Caveat: I’m not in Australia at the moment. 😂

M is the one in Australia —not for coffee, unfortunately—but I made sure there was at least one café on the itinerary: @diggydooscoffee.

Tucked in the basement at 3/2 Bridge Street, @diggydooscoffee is one of those places you could easily miss, but it’s well worth seeking out. The café may be small, but it has a welcoming warmth that instantly makes you feel at ease. Rather than following the usual minimalist café trend, the space has a cozy, laid-back character that’s perfect for slowing down over a good cup of coffee. As you enter, you’ll be greeted with their espresso bar. Their slow bar is located inside the shop. While we normally framed our cherished coffee bags, i noticed that they placed theirs at the bottom of the cupboard.

On Paul’s recommendation, they tried the Kenya Nyeri AA, an AFCA Taste of Harvest winner. It brewed into a clean, balanced cup with approachable flavors, making it a good choice for those who don’t usually drink black coffee.

For espresso, M tried the Ratnagiri from India—a coffee that showcased yet another exciting origin.

Even if I couldn’t make the trip myself, it’s nice knowing a good coffee stop was part of the journey.

What to expect:
▪️espresso based drinks
▪️hand brew coffee
▪️sandwiches, pastries
📌3/2 Bridge St, Sydney
⏰Mon to Fri: 7am to 3pm | Sat & Sun: 8:30am to 2:30

From Pasay to a bigger home in Ongpin—@septcoffee.mnl has officially entered a new chapter.

I finally had the chance to visit their new space yesterday after missing the grand opening, and it was well worth the visit.

The new café is more spacious while still carrying the warm, welcoming atmosphere that Sept Coffee is known for. But what truly stood out was their impressive coffee lineup.

I had the opportunity to taste 8,different coffees, and every single one was exceptional. I

Among the pour-overs, my standout was the Peru Cusco Llaqta Pata SL9, an elegant, expressive cup that immediately caught my attention. I also thoroughly enjoyed their Ongpin Set, a great way to experience a curated selection of coffees.

Another highlight was getting to taste Panama Boquete Lerida #5 Gesha Honey.

Congratulations to Anna and the entire Sept Coffee team on your beautiful new space. Wishing you continued success and many more memorable cups to share with the coffee community.

What to expect:
▪️espresso and non espresso based drinks
▪️hand brew coffee

Today turned into an overly caffeinated day.

Dropped by @systemcoffeeco, one of QC’s newest specialty coffee spots.

The space embraces a clean, minimalist look, combining shades of grey, black, stainless steel, and subtle touches of greenery. It’s the kind of cafe that feels simple yet intentional—where every design choice has a purpose without trying too hard.

One detail I particularly appreciated was the layout. Their slow bar is separated from the espresso bar, creating a more systematic workflow that allows each station to focus on its craft while keeping the space organized and efficient.

The menu follows the same philosophy: straightforward and thoughtfully curated. You’ll find Black, White, and Anti-Coffee—the latter perfect for those who don’t drink coffee or simply need a break after one too many cups.

I also had the opportunity to chat with the owner and learn the story behind System Coffee Co., which made the visit even more meaningful. Of course, no visit would be complete without coffee. I enjoyed a few pour-overs personally brewed by the owner, making for a relaxed afternoon filled with good conversation and even better coffee.

It’s always refreshing to visit a cafe where the concept extends beyond the interiors and into the workflow, menu, and overall experience. Sometimes, simplicity is the strongest statement.

What to expect:
▪️espresso and non espresso based drinks
▪️hand brew coffee
▪️pastries
📌656 Del Monte Ave, QC
⏰ Mon to Sat: 2 to 10pm (soft opening)

Have you spotted the iconic orange Kombi van today?

Well, get used to seeing it because @kombibrew’s Hideout V3 has officially found its new home in Makati—and this time, it’s here to stay. (right Budz! 😃)

Kombi Brew is now tucked inside @polilya.mnl, giving coffee lovers yet another reason to visit this beautifully designed space. It was my first time stepping into Polilya, and seeing it in the quiet of the morning made me appreciate it even more. The interiors are filled with character—warm, thoughtfully curated, and full of personality. Adding a specialty coffee bar to the space feels like a natural fit.

The menu still features Kombi Brew’s traditional espresso-based drinks, but still carry the two all-time favorites: Kahel Brew and Seascape. But Hideout V3 also introduces two new signature coffee creations:

Poblano – Coffee with yuzu and kosho, delivering a unique balance of bright acidity, subtle saltiness, and a gentle kick of spice.

BB Latte – A blueberry latte that adds a fruity twist to your usual coffee routine.

If you’re in the mood for something without coffee, Polilya also serves refreshing mocktails like Guava Good Day and Apple Cloud. Pair them with one of their silog meals, and you’ve got yourself an amazing breakfast.

I ordered the Poblano, which I thoroughly enjoyed for its well-balanced flavors. The yuzu brought brightness, while the kosho added depth and just the right amount of savory spice. Of course, I couldn’t leave without ordering my all-time favorite, the Kahel Brew, and I also tried the Apple Cloud, which was light, crisp, and refreshing.

Whether you’re dropping by for your morning coffee, breakfast, or simply to enjoy the space, Kombi Brew Hideout V3 is a welcome addition to Makati’s growing coffee scene.

What to expect.
▪️espresso based drinks
▪️mocktails
▪️silog, sliders, fries and chips
📌5767 Ebro, Makati
⏰ Tues to Sun: 8am to 5pm

Congratulations Budz on your new space.

Finally had the chance to visit @yardstickcoffee’s branch at The Block.

The space immediately gives off a sense of warmth and comfort. With its rich wood finishes, earthy brown tones, and clean minimalist design, it feels both modern and inviting—a place where you can easily spend a few quiet hours over good coffee.
One thing that makes this branch unique is its in-house bakery, where doughnuts are baked fresh daily. They offer a variety of flavors, but we decided to keep it simple and ordered their Feel-Good Glazed, soft and sweet, which works well with the Los Guaduales as a pour-over.

What to expect:
▪️espresso and non espresso based drinks
▪️hand brew coffee
▪️freshly baked doughnuts
▪️accepts cash and credit card

This is Candid’s interpretation of the modern Philippine specialty coffee experience. Rather than following the typical cafe aesthetic, the space embraces familiar local elements—raw cement walls, warm earthy tones, and clean, understated finishes. The result is a minimalist yet inviting environment that feels contemporary.

Candid introduces stardust a blend of Philippine coffee including Finca de Garces. Stardust has notes of strawberry, yogurt, lemonade and candy.

This branch also offers gelato, so of course I had to try it.

We went for the Earl Grey Crumble and Mango Jasmine—both beautifully balanced with fruity and floral notes.

The standout for me was the Earl Grey Crumble. It has a rich tea aroma, subtle sweetness, and a creamy texture that makes every spoonful satisfying. Suggest to pair it with their plain croissant, it became a simple yet perfect combination. The buttery, flaky pastry complemented the floral notes of the gelato beautifully.

Highlights of this branch are their signature drinks. This is the Pineapple Dole Whip (129kcal) . Was surprised that all their drinks have calorie content.

Pineapple Dole Whip
This refreshing drink combines pineapple, coconut milk, espresso, and a Dirty Horchata foam. It instantly reminded me of a piña colada—but with coffee, making it even more enjoyable. Creamy, tropical, and incredibly refreshing, it’s the kind of drink you’d happily sip on a warm afternoon.

Flat White
Made with their Stardust Espresso and Meiji Milk (blue tetra pack) the cup beautifully showcased the coffee’s tropical fruit character. The milk complemented the espresso without overpowering it, resulting in a smooth, balanced, and naturally sweet cup. If you want a change to the usual chocolatey notes of coffee, you should try this.

Pour Over
Their filter coffee lineup featured Finca de Garces and Mt. Apo. I chose the Finca de Garces, which brewed into a clean and sweet cit taken in SM City North EDSA by @coffeecupseries
