I studied here for 2 months straight as I was preparing for my Diplomate Specialty Boards in Radiology. As I was busy with clinic work during the daytime, I usually come and stayed here from 6pm up to the wee hours of the early morning (around 4-5 am, sometimes being the last customer left). Here's my honest and unbiased review: The place: 1. The place offers an excellent and conducive ambiance for studying. The only exception is when there are other customers who talk too loud (there are some people who conduct their online business here, talking to clients online, and it sort of disturbs the quite study ambiance). Maybe you can provide a room for them upstairs where they can conduct their business conversations without disturbing the rest of the people quietly studying. Also maybe the staff can talk to those customers who talk too loud and maybe kindly request them to lower their voices (if ever this is possible). 2. The lighting is okay but it could need a little more brightness. It's not too dim but I think brighter lights could improve the overall study atmosphere. Or maybe they could provide LED desk lamps for those who need a brighter light. 3. There's background soothing instrumental jazz music which I think is ideal for setting up the study mood and helps with concentration (my only suggestion would be maybe you can add more songs to the playlist as some songs seem to be playing repeatedly or maybe it's just because I am staying too long in the place and the whole playlist loops itself over and over again hehehe). 4. The wifi connection is excellent and the internet speed here is really fast. No complaints here hehe! 5. The comfort room is really clean and well maintained. My only gripe is that the soap inside the dispenser is a bit too diluted with water almost to the point that it won't form any bubbles anymore when you wash your hands with it. Might be best to add more soap in the mixture hehe. Oh and also if you can provide a hand dryer or maybe some paper towels to dry off our hands after washing, that would be great. 6. The parking space is limited and the gutter formed by the road asphalt and their sloping parking lot is a bit too deep that my car bumper always gets hit when I try to park there (I have a lowered car suspension hehe). Maybe you can put some metal rails or maybe just wooden planks to fill up that deep gutter. The food and drinks: 1. The food is fairly priced and they taste really good. I might suggest adding more snack dishes to the menu like batchoy, lomi or other finger foods (siomai, tempura, squidball etc). I know some people who like to eat lighter meals/snacks while studying so that they won't get too drowsy when too full. But I'm already satisfied with their existing "silog" meals. Also, maybe you can sell a some candies or some treats for those who don't need a full meal but would like to replenish their depleted glucose sources while studying hard. 2. The signature coffees, blended drinks and ice tea also taste great. But the brewed coffee is a bit too bitter to my taste and a bit too diluted. Maybe adjust the mix to make it a richer coffee mix. As a coffee shop it is an imperative that you should try to improve on this. The staff/crew: Hands down, the staff here are the best staff I've ever encountered in any coffee shop... as in EVER... and believe me I've been to a lot of coffee shops all over the country. They are always courteous, always smiling, always accommodating and always pleasant to interact with. Simply the best. My suggestion to the customers would be to greet them in return and thank them whenever they provide you with their excellent service. In summary, I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to buckle down and study for that big exam. They have almost all of the necessary elements you need for you to get really productive in your studies and/or work. The staff are the best I've ever encountered in any coffee shop I've ever been to. And because I buckled down and studied here intensively for 2 months straight I was able to successfully pass my Diplomate Specialty Boards. All those long nights spent here studying really paid off. Kudos to the staff for being such great individuals who with their smiles and excellent service help ease the stress and burden of studying. More power to you all! - Dr. Lloyd Vincent Bass, MD, DPBR

The place is super duper nice. A risky yet so brilliant concept of having an hourly rate with an overflowing coffee and iced tea. Staffs are so friendly. Its a must try place for everyone. I love to visit this place everyday. Kudos to everyone!!!
