Whoa! What do we have here? Coffee shop on soft launch? I must check it out.
Book & Borders is the 55-seater new kid on the block along Tomas Morato. Combine a fairly big coffee shop with a Power Books branch and this is probably what it will look like --- darn good combination, really. :)
Coffee is good with pastries and breakfast menu created by Chef Edward Mateo. Drinks are priced from 120 pesos and up for you java lovers and pastries go from 60 pesos to breakfast selections at 180 to 220 pesos.
The ambiance is great! Clean and neat all around. Colorful seats, wood finish tables, an interior dominated by books and shelves will invite long conversations between friends. The music playlist is dominated by jazz, bossa, and instrumentals. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Sadly, there's no WiFi yet so you're better off bringing your own pocket 4G/LTE device if you want to get some work done here. Place is right beside a 7-11 so you're pretty much covered for your sudden convenience store needs.
I enjoyed my coffee break here. I'll definitely go back for more snaps and coffee next time I'm in the Tomas Morato and Timog area.
Sitze dort seit 1 Woche und lese die angebotenen Bücher ..... besucht hauptsächlich von Studenten, die dort ihren Stoff durcharbeiten. Alles ist sehr ruhig. Lange Öffnungszeit, kein Bier, diverse Smoothies, kalte und warme Tees und Kaffee-Getränke sowie kleine Gerichte (Paste, Sandwiches)
