Erwan Heussaff’s latest culinary venture is a haven for post-millennials easily overwhelmed by modern day partying. Inspired by 90s to early 2000s New York City nightlife, Yes Please fosters a more casual environment than most bars in the Metro. It’s a place where you’re free to roam around and fearlessly strike up conversations with strangers — just exactly how a bar should be!

You’ve never tasted true Vietnamese cuisine in Manila if you’ve never eaten at Dalat. This family-owned restaurant serves authentic Vietnamese food not usually talked about or sold in restaurants, including Com Tam and Bo Bi Tet. It’s tucked within the bustling city of Makati and is definitely worth seeking out to get away from the crowd.

Open every day from 9 A.M. to 7 P.M.
Budget for two – PHP 300
If a Venti-sized Starbucks isn’t enough to satisfy your thirst, Icelavie definitely will. Order anything from their menu, from juices to coffee-based beverages, and expect them to come to you in huge ass take-out containers because, let’s face it, you’re not going to finish it all in one sitting.
Happy Town Coffee
2F, Hobart Commercial Center, Zabarte Road, Novaliches, Quezon City
Facebook, Instagram
Open Monday to Saturday from 11 A.M. to 10 P.M.
If you ever find yourself far north of the Metro, seek refuge in this cozy café. Their menu is made up of simple comfort food, like Mac & Cheese and Homemade Tocino Meal, which will brighten up your gloomy day.

There may be a lot of bingsu places around the Metro, but K Bingsu Café is worthy of being sought out for a cold treat to beat humid afternoons. Try out their best-sellers: Mango Cheese, Strawberry, and Choco Cookie!
My Cuppa Fix

Joining the long list of Instagrammable third wave coffee shops in the city is My Cuppa Fix, but there’s more to this café than meets the eye. Their drinks, though simple and traditional, pack so many flavors in one sip. Some even have the confidence to claim that coffees are much tastier here than what they’re used to buying. Only way to find out if it’s true is to try it out for yourself!
