“Aside from this tiny cafe, I also have a customized and mobile cart. Since I'm an introvert, talagang out of my comfort zone, but I tried it and decided to park it at Baluarte kasi iyon ang tourist spot sa Luna,” said Villanueva.
Forget how you normally drink your coffee, order either black or white, and choose from the latest freshly roasted specialty coffee beans according to your taste buds.
And you will be rewarded with an exquisite pour over that will make you drool.

In addition, the cafe offers a local drip coffee which is a pour over coffee prepared through a cloth filter and a popular brewing method.
“Our drip coffee is made to order, para at least, freshly grinded ‘yong beans tsaka mas masarap din ‘yong coffee. Bubuhusan mo lang siya ng mainit na tubig,” she said.
For non-coffee lovers, the cafe offers Strawberry Soda, Melon Float, Choco Hazelnut, etc.
You’ll also find a few baked goodies to pair with your coffee such as s’mores cookies, burnt basque cheesecake, and cream cheese garlic bun personally made by the owner.
