At last, we were able to get into this place since, luckily, there were not much people in there a while ago. So the place is so cozy and nice! There were a lot of books. The seats were very comfortable (I wanted to sleep so bad!) and the ambiance is just thumbs up even if the space is quite small. So they only have a few things in their menu and I hope they would add more so that there would be more choices for the customers. So I ordered the banana cinnamon and it was okay. I like it but it was sweet (well, in my opinion) then I tasted my sister's drink which is the one with the yakult in it. And it was good! This is good place to chill with friends and study :) More choices for the drinks and food please.

This place is one of my favorite spot along Maginhawa Street. They have coffee, fruit teas and my favorite, lemon and cinnamon donut . (Was not able to take picture coz I'm excited to eat haha). The place is kinda small, yet cozy. They also have board games which is pretty cool.

Full of books and board games but place is a bit crowded. They serve teas, bagels and donuts but by the time we went there, there's not donut (sad) so we ordered just one tea drink to try and spend little time while we wait for strEats to open. I'm not convinced as to how clean their mats and pillows could be.

Its ANTI but all the things in this tea-place are definitely pro. From the ambiance to the drinks and food and theres also the board games and limited collection of books, everything is as cozy as a personal retreat place.

An unexpected turn of events led us to Antiteasis Books and Brew. We were really craving for a heavy meal, but sadly the fact that it is a Saturday night and all the food establishment in Maginhawa are packed with overly zealous big group of teens looking for a place to hang out.  We found this really tiny place, it was merely empty so we took the chance and opted for a tea break. Surprisingly, the tea was great! I ordered the ginger peach tea, which the staff recommended it was their best seller. I love their cream cheese bagel too. I've been to other library cafes but this place is rather on the cozy side. There are no seats but the floor, with cushions of course. The tables are vintage or recycled of some sort. The bookshelves houses some interesting collection of books. I'm not sure if it was just me or the bookshelves are really dusty.

Ambiance: 5/5Comfort ability: 4/5Food: 3/5 (teas were all good but the mini donuts were meh)Service: 2/5It's a very comfy place. Kung gusto mo ng quiet  place to catch up with small group of friends, dito ka na. Though better kung pupunta ka dito 2-3 hours before closing time. Nagdadabog na kasi yung servers nila an hour before closing time. Kulang na lang itulak kami palabas ng cafe. :))

It is a widely acknowledged fact that a person in possession of a free afternoon may wish to pass it with a hefty supply of books and a delicious drink on hand. Fortunately there are several establishments along Maginhawa Street which see to these two needs all at once.  Among these places is Antiteasis, a teahouse-and-library located at the forefront of 154 Maginhawa Street. A traveller to this part of town may need to keep his or her eyes peeled; this place is not easily spotted in the smorgasbord of restaurants and cafes in the neighbourhood.

Antiteasis is like a small, chill corner. I like their strawberry yakult smoothie here. The owners are great and accommodating. I unfortunately can't say that their service is the same when the owners aren't there though.
