for the size of the serving.
All in all, a great experience. Mind you we drove all the way from makati on a saturday full of traffic. Was worth it in my opinion. Be sure to visit when youre in the area :)

My sister and I were fortunate enough to 'own' the cafe because there was no customer when we got there. We used the opportunity to take photos of the place --- the interiors were legit Instagrammable! For the food, we ordered Creamy Carbonara, Spaghetti Meatballs, and Choco Ala Mode Waffle. For our drinks, we ordered Cookie Crush Frappe and Strawberry Milkshake.
They have several food options offered at reasonable prices. WiFi is also available, so don't hesitate to ask for the password.
Cheesy Meat Fries, Choco ala Mode Waffle, Hazelnut
The combination of the sauces (mayo, ketchup, cheese sauce, parmesan) on the fries was really tasty it compliments well with the fries. We had waffle for the dessert. Waffle plus chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream is just perfect 💕 i am just a little bit disappointed about their milkshake 💔 bc its more like just a typical shake and it is too pricey 💔
But nevertheless, good food plus good place. Perfect spot for couples and group of friends 👏🏻
This has always been my go-to place because of their accessibility, ambiance and ofcourse, coffee. In my opinion, best non-commercial brand coffee shop that serves matcha lattes, as I am a big fan of matcha, I'm very critical when it comes to the taste. And by far, theirs is my favorite. 😉 The staff are very nice as well.
Their coffee was good and affordable. The Choco Peanut Butter Cake was sooooo delicious!! I will definitely go back here for their cake and coffee. But the place was a bit scary. Haha. There is no security guard and medyo madilim yung place nila.
I had the creamy carbonara and my friend had the three little pigs. We also ordered two mocha frappes and a waffle. Pasta was delish! Real creamy and tasty, I also had a bite of the sandwich it was also delicious and full of flavor. The drinks were okay too it's just that there's something off with the flavor (maybe it's just me idk lol). I would give a rating of 5 if only the waffle was moist and not dry. To sum up everything, the place is good we also liked their toilet, it's clean and the writings were cool too (forgot to snap a pic), staffs were friendly and for sure the food tastes great! It's a good place to hangout and chillax. Till next time!! 👍🏻
I enjoy trying cafes that aren't mainstream. I like restaurants that are unique to the area.
On the table
🔹 Three Little Pigs - a best seller according to the server. Quite a mouthful and messy to eat. Hubby loved this. I didn't like the ham though and the sauces were on the sweet side. Wouldn't mind crisper bacon. Potato chips were addicting and i think made of real potatoes.
🔹 Spaghetti Meatballs - hefty meatballs that tasted pretty ok. Hubby liked his pasta dish.
🔹 Tossed Fries - who doesn't love fries!!!
🔹 Choco Peanut Butter Cake - super good. They used chocnut too!
If we go back, i would get the Potato Chips and the Choco Peanut Butter Cake and try their waffles. Their drinks sound interesting too.
*the place is on the second floor accessible via stairs. Bring an umbrella if it is raining.
**love the colorful mugs and plates
Lovely place! Their pastas are all good especially the Spicy Seafarers (my fave)!!! I also like their Waffles. The cozy ambiance makes the place perfect venue to chill and hangout.
Love love their coffee here .. Ambiance is very comfy .. Place is dearly .. Small yet can accommodate a special event inside .. Hopefully be back for an event ..
We tried Cafe Ease once, we had spaghetti, burgers (forgot the name tho), shakes and frappes. The food tastes just normal same with the drinks.
I love their authentic spaghetti. They also serve teas which you can choose if you like to use sugar or a substitute sweetener (Splenda). Parking spaces are also available.
