Language Coffee
Taal Coffee is one of those beautiful places where it always seems to be Sunday morning. With a relaxed atmosphere, exciting coffee (how about their marshmallow variant?!), and friendly baristas, this place has it all.

Pure Coffee
Pure Coffee serves coffee with an important story: their beans are roasted by inmates. It is the world’s first coffee roasting company in prison because, after all, everyone deserves a second chance. Their work does not go unseen: on November 28, it will be announced whether they won the Best Government Innovation of the Year award.
