A must-visit cafe for fans of K-pop! K-pop lovers could enjoy raffles and cup sleeve events here. Also, their food & drinks exceeded my expectations, everyone may enjoy it! They offer a wide range of options on their menu, friendly service, and a tidy and pleasant setting. I also tried their delivery service, it was well-packaged, it arrived quickly and without any leaks. I highly recommend!

This spot’s my go-to for brunch or merienda when I’m in Balayan. Food is great, definitely worth coming back for. Some of the drinks can be a hit or miss. It does get warm inside during lunch, even with the AC on, especially in certain areas of the cafe.

I really love this cafe that’s why it is my fave cafe in Balayan. They have variety of food and all of them are good. I really like that whenever there is a special holiday coming, they will release special menu. In terms of the drinks, I really love their Strawberry Latte since I’m not into coffee. Even though you are not a coffee lover, you will love this place because they have lots of non-coffee drinks. For the service, I also love it since the owner is very friendly. You can easily chat with her, talk with her about stuff specifically about KPOP. With that, this cafe also offers cupsleeve events for those KPOP lovers. For the place, I like it since the design are minimalist yet you can feel the aesthetic vibes. Overall, this place is really amazing.
