I tried their iced rocky cocoa latte because someone told me it's their best seller. Well, it's okay, at least compared to the other coffee shops (not including cbtl and starbs) around taft. The place is quite small but I saw many people eat here so I would definitely try their pasta. Their macha is also okay. I love the ambiance and the cute stuff though. The next best thing about this cafe is their serving. It was quite big for the price. The staff was just also okay. Not rude, but not friendly. The wifi is quite slow but if you're here to study, their big chairs would make you feel comfy while reading books. :) Would still love to come back and try their pasta and pastries!

If I were still a student, I would go here everyday. Food options are great, prices are a bit on the high (student) range tho but definitely a place to stay in. I think it's also a venue for photo shoots since there was a set up and makeup booths in one corner.

The highlight of the Studio Terminal 1 + Cafe for us was the studio rental itself which comes with all the basic studio photography lights and basic backdrops. Their space is limited, but it's good enough for portrait shoots or product shoots. We got to rent it for 2 hours for only PhP 1000 and it's consumable for food and drinks. Their food that we got to try were the following:1) Special Nachos - The typical nachos except that it was loaded with grated cheddar cheese. For its price, it's great for sharing and they were generous with the cheese.2)  Chicken Tocino - Their presentation was nice, the serving was decent and it tasted good, but it was not something we couldn't find in other restaurants or even canteens up to some extent. Hope they're not frying their eggs too long still.3) Tapa - Although it was deeply dark colored, it wasn't burnt or anything. Its color was driven from the marinade. 4) Carbonara - Their carbonara sauce was drippy, but we still like it although it was a bit bland despite the cheese.5) Pesto - There is no wow factor in it, but it's understandable since the target market for it are students.6) White Chocolate - This tasted GREAT! It has the right amount of sweetness.7) Khannon - It's a lemonade with the combination of peach and mango placed in a bee hive-looking glass mug. One of the best lemonades I've ever tried and the juice was really concentrated. Aside from its flavor, I like the peach and mango bits placed inside it.8) Salted Caramel Frappeas - It's coffee based drink with caramel. I didn't get to taste the salt in the salted caramel, but it tastes delicious nonetheless.Overall, their food may not be too good, but their drinks more than made up for it. We love their drinks. How we wish this already existed when we were still students back then. I'm sure we'll be hanging out here.

It is located on the 2nd floor of University Mall. You can easily spot it since it's just infront. Interior is cute and instagram-worthy. The lights were too light in my opinion.My friend and I ordered the Green Tea Frappe. Funny fact, the brown thing they put on top is not food; it's actually wood haha so don't be tricked! The frappe had the right amount of green tea and sugars.

Perfect for studious people and for boardgame geeks.This place offers a variety of food and drinks but also offers a studio package wherein you can have your photo shoots in their place!I love how affordable their frappes are and how the staffs are hospitable. PLUS they don't mind how long you stay there!PS: Their green tea frappe is the bomb

Excellent service and above-average taste for an Americano coffee! The interiors were a bit over-the-top or exagerrated because the furnitures were too big to the extent it sometimes feel a bit uneasy to use them for casual conversations!

I’m really fond of dual purpose stores and/or restaurants as time is very valuable nowadays and having such really hits two birds with one stone. This was the case for Studio Terminal 1 + Café, a restaurant that is both a photography studio rental and a café. Me-An and I planned to have our photo shoot since we wanted to jumpstart our Youtube channel and make our social media accounts look crisp by having fresh photos. We stumbled on this place on our way home and we thought that they offer a good deal rather than just simply renting a photo studio for our desired photoshoot.

Their beef tapa is a must!!! I recommend you their tapa. It's better than tapa king and other tapa's that i have tasted. That is the reason why i keep on going back to this place plus the ambience is so cozy yet classy

I love this place. This is my go to study place ❤️ Beverages: I recommend the salted carmel coffee and the matcha frappe. And my friend ordered white mocha it was also good.Food: Must try! Lechon kawali, tapa, nachos(tho super dami ng cheese di na oantay yung ratio of chips and cheese), spam(3 THICK CUTS) and the Clubhouse sandwich.For dessert: try the muffins its big without sacrificing a lot of its taste.However we didn't like the Carbonara and the honey something cake (lasang cabinet daw sabi nung friend ko)All in all the food were satisfying to my taste buds and the serving size was huge. For the staff they are very accomodating they didn't mind that we stayed there for 6 hours everyday studying 😂 tho from time to time lagi silang nagkakamali sa mga order but we don't mind that. For the place its a bit small but nevertheless the place was comfy. it gets cold sometimes so just bring an extra jacket or ask one of the servers to adjust the aircon settings :) Overall yummy, big portions, staffs are accomodating and nice, and the place is comfy. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Going upstairs in UMall, you'll immediately get greeted by this spot and then you're gonna ask yourself if you should go here or not. Well, if you're looking for a nice place to chill, this is certainly one of your options around here. The prices range from affordable to expensive so there's a bit of something for everyone. You'll love the interior decoration since it's kinda unique around the area. Food items however seem to be different than most cafes but give it a try and you just might something that will tickle your tastebuds.For more pictures and reviews, please visit us at : bearslookingforfood.blogspot.com
