Kape Local: KapeTolyo

A vibe of history and coffee in one, Manila gives you its very own cafe, KapeTolyo. 

Located at the Kartilya ng Katipunan Park, just across Intramuros (pass by the Lagusnilad Underpass), with a mini garden outside, this cafe is the perfect place for hangout after a tiresome walk inside Intramuros or catching up with friends.


KapeTolyo supports local coffee farmers (all blends are homegrown) and on weekends they open the floor for farmers to present their new blend of coffee.

We had Mirabueno Coffee AVPA. It was the coffee that won the AVPA Gourmet Award in Milan, Italy (check this out, coffeelovers!!!)

After taking a sip, I told my friends that we should be drinking it in the morning 🤣


Nevertheless, it was a good cup of coffee over dark chococranberry sweets and a lot of 'kwento' with friends.


Also, the mini garden looks nice at night due to lights. Good thing the rain stopped, giving us the chance to appreciate the surroundings of the cafe.


I wasn't able to check the 'world-class' comfort room that was mentioned in the news. I'll check next time and will let you know if its really world-class👌


Minda-Tienda

The bazaar was closing soon but it didn't stop us from buying ube, kamote, durian and pomelo.


I hope they will visit Manila again or maybe Makati for easy access.


By the way, I was able to sleep at around 4am 😂

That's Mirabueno Coffee AVPA for you if you'll have it after 3pm 🤣


In summary - 

KapeTolyo was TAPped for ☕ 💯

Taste - 5/5 for AVPA

I love my coffee strong, hence, first sip of the Mirabueno AVPA made me smile. I'm not sure but no sour aftertaste even if the blend is strong. 

Ambiance - 4/5

It was crowded when we visited the cafe (after 3pm), but might be because of peak hours. Thanks to the see-through glass walls, you'll see the nice small park outside that lights up at night.

Unfortunately we weren't seated upstairs to check the view. Maybe next time 👌


Price - 4/5

For me, the price is okay given that menu consists of homegrown specialty coffees such as this award winning AVPA coffee.
