There are only a handful of cocktails to choose from, but don’t be afraid to speak to the bartenders, as they welcome suggestions to create from guests. I believe The Curator had previously been listed in Asia’s 50 Best Bars and rightfully so, as the quality was obviously there in each drink we ordered. There was something unique but also familiar; some cocktails were ridiculously smooth, clean tasting and presentation was on point. Drinks are not surprisingly on the higher side, but it was definitely worth it.

Great place for a nice coffee and light meals which is hard to find in Manila. The decor gives the place an industrial charm with the concrete walls. Will go there again for drinks as the layout, decor and friendly staff would create a relaxing ambience for trying their recommended drinks
Everything’s great. Coffee. Food. Music. Ambiance. They serve alcohol at night.
A very simple cafe, with a clean interior and a low profile exterior - barely a sign and easy to miss. Their menu also reflects their simplicity. For a convenient order, I just asked for their We Love Legaspi Breakfast with a cappuccino. With a good big slice of brioche, I can play around with combination of flavors from the jam, butter, and pouched egg that came with the meal. Their cappuccino is a right balance of milk and espresso with a strong bitterness that wake me up for the morning. In the end, it was a gratifying breakfast to jump start a day.
I like how lowkey this place is; when my friends and I went here, we kinda struggled finding where it was 'cause they didn't have a signage haha. It's also very cold where we sat, so that's a plus. I'll probably go back and recommend this to my other friends.
The service is great!! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. In our first visit, they took time to explain their offerings and helped us find something we might like based on our tastes. I must say, they didnt disappoint. The cocktails were amazing and the coffee was pretry good.
Chill and lowkey. Great place to hangout for after-work drinks. Great set of cocktails + we had a sample of that puto bumbong drink w/c tastes interesting. Will grab coffee next time.
I like the exclusivity of this bar/cafe. Also, it’s lowkey cos you won’t expect behind their front, which is the cafe, is a semi speakeasy bar. Also the bar smells really nice, as if you’d be switched to a drinking mood right away you step in. Among the coffee menu, I always drink the B.O.D. Plus points you can yosi outside. And in the bar, I would customize my drinks. Their price range leaning on the expensive side but it’s understandable because they’re on the top 50 bars in Asia. The bartenders and baristas are very friendly(especially if they see you come in alone lol)
Has a very comfy Filipino hipster-esque vibe Good place for coffee! Staff are very friendly and know their stuff. You can even ask them for recommendations on your drink depending on what you feel for the day. Tried out their Shake-O-What-O (in pic), which was not bad, and a bit refreshing! It had cold brew, an espresso shot, a bit of cocount syrup and some milk. Will definitely come back another time.
