Definitely my favorite go-to place whenever I want to just chill and enjoy eating. I have been here several times (with friends) and I think the cashier already recognises me. ;) If you are a photography enthusiast, this place is for you. Beside the cafe is a store for various photography paraphernalia they close at around 7 pm). The cafe itself is a bit small but cozy. The pasta is the best I've tasted so far! Even their garlic bread is amazing. Their drinks are also great and all at a good price. We have also tried most of their bread rolls - different stuffing which are all very satisfying and affordable. They also have games which are entertaining and good enough to pass the time. I believe they close at 9 pm (I wish they close a bit later). Great place to study and chill alone or with friends.

It was already past 1 p.m. when C and I decided to head elsewhere for lunch. We initially planned to wait for J to pick us up to escape the harsh rage of the sun but we were itching to find a new spot and so we booked a cab and headed to Tomas Morato area and visited… Shutter Café.

This place is for all the photography affiliates and enthusiasts. You'll enjoy every spot because it showcases photography-related interiors. They also have board games in the place. The menu is limited to pasta, cakes and pastries. This place is quiet and good for catch-up sessions.

Philly Cheese Steak for 165Php was okay. It had thin strips of beef with onions, mushroom and cheese sauce which was obviously cheez whiz pimiento. It was served with tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and some chips on the side. There was nothing standout except the salty cheez whiz. The beef slices were tender but not really flavorful.For the pasta, we chose their White Sauce which was a cream sauce with bacon. It didn't taste a bit bacon-y and they used mushroom soup as the base of the pasta. It's pretty bland. This also came with two slices of buttered bread that were cold.Food is a little cheap - but then again with that quality, I still feel that I paid more than I should LOL

Hello, Shutter Café. The place looks so adorable with its display of vintage cameras. The place is divided into the actual camera store and a nook for eating. As a person who is more than satisfied with just my phone’s camera feature, we headed straight to the eating area. It was quiet when we went. Only one table with a small group of women learning how to knit was occupied when we got there. C and I decided to share our orders and went with Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich (PHP165) and White Sauce Pasta (PHP165). I also got a glass of Lime Basil Lemonade (PHP100). I was surprised when they served my drink. It was more of orange brown than greenish yellow. Apparently, it was iced tea which came with the dishes we ordered. The person manning the counter didn’t even bother to tell me that our orders come with drinks. I could have cancelled my Lime Basil Lemonade. (And it was too late of course so that they could use the classic excuse that it was already put in the system hence they couldn’t cancel my unnecessary order.) At least the iced tea was refreshing. The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich was served next and it was not photogenic at all. C and I had a hard time taking photos of this dish and we even walked around looking for the perfect angle/light and failed. The sliced beef was tender but it was overpowered by the cheese which tasted exactly like Cheez Whiz. And true enough, I spotted a jar of Cheez Whiz Pimiento on the shelf near the prepping counter. I guess for the price, you couldn’t expect much from it. White Sauce pasta was served next and it tasted like mushroom soup. It was a surprise that the pasta tasted like… soaps. It was quite bland that we had to ask for parmesan cheese. But since they were out, we got salt and pepper instead. It helped make the dish a bit more palatable. My Lime Basil Lemonade was served last and it was refreshing but had a weird after taste. It had that “bite” that I just could not explain. Did I like it? Not really. Overall, ambiance was great but food was average. The complimentary Wi-Fi was also extremely slow. I don’t think I’ll go back here for food or drinks.

Good ambiance nice to take pictures the theme is more on cameras and it's obvious because of there name of the resto called "shutter cafe". They have also wifi that you can browse and the staffs are very accomodating. I suggest all photography addicts to come by I'm sure you will love it here. For there food we tried there belgian waffles with Ice cream and its only 150 pesos very affordable. I love coffe and I'm super addicted to it, so I tried there best seller Iced caramel macchiato for only 110. All I can say is that I will definitely go back here.

The place is just really a store of camera accessories, photography accessories, studio lights and video lights-and then they had a cafe which was probably ¼ of the entire place. Hence, the two signs outside-which was “Shutter Cafe” and “Shuttermaster Pro.” They didn’t really have a particular design but it was a little industrial. Their displays were their merchandise so it would really be a photographer’s go-to place when they need something. *Jian & I were planning to buy a gopro and their price is cheaper compared to the stores we’ve been to.(not sure for other products) Maybe, I was a little disappointed because the cafe didn’t really have a lot of styling. But the place is worth a try if you’re looking to buy photography related things. Also, you can’t really work an all-nighter here since they close at 9pm. For more cafe reviews.

If you are a photographer and wants to feast your eyes with gears and good light, this is the place for you. But if you are looking for good selection of food. You should try other cafe. :) what I can commend on their food is the brownies. Haha it's delish!
