The Kismet Cafe

Great soy lattes, not your sickly sweet ones like Starbucks gives you. Try the calamansi cakes and baked goods. I also like the little cookies they give you with the coffee. Must also get the cheese and jalapeño panini, vegan and spicy good. Served with hummus and veggies too! Second fav is the pesto panini. Owners are super cool, chill, friendly babes too. (Plus!) Amazing service, bright colorful ambience. Check it.

Me and my boyfriend went here two days in a row for breakfast after realising there was no vegan options for me at the hotel where we were staying, and what a fantastic way to start our days in Manila! The cafe is cute and colourful and the food is great. They had 3 different flavours of pancakes when we were there, I tried the chocolate chip ones and the banana and peanut butter ones, I would recommend the later one. They also had jalapeño pancakes that I probably would have tried if we had another day in Manila (yes I like pancakes..). My boyfriend had the vegetarian ham and cheese sandwich both days since he enjoyed it so much. My vegan latte was to die for the first day, perfect froth and taste, but disappointed the next day when it was made by another person. Breakfast for two is about p700 (1x pancakes, 1x sandwich, 2x coffees). I definitely recommend this place!

Great jaffle sandwiches (like the pressed and sealed' flying saucer' of when we were kids), friendly baristas, colorful happy decor, wall quotes and paintings. Nice friendly relaxed atmosphere.
