Artsy and relaxed atmosphere, delicious coffee, comfortable seating, and excellent, friendly service. This was one of the first places my local friends brought me when I moved to the Manila area a week and a half ago. Put Ella and the Blackbird on your shortlist of places to relax with a friend or three.
aesthetic ambiance, delicious food, amazing staff and owner, would definitely recommend! 10/10!
Ella and the Blackbird used to be Craft Katipunan however I am really happy that the owner has decided to go on a different direction 'coz Craft itself has been pretty bad and I always have a bad experience whenever I visit their HQ or their Podium branch.
I frequently order their beverages. So, this time, let me highlight how happy I am with their Ham and Cheese Sandwich.
I am happy that they use Sourdough Bread 'coz I really find it more class when it comes to sandwiches comparing to those who use the common white bread aka Gardenia. Also, the cheese is pretty generous and the ham is quite thick. Overall the taste is good -- not oily at all, the bread is crunchy but not burnt and not to mention the chips are also good.
The ambiance never fails to be the same and I am happy that they keep the creative vibe here.
Some items were not available. Would have loved to try the skirt steak burger and baked salmon. We got truffle pasta and baked taco rice instead. It was good
A hidden gem in Katipunan. Ambience was relaxing but tends to be noisy when college students are around. Food was up to par, a bit pricy but still worth it. Will definitely come back.
A Gem of a Place... It was a real treat from their main course up to desserts and their drinks everything was a treat. We ordered truffle pasta, truffle burger it was delicious, pasta was paired with a scrumptious garlic bread it was ahmazingly delicious. For dessert we ordered choco lava, frozen brazo and french toast it was yummy i cannot pick my favorite I love it all! 💕❤️🤩
The place was an ideal spot if you want to enjoy good food with good company. They have a cute spot if you want to enjoy your meal out in the open. They also promote environmental awareness and support the use of reusable straws and reusable keepcups.
I love the place and ambiance. It’s so relaxing and the foods are delicious. I love their truffle pasta. 😋Service is great and will definitely visit them again soon.
The salvaged wood boards, high stools, burlap cushions - and that beautiful wall. It's still all there. I’m of the neighbourhood, and this venue is still a singular champion of single origin coffee.
I brought a couple of close friends here, and they ordered a latte and an affogato, both done beautifully. No one minded that there was more ice cream than coffee in the affogato. They ordered the classic frozen brazo and liked it too.
My Ethiopian Yirgacheffe came in their signature carafe. Hazelnut and chocolate top notes, followed by blueberry, followed by citrusiness; a joy to drink.
The food looks okay, but I’m perfectly happy ordering from the drinks menu.
Worth a stop anytime, parking permitting!
Have always been curious about Craft Coffee Revolution but only got to visit recently when they already changed their business name. Hubby and I got served really good black coffee -- I ordered hand-pressed Costa Rica and delicious frozen brazo de mercedes. The coziness of the place did a lot for our quick afternoon coffee date. Going back soon to try other coffee variant and dishes.
A bit pricey but who cares? Foods, coffee, ambiance, music are all worth it. I would rather not to use my perks to get a discount but I will surely recommend place to everyone. Cheers to all the staff especially to the owners.
My friends and I love hanging out at Ella. I always get their truffle pasta and iced mocha. I also recommend their salisbury steak and adobo pasta. My boyfriend who knows his coffee always gets his beans from Ella. You won't go wrong with their coffee choices. It's a good place to chill whether you're alone or with company. The staff is nice and accommodating and I've seen the owners come by talking with customers every now and then.
I’m so happy we tried this cafe. I was skeptical at first kasi parang ang kaunti ng servings sa photos but this place exceeded my expectations. Food was great! Sulit sa bayad. We had Bacon and Mushroom pasta and also BLT sandwich. So delicious!!! Try niyo din!
One of the best coffee dates I had with my girlfriend 🙂 Naka two cups siya ng Latte. Lol.
Balik kami ulit!
