I'd come back for their coffee. But their food is a bit on the pricey side. The place is good, especially upstairs. There are enough tables for those who want to study and there are also sufficient sockets. Parking is quite difficult because it can only accommodate around 4 cars.
We ordered Hot Chocolate and Flat white coffee. We went here after we had our lunch. The drinks taste good. This place has nice ambiance, homey feeling. Servers are friendly.
Nestled in a quiet area of Banawe, Drip Cafe is a wonderful place to stay in and relax. Ordered their Longganisa Garlic Rice, one of their new dishes, and it’s delicious. Service is also great. I don’t find their Pork Schnitzel worth ordering. Not much different from a simple fried breaded pork chop.
Would definitely recommend this place.

Drip Cafe is a quaint coffee shop located in Banawe. The minimalist interiors make you feel at home. Their all day breakfast is the best. I love their longonnisa with fried rice and egg topped with garlic and rosemary. Plus, their coffee wakes you up in the morning. The place is pretty secure with a security guard watching over the place. I also like the fact that they have ample parking space. I would definitely come back to Drip Cafe for breakfast again.
Enjoying this glass of iced latte from Drip Cafe. The fresh milk gives a subtle sweetness to the robust espresso shot which is why I no longer have to add sugar. The cafe also has a chill vibe which is perfect if you want to relax, or focus on your work. ☕️
Ordered their hot chocolate and matcha cake. The ambiance is good on the second floor, as it is less nosier than on the ground floor where u hear the coffee machines’ noise. Their hot chocolate was generously smothered with marshmallows as and very chocolate-y. A little bit too sweet for me, but I dont really have a sweet tooth. For the matcha cake, it was heavenly Creamy matcha cheesecake! a good place to chill with friends or have a date!
Drip Cafe is a good place to unwind and have good dessert and coffee. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake and americano. This is a good find in Banawe.
After our Palm Sunday mass, we were in search for a nice coffee shop along the way. Then we saw this place and decided to give it a try. We tried their cafe latte and flat white. The coffee was good. The ambiance of their place was also nice. Very relaxing and they have a good wifi connection. Will definitely be back to this coffee shop. ❤️

Great ambience and huge change in their menu. I've been here only once after their renovation and I can say I really like the changes they made.
Must try: Truffle mushroom with Portobello and grilled cheese sandwich (P180)
Served with chips and tomato dip. Your tastebuds will thank you for this plump of lovely, chewy, cheesy goodness decorated with pungent portobello bits countered by the mild buttery bread toast making its way through your mouth.
Note, as of this writing, their comfort room's still not working (so I had to pretend to meet someone at Jollibee (across the street) just to pee and come back to resume my work lol).
One thing I usually get icky with here is their choice of music and how loud they play it 😅 Familiar songs with lyrics would catch your mind and get you singing along, thereby making it difficult for you to concentrate on whatever project you're working on or book you're reading--or maybe that's just me. But they play it loud enough to get through your earphones already on loudest setting. I finally asked them today to change to jazz instrumentals and that saved the day for me. Which means to say, they've got really friendly staff! :)
I'll update this post later on when things change :)
Hi Guys! Drip Cafe Philippines is under new Management! Expect the best from their new menus and service. They serve a variety of food from rice meals, salads, pastas and desserts! Also, I recommend you try their signature drink- hot chocolate with marshmallows 💯

It can be said that clients usually frequent cafés with several factors in mind (probably in no particular order): location, ambience, food choices and of course, coffee. Find out here how Drip Café in Banawe can be in your next favorite caffeine stop.
Conveniently located near the Philippine Orthopedic Center, this establishment is usually filled with doctors and med students. Last week, I was able to visit the Drip Cafe, which has been under new management since November.
So what’s up with version 2.0? I had a fruitful time chatting with its new owners, enthusiastically explaining their new dishes by Chef Tatum. Expect familiar comfort food reinvented with a touch of creativity on look and taste.
The interiors here also had a face lift and has become more inviting. They changed the former dark flooring and brought it back to its vintage wooden fixtures. This gave this place a friendlier vibe, which was also accentuated by the light-colored walls and choice of illumination used.
I had first their warm, chunky, and tangy Tomato Basil Soup (Php 140) accompanied with bite sized grilled sandwiches. It had bold Basil Pesto, my fave, paired with balsamic vinegar; an interesting pair of Truffle Portobello Mushroom, in tandem with delicious marinara; and Roast Beef, which came with usual gravy.
After that interesting partnering of flavors, I was treated to a palate-cleansing Chicken Apple & Walnut Salad (Php 200) before I was presented with their mouth-watering mains.
Creamy Chicken Alfredo (Php 240), was a filling bowl, enough to last you a whole night while you work or study here. It had loads of chicken strips drowned by a really creamy blend of sauce. I suggest requesting for more cheese here to make it even more appetizing.
On rice, we were served savory Chicken Salpicao (Php 240), a garlic filled staple and Pork Schnitzel with Mushroom Gravy (Php 240), a crunchy forkful that was unfortunately a bit dry and airy.
They have the usual coffee selections here and I got to sip two of their varieties, Flat White (Php 110) and their Café Latte (Php 120). Also available on Cafe Drip’s menu are Americano (Php 90), Cappucino (Php 110), and Espresso (Php 85).
You like tea? Don’t you worry. New on the menu is the Matcha Mint Frappe (Php 150). Any green tea lover should not miss this special concoction, you have the rich tea taste boosted by a cooling sensation.
For desserts, they have ample choices as well and I was fortunate enough to sample most of them. I had Dark Chocolate Ganache (Php 150/slice), a densely fudgy bite; lightly soured tarty Calamansi Pie (Php 160); Signature Drip Cake (Php 150), which evokes a sweet-salty and warm fuzzy feel; and must have Japanese Matcha Cheescake (Php 180/slice).
Take a sip of their marshmallowy and soothing Hot Chocolate (Php 130) while you down the cakes for a complete sweet tooth delight here.
No medical degree needed to visit. I am sure I got you curious enough to give them a tour soon. You can find them at 46-A Banawe Corner Maria Clara Street, Banawe, Quezon City.

Drip Cafe looks like a house turned into a cafe but I have this library first impression on it. The place looks homey and cozy with its pastel blue and white combination with the touch of wood. Unlike other cafes I’ve been, Drip Cafe is bright and lively inside despite the quietness. The cafe is simple but inviting and relaxing.
THE PLACE:
The cafe has two floors but the tables are strategically arranged that it doesn’t look crowded. The first floor is usually for catching up dates. There are only four tables with one has this big sofa chairs. There is a counter too, with high chairs, for the solo ones and it is placed along the window. While the second floor is for working and studying. I love how the big sofa chairs are arranged in the corners by the long windows. There are 5 sets of those. If you prefer group studies, don’t worry they have 3 long tables for you, guys. I’ve been here for 2 hours and almost all table has been occupied but still, it’s a lot quieter here than other cafes I’ve been since college.
Plus points is that they have Wifi (which is really not that fast) and outlets around. Try to bring an extension cord since it's only limited.
THE FOOD:
The food is good for their prices. It is not just a frappe and coffee cafe. They also have snacks, sandwiches, pasta and all day breakfast in case you’re craving for rice. We ordered the beef and cheese fries from the snacks, beef lasagna for the pasta and the homemade longganisa for the all day breakfast. The lasagna is okay for me since my standard is the one in Greenwich but my sister loved it because it’s cheesy and beefy. It’s a little sour for my taste. She doesn’t like the homemade longganisa though. She wanted a sweet one but Drip Cafe’s more of garlic which I enjoyed. Two thumbs up on their strawberry and green tea frappes!! We are both not a coffee person so I’m sorry for the lack of review on that side.
Overall, Drip Cafe is Wander B approved. Good food, Check! Artsy, Check! Service, Check! Cleanliness, Check! Affordability, Check!

Good ambiance! Plus there's wifi. It's a good place to study or just unwind (since it's quiet). And they even let you use the seats upstairs even though there are available seats on the first floor (unlike other cafes/restaurants).
Food is...just okay (kind or pricey if the taste would be weighed out). They offer various drinks (coffee based or not), pastas, rice meals and cakes!
The carbonara is okay(?)...since they just started offering it recently.
One of my bf fave place. Idky. Maybe because he loves the books here? Hahaha, and he always ask me to go back in here. Lol such a cutie. But for me, I love yheyre food here. Also, the serving is nice naman, that its really a good to go, because the price is equal on what you are going to get. :) (Theyre cups are big, and the cakes are okay)
Their pastas and sandwiches are good. Also, they have polite staffs. But I'm too particular with the taste of coffees. Tho, I still go here for my review/study and some 'me' time.
The desserts here taste good. Try their cookies it is worth to buy. The meat bun here taste nice too. I recommend to try one of their cakes for those who likes desserts. The service is good and the over all look of the cafe is cosy and warm.
Good place tambay and unwind or study.
The location is great. The food is good. The coffee and hot chocolate taste great.
Gonna visit this place again when I need to study.
Ordered hot green tea served in lovely teapot (refillable), and salami basil sandwich -2 loaf bread with fresh greens, tomato, onion and basil dressing (210pesos) served with 10-12 pieces of fries -very disappointed, i think i can make this sandwich at home.
Lovely place though, very homey and relatively quiet.

Don't let its location between fast food restaurants discourage you from seeing the good in this place. Because once you get inside, you'd be amazed on how such haven exists. A really great place to study or just chill, especially if you appreciate a warm and quiet ambiance. They have the right amount of menu items that would accompany you well in your stay here. If you've got work or studying to do, being here would definitely aid you in doing so much.

Drip Cafe is a two-storey coffee shop in Banawe, QC that serves traditional coffee, pasta, breakfast, cakes and some specialty drinks like Matcha Float (for green tea lovers), Latte Float and Choco Matcha. Let me share with you our experience with Drip Cafe….
Drip is one of those places that does not disappoint. Truly a gem in Banawe. I would recommend their latte float. The place is cozy and a great place to study.
Went here spontaneously upon the request of my life group leader. I was actually surprised going here since I didn't expect it to be so relaxing considering that it was surrounded by fast food chains like Jollibee and KFC. The color scheme upon entry certainly creates a calming atmosphere that makes people be comfortable at the cafe.
We held our meeting here and it truly was cozy with high back sofa chairs that look classy. I neither saw the second floor nor try their coffee, but from the beef lasagna alone that I tasted, I think they do a pretty good job. It may take a while for it to come, but the wait is worth it since it is freshly baked. According to my peers, they love the food and drinks they ordered too. And the staff were nice and accommodating to top it off. I deem this as a good place to hang out as an alternative to the milk tea places in Banawe.

Drip Cafe, one of only few cafes in Banawe that specializes in coffee (others being Starbucks, Caffe Da Illy, and Refuel Coffee, correct me if I missed a place)) is usually filled with students studying so I was lucky enough that there's parking space today (yay!)
The place is small and cozy with a contemporary and minimalist interior, and like others said A/C was on full blast but the temperature was just right.
The food is typically cafe: like pastas, sandwiches, cakes, fries, and the like.
I had the Salami and Pesto Sandwich plus the Lemon Twist Iced Tea (230 and 130 respectively).
At first I was thinking that the sandwich was expensive but upon seeing it I had to withdraw my statement, the serving is quite big plus you get fries on the side, the presentation was really nice. I love how the pesto works well with the overall dish as it adds another level of flavor without being overpowering, the croissant was soft and flaky, there's also scrambled eggs which I didn't expect, they also used green tomatoes (cool 😎). The only problem was the salami itself, even though the portion was decent I can barely taste it, only very little saltiness, and the fries was a little bit soggy.
The drink was okay, if not a bit expensive as they used tea bags, but it was very refreshing as the sweetness was just right.
Overall it was very pleasant, I would go back for that sandwich....... but hopefully they would reduce the price for it. 200 flat maybe? 😋
Very relaxing coffee spot in a very busy corner of Banawe St, right next to Razon's. The coffee is second wave, for the most part - latte, mochas, drip coffee, teas - together with a small selection of cakes, sandwiches, and rice breakfast meals.
I love the comfy furnishings and decorative accents in neutral blues and grays. Frequenters of this place know it's a great place for reading and studying, whether upstairs or downstairs.
See the second floor to experience vestiges of the cafe's retro feel, from the high ceilings to the slightly curved corners. Makes you wonder what it must've been like maybe fifty years ago, when this could have been someone's lovely home.
Built on the same two story structure where Kaffe Caffe left, you'd think Drip Cafe is just a renaming of a familiar establishment. But this is new, folks. First thing you notice is the different menu and color tones on the place. This is more 3rd wave now whilst improving on the ambiance of the former. The place also feels notably more spacious now and more inviting for talk and study. Try the Salami Sandwich and the Beef Quesadilla with the signature brew. Food and coffee is good enough. I don't mind that it's a bit pricey now than before since the WiFi is fast and it's a chill place to do your meet ups.

'Twas by accident that I've discovered this cafe. I was looking for an internet shop in Banawe to print my voucher for Metrodeal when I passed by Drip Cafe. My attention was caught because of the way it looked like from the outside--lights were a little bit dimmed and turquoise-colored high chairs can be seen from the outside as well. The girl staff whose name I forgot to take note of was very engaging and even offered me to try blueberry iced tea when she found out that I'm not into coffee. She also offered us to transfer upstairs wherein there are better seats. I really loved the place. We've tried their beef quesadilla and oreo cheesecake which are certainly mouthwatering. Staff are very accommodating, too! We'll definitely go back to this place! 😊
We had a bit of a hard time parking caise it was a weekend. The place is very easy to spot caise they have a corner lot as location and a clean whote facade. The first floor was small but the second floor was a decent size. Oh and they have fabulous interior. It was a bit hard to ask for assistance cause if there's no server in sight you have to take a short walk to go down stairs but it's not annoying enough to complain about. The food is average but I'll be back for the coffee and the ambiance.
Banawe has a distinct lack of good coffee shop places to hangout, and this is one of maybe two places that I would be willing to spend an afternoon in. They have outlets to plug in to, fast wifi, and of course their food and drinks aren't bad and reasonably priced to boot. I've tried their triple chocolate drink and it's good, sort of a cross between a chocolate drink and a milkshake. Their fries are home made and are okay, though they could use some salt.
I always pass by this place but tried it just last night. I did'nt expect it to look so cute inside. They also have a nice selection of coffee and tea. I had my drink to go cause parking was full but I'll be coming back with friends soon to try their food too. A pleasant surprise in banawe.
Discovered this cafe while trying to look for alternative coffee shops near my place. The drinks are actually good, not too sweet, and I dare say, even better than the established coffeeshops (SB, CBTL). The ambience is another plus point: I can actually study here. They provide outlets for charging and WiFi is free. Perfect place for studying and chilling with friends
This place is easy to ignore from the outside being surrounded by fast food from all sides. It's actually a fine interior-ed cafe equipped with equally tasteful glasswares. The inside is brightly lit by its big windows and has nice lighting fixtures. It looked and smelled very clean. To me, that's very rare being located here in Banawe.
We got a Genmaicha tea pot and a chocolate dome cake. It came with a small dish where I was instructed to remove the tea to taste. It made me happy that there's so much thought put into the customer's satisfaction, being given the option to brew the tea how they like it. The tea tasted fresh and the cake was surprisingly tasty. You can get a refill for your pot too so it's not wasted.
The staff is exceptionally pleasant. It's the perfect spot to chill, study and/or meet with people. There were friends meeting, folks studying and a girl reading in the corner. The cafe gives off a serene ambiance you hardly get in most cafes nowadays.
Cozy and has fast WiFi. Appreciated the staff who waited on us even if we left 10minutes past closing time :) parking is available and there is a guard, so it is pretty safe

Another coffee shop in Quezon City worth visiting. It is located near Philippine Orthopedic Hospital. It was where the old kaffe kaffe once stood.
Upon entering the store one can immediately feel the air-conditioning system of the store is in full blast compared to other coffee shops and restaurants which is a major plus for me. You will also notice the big "king-like" chairs situated in the store. 😂
The lighting was sufficient for students who want to study all day long. But remember to bring your earphones to minimize the sounds coming from the surroundings.
There is also a second floor when there is not enough space. The servers/barista were also nice and accommodating and always wanting to help new comers.
Upon ordering, they would immediately give you their wifi password without asking for it. 👍👍👍
I ordered cafe mocha which was served in a big cup. I would taste the chocolate in it and the coffee was comparable or even better than Starbucks. 😄
They would also serve you water upon serving your drink which was great!
Great interior. Great coffee. Great air-conditioning system. Ambient lighting.
Will definitely come back. 😃
5/5
Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like their place, it's cozy, clean and classy 👍🏼 but I think there's nothing special with their drinks. 😔
We ordered:
Cappuccino
Iced Mocha
Loved their Iced Mocha! Way better than Starbucks' as it wasn't too dark and had just the right amount of chocolate. The place is cozy but great for being productive. They have communal tables and those pretty teal accent chairs on the second floor.
Liked my first visit. The place is well lit, quiet, and has lots of outlets for charging your gagets. The chairs and tables are well suited for an average Filipino, ergonomically speaking. The prices are the same as other coffee shops. Coffee was okay, no choice of non-fat milk but i had it steamed. We had ensaymada (was soft, warm and delicious... good feeling for your tastebuds!), and tofu skin (crunchy and good, too, if you like fried food). They have friendly staff. Very conducive for work and study. Overall experience was close to great. Will definitely come back. 👍👍👍👍
The homemade longganisa was ok, their tea was fine. The only thing that stands out to me was the comfy chair, friendly staff and cozy ambiance.

Drip café is one of the new third wave coffee shops in Banawe. The first thing I notice is how bright the place is, perfect for studying or just hanging out.
Seats were comfortable and music selection is nice + plugs everywhere. Perfect for those cramming/work days and nights. The only thing that bothered me about the ambience was the blower they had near the door, but that was forgivable. Bathrooms are clean too.
Menu selection is pretty good. I was surprised they had a lot of food choices, ranging from all-day breakfast meals, pasta, salads and pica-picas like crispy tofu skin and fried chicken strips. They even have Snow Buns: chinese pork buns and chicken curry buns.
I got the mocha which was okay, comparable to mochas of other coffee shops. It took a longer time than usual for them to make the coffee though. Their oreo cheesecake cookie was superb, especially while it's warm. It has a cake-y texture to it, but in cookie form.
I got hungry after a while so I got one chinese pork and one chicken curry bun. The chinese bun has this sweet pork filling that's very addictive. What surprised me is how much I liked the chicken curry bun. The curry inside is the indian curry kind with a milder taste. It worked very well with the soft, sweet bun which encased it.
I will definitely come back to try their other food/drink offerings!

I ended up at the newly opened Drip Cafe... I probably have a similar reaction with everyone who has been to the now defunct Kaffe Caffe-- The place is so bright!☀️ It really is an amazing change from the deep browns and dark woods of the previous coffee house... Now, it's black and white with teal accents... Pleasing to the eyes! And the bright lights make the place conducive to studying... Calling all med students!😊
Their baristas are very friendly and helpful, I love it!😍 I wanted to try their Matcha Green Tea at P130... I got a mug of matcha goodness! Not too overwhelming in the matcha department, but very smooth! Calling all matcha lovers too!😊
After awhile, I decided to order their barbeque pork buns and curry chicken buns... You can mix and match, 3 pieces for P120... You can't order pork buns and not compare it to the THW version... It's smaller, flakier, with small bits of pork inside... It doesn't compare to the uber soft and crave worthy THW version, but it's not bad... I liked the curry chicken bun way better, with the curry holding it's own to the bun itself... I like the mild curry taste, mixed with a bit of carrots and potatoes... Would order that alone next time!😊
This place has a lot of pros: I like their corner location, providing lots of parking spaces (compared to other Banawe restos)... Very near Kreamy Island too!😍 Another plus? They have very clean, gender segregated restrooms too!😁 Lastly, their store hours cater to both the early bird and the night owl-- open from 7am to 10pm... Calling all residents!😊
The space is now transformed into a clean and eye-catching store, a complete opposite from what it looked like previously... It feels a lot more open and inviting-- calling you to stay, chill, hangout, and study... And of course, to indulge in their coffee... Only con? You might keep wanting to go back!👍
Ambiance - Drip Coffee possess great interiors and cozy ambiance. A good ambiance to work, unwind and meet with friends.
Service - The service is really good. The staff are attentive and friendly.
Food - Since they are still on soft opening, I think they serve limited selection of food but nonetheless, they serve great tasting and flavorful food. Also, I do recommend their Slow Brew or Drip Brew Coffee.
I highly recommend this coffee shop.
