Hey, coffee aficionados, Instagram enthusiasts, and all you wanderers of Quezon City's vibrant streets! Ready to level up your coffee game and your Insta-feed simultaneously? Let's take you on a trip to QC, where cafés boast their distinctive vibe and a menu filled with brews that beg to be photographed.

With sun-drenched interiors and golden rays streaming through large windows, these sunny cafés offer the best backdrops for capturing the perfect #CoffeeOfTheDay shot.

Habitual Coffee

Each branch has its unique vibe, but they all share one thing in common: an Instagram-worthy aesthetic and cozy atmosphere that makes every visit a joy. Step into Habitual Coffee at Ayala Malls Vertis North and prepare to be delighted by its specialty third-wave coffee offerings. The friendly staff are experts at recommending the perfect drink, and it's heartwarming how they remember your usual order. When it comes to the coffee, you can expect top-notch quality with Aeropress-brewed and espresso-based options.

Cupi

And it was all yellow… at Cupi, One Eastwood Avenue. This fresh alfresco coffee haven, perfect for soaking up the daytime sun or enjoying the night lights, was newly launched on February 24, 2024. At Cupi, we recommend trying the Ube Cheese Cloud or Strawberry Cream for cute color combos or opt for unique coffee flavors like Hazelnut Praline and Lavender Earl Grey Latte that are as delightful to photograph as they are to sip.

Palpitate

The moment you step through the doors of Palpitate in Batasan Hills, you're greeted by the aroma of fresh beans and its modern minimalist interiors. Among their stellar offerings of hot and iced espressos, frappitates, and pour-overs, the Palpitate Latte and Seasalt Latte stand out. So, are you ready for a coffee experience that'll make your heart race in the best way possible?

Candid Coffee

Nestled along 4-C Casiana, this pinkish peach mini coffee shop serves expertly crafted brews with big servings of LOLs, thanks to their witty product descriptions. For instance, their new Rebel Bar blend is “meant to go against the book. Yes, pasaway kasi kami,” or their holiday Toffee Nut Latte that’s “mas masarap sa Xmas drink nung other coffee shop.” Candid Coffee’s humorous approach invites coffee enthusiasts to experience third-wave coffee in a refreshingly relatable manner.

Café GUILT

Nothing says picture perfect more than a scene of rustic woven chairs, plants, and glass windows. Find your new go-to brunch date spot at Scout Castor Corner’s Café GUILT, where you can enjoy your salad-pasta-coffee combo while enveloped in lush greenery. The relaxing beachy vibe extending from the indoors to the al fresco area is the perfect place to enjoy comfort food.
