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 💯

After a spa date with one of my college best friends last Sunday, we decided to have a light dinner at Drip Café. 💜 Both V and I haven't tried it here before, so we don't really know what to expect. We got the following:✅ For V: ROAST BEEF GRILLED CHEESE (Php 200) - ⭐⭐ 1/2V said the sandwich had a meaty taste and had enough beef filling, but lacked the flavor of actual roast beef. Also, she felt like the sandwich was a bit too small for its price. Towards the end of her meal, she also mentioned that the sandwich was too oily. 😞 It comes with a gravy-like sauce, but it was quite bland. ✅ For Me: BASIL PESTO GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH (Php 160) - ⭐⭐⭐Taste-wise, this was actually pretty good. The aromatic basil complemented the sharpness of the cheese, and it cut through the creaminess of the cheese as well. 👌The balsamic vinegar is a nice dip to pair it with. What we found hard to believe though, was the sides they used for the sandwiches. These were chips -- but it tasted all too familiar, I was able to pinpoint what it was on my first bite -- Oishi Potato Chips! 🙊 I mean, who would use that as sides??? Unbelievable. 😲✅ RASPBERRY ICED TEA (Php 110) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐This tasted more like a raspberry juice that tea, but it was good. It was not too sweet, and the barista was right: it does go well with my basil pesro grilled cheese. 👌The ambiance is so nice and relaxing, too! 💜 We enjoyed catching up because of the warm ambiance, definitely giving them 5⭐ for the look of the place. Servers / baristas were really nice and friendly, too. 😊 Food was so-so, though. But, I heard their coffee is really good, so do drop by to try it! ☕ #EatDrinkSplurge

The place has a very homey ambiance. Their 2nd floor is spacious but they have a problem with their AC. If you are planning to stay there, I suggest you guys just stay in the ground floor instead of staying in the 2nd floor especially this summer because they would not allow you to adjust the temperature of the AC. I understand that they are trying to save themselves from energy fees but the thing is they have to wait for the 2nd floor to be fully occupied first before adjusting the temp and opening the 2nd AC (because there are 2 ACs there). I think paying customers deserve a little comfort from the place. As for the crew all of them are really polite and attentive to the needs of their customers. For the drinks, their jackfrost mocha tasted a bit weird for me but it is nonetheless doable. Will be back here next time to taste their food.

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.

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.

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!More on my blog -> Wander B

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 :)

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.

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. ❤️
