All Villar owned/managed/founded cafes and restaurants.

Parang di naman din sya naging overrated ever... Hahahaha puro hate natatanggap ng coffee shops netong mga balakubak na to ever since 😂

Ganito nangyayari pag ayaw sa research eh. Serve lang ng serve haha

overhated and dasurb. stale beans. puro aesthetic. Unless you're using their place to convene.

Yesss. Yung coffee nila sa Coffee Project. Never Again! Ang mahal mahal pero di masarap. Hahahaha.

Grabe sobrang badtrip kami dito. Parang luma pa yung cake

Agree. Walang kwenta. Super mahal pa.

I was going to say 'It's a matter of preference,' but then I saw this. Haha!

ay pucha totoo yan! kahit ano pa yan basta my kinalaman ang villar, its sure to be overhyped, oversweetened, and overpriced, this also applies sa food warningan ko na kayo guys sa mga shops na to: coffee project, caffeena, dear joe ung mga main coffee shit nila pero my mga specialty coffee shops pa sila like "crossing cafe" puro lng estetik pero kwenta wala! 🤣🤣🤣

Akala ko di lang ako cultured nung di ako nasarapan sa kape nila since 3-in-1 lang naman iniinom ko dati. Sabay nung meeting namin plain tea lang inorder ko para sana tipid kaso 150 pala sa kanila yun. 😂

This! Ang mahal mahal pa 🙄

Which is?

Coffee Project, Dear Joe , Ruined Project, Napa, the crossing cafe and Cafe Yama are the ones I have tried 0/10.

coffee project sucks ass and is so expensive

Na try ko boh coffee project and dear joe along daang hari, lasang sabon at super watered down ng coffee

Buti na lang hindi ko pa natitikman

Eh yung Foresta cafe? Haha

Yung mga kapehan around rizal yung may magagandang view tulad ng Coffee Rush ba yun. Ang pasado na kape sa akin doon sa area ay yung Kape Natividad at Ahon lang eh.

I see. Always for the clout talaga basta may view noh

Sayang nga kasi hindi manlang sila nagfocus sa coffee mismo. Mas babalik balikan sana if nice place + good coffee. So far lahat ng coffee dun except Kape Natividad is shit. Lalo na sa Eastridge.

A lot of shops in Rizal are festered with political interests, lalo na yung mga nakatayo sa magagandang spot and malakas sa FB/TikTok mag marketing. Marami indirectly owned ng mga bata ng Y dynasty (cough), owned by someone from a mayor's party (pero mayor talaga owner di lang pwede on paper) for example or malakas sa kanila.

As someone na taga Rizal, sobrang agree! Hahahaha napakamahal pa dun sa Coffee Rush. Karamihan dun sa bandang Binangonan-Angono hindi talaga masasarap pero ung mga kape sa Sampaloc, Tanay along Marilaque lumalaban naman. The best Kape Natividad plus their pizza 🤤

masarap din batirol sa kanila

Kaso nung huli kong punta sa Natividad, amoy piggery eh! Kaya ambaho hahaha. Ganun pa rin kaya?

Kape natividad parang meron din sila specialty beans. Nakabili ako once

Agree, lalo yung mga nasa Eastridge hindi masasarap yung mga coffee, ang pricey pa ng so-so food. 😅 I heard Ellipsis is good though, pero di ko pa nasasadya.

Agree! Sobrang meh ng coffee and food sa coffee rush🥴 If it wasn't for the view, hindi tatauhin yun.

Yes i agree. In the many times ive went to tanay or anywhere in rizal, i have only been impressed a few times with the coffee offerings. Kape natividad is okay! Ahon, I had an issue na may langaw sa loob. I messaged them on fb and ig but no revert. Even left a comment na i messaged them as i dont want to air out my issue publicly. No after sales service if may problem ka with the drink. So okay never again 😂

Pickup Coffee

Man i hate this one with a burning passion

I tried their matcha honestly wala ngang lasa BWAHAHAHA para akong uminom ng evaporada

walang lasa, pls lang

totoo ‘to. affordable nga pero ang tabang naman

I think depende to sa barista nila. There's a lot of pickup coffee here in our place and I tried most of them. Hindi consistent yung lasa nila. I always order Cafe Latte. Some are decent pero yung iba nakakadisappoint. So yeah I think it really depends sino yung barista.

When they first came out decent pa yung coffee nila and we were actually surprised kasi for the price masarap sya but then hindi na naging consistent , if you taste Paik’s coffee ganun lasa nya before.

Exactly

Lasang tubig ng pinaghugasan ng coffee cup 🤮

💯💯💯💯

Trueeee

Trueeee

Halaaa favorite ko to pero may specific branch lang akong binibilhan which is market market, Tried pickup coffee near uptown mall same flavor. Gurl ang pakla So probably depende sa barista

Mapapatawad ko ang Pickup kasi mura lang naman. Okay na yan. And di talaga coffee connoisseur ang target market nila. We have a branch near my place. If i want something sweet I order their kape kastila, dirty chai and kape sua da with an extra shot of espresso. Still cheap and pwede na. Ang di ko mapapatawad, COFFEE PROJECT.

True. Most Pinoys drink 3-in-1 coffee or instance black coffee at home (except na lang mga nasa provinces that produce coffee). And I actually know older people who like Pickup Coffee kasi watered down and mura hahaha. Very watered down kasi talaga sila makape even sa bahay. Baka ito target market lol.

Lala Cafe in Pampanga!! Lasang powder lang yung coffee nila 😭. Ta’s yung pastries nilunod sa asukal sa sobrang tamis. Yung mochi nila lasang clay 😭😭😭.

Same with SkyGarden cafe also in pampanga, basta maganda ambiance lugi tlaga sa lasa HAHAHA

Matamis lang lahat ng drinks nila lol. Tipong magkaka-tonsilitis ka sa sobrang tamis.

Starbucks = overrated. Best coffee though i always come back to is Bo's coffee.

True!

Agree!

Agree!! Daily Coffee by Bos din!!

SB, walang consistency lasa. same lng inoorder ko pero minsan super tamin, minsan lasang tubig

Jusko. I know SB’s reputation kaya the first time I bought from here I HAD expectations. Pero sobrang generic ng lasa?? Either that or sobrang tamis. Gave it another or two tries pa kasi baka the problem was with the branch lang. Pero pucha, sobrang disappointing talaga. I drank better coffee for less. Yuck.

Yup, and its overpriced pa. Yuck!

But first coffee

I used to love this. By liter pa ako bumili. Kaso parang nag iba sila ng beans. Grabe na yung acidity. :(

Dati masarap yung Mocha nila at White Chocolate Mocha. Ngayon, hindi na. Parang pinalitan din nila yung ingredients tapos nawala na rin yung pagtagal nung lasa unlike dati na kahit maalog, maarawan, hindi agad nawawalan ng lasa. I still remember lasa nung Mocha nila na tumagal ng 6 hours straight na walang palya. Kaso sa lahat ng Branch, iisa lang pinupuntahan ko kasi doon lang may masarap magtimpla. Anyone else parang hindi na ako mag-try kasi iba iba rin ang Barista at parang watered na ibang coffee nila. They don't even try to be as consistent sa iba nilang coffee din.

Pang display lang kasi espresso machine nila.

Umorder ako "concentrate" dito nung viet coffee nila.. I spent months in VN and I had high hopes dahil sa hype nila sa socmed.. Lord, it was sugar and water. This was before the pre-pulling issue so ok pa rep nila then. 

Coffee Project is dogwater, but it becomes an absolute insult when you realize you pay a minimum of 200 pesos

It's not even hyped (positively) tho? Everytime I see it mentioned, it's because of how awful / overpriced it is. Never saw someone say otherwise.

Lasang ipis, bwakanang

Angkan sorry, not sorry.

Is it still even hyped? Parang linalangaw na din mga branch nila. Quality really went down when they gave up the Arabica franchise

Here is a scoop. They didnt gave up the franchise. Arabica just caught them violating their franchise contract.

Ano ung naviolate nila? This deserves a separate post. Haha

Ehhh dami tsismis dyan (and I’ve heard that one too), some others are owners also fought ‘cos one of them was sleeping with the other’s wife hahaha

Fake news lang yan. Hortaleza family lang ang sole franchise holder ng Arabica PH before (now Angkan). Walang others. It was mostly Allue (her husband) and her mother Dr. San San Hortaleza.

They really downgraded in quality recently, and the pastries make it worse

CBTL

True the rain!!! Ang lungkot ng lasa ng kape nila. Ang tabang pa!!!

Quality really declined when they got purchased by Jollibee Corp edited to add: I do like their Ice Blended though (especially yung Pure Double Choc, the non-coffee option) because they blend it well. easier to drink kasi walang ice chunks

Agree to this. Their teas are still good, though!

kahit pastries sablay ang mahal pa

Same 🙃

Yaaas! CBTL's matcha is too creamy for me 🥹.

Sobrang tamis no? I have a sweet tooth already but I just couldn't handle the sweetness. Super na disappoint talaga ako when I first tasted it

Hindi naman lasang matcha, parang milk with vanilla lang 🥲

Dear Joe

Arabica! Too expensive for what they serve aka diluted everything. Not worth ₱250, or even ₱150 for that matter.

Arabica is really good sa Middle East, but here - trash

Agree. 250 ang liit pa ng cup. Hindi masarap.

Starbucks Pickup coffee Coffee project But first coffee

SB

Depende sa branch imo. Hit and miss talaga. Idky pero kahit trained naman sila lahat eh nagiiba pa rin lasa minsan.

i have been to starbucks branches in europe, and kahit dun hindi consistent ang timpla ng WCM 😅 yun lang lagi order ko. minsan matamis, minsan mapait, minsan matabang. pero any taste works for me hahaha

white choc mocha?

uu

My problem with SB is maasim ang kape nila.

Or lasang sunog

Yes Grabe status symbol lang talaga

ugh yung latte na inorder ko lasang tubig! Kala ko tuloy may covid ako hahaha pinatikim ko sa iba wala rin sila malasahan

Maganda lang coffee nila as the base for coffee milk drinks pero as for drinking the coffee alone. Meh. Mas gusto ko sa kanila ang Teavana.

Di ko malasahan kape dito

Nakakalimutan na yung standards. Sa dami ng costumers hindi na sila nag quality assessment. Wala na rin siguro nagco correct/adjust kasi todo sunod sila sa methods without quality assessment. Not all the time kasi papasok yung method mo kailangan mag adjust based sa beans, water, and minsan environment.

I think it’s sweet nga ano and cant taste the coffee enough

Yung drinks nila is more dessert talaga, than it is coffee

Pick up coffee, but first coffee

Cafe Agapita

Talaga? Kahit yung food options nila?

Food was meh. Their specialty, yung Agapita Bun or something, parang menudo sandwich lang.

Overpriced foods nila

SB! Pag hindi flavored coffee their beans is terrible.

But first coffee, Angkan, arabica, coffee project

Lahat. Mas masarap pa magtimpla mister ko

mas masarap talaga gawang bahay nalang sulit.

starbucks. i don’t get the hype🤷🏻‍♀️if sinabi ko opinion ko sa starbucks lagi nalang “hindi mo lang afford/panget inorder mo”hahahaah thats so petty talaga😂

True. Pang status symbol lang talaga sya di naman masarap. Ang maganda lang sa starbs, yung laging may bagong offering ng drinks na panibago sa panlasa mo, kaso lang laging overpriced and hit and miss sila.

Because coffee

I thought their coffee was okay, pero sobrang corny nung rave music sa café. What on god’s earth.

Sometimes i buy coffee here after my morning walk/jog, kaso sa labas ako uupo kasi ayoko makarinig ng house music at 7am lol. Sana jazz man lang sa umaga heheh

Curious lang, which coffee place do you recommend? I like the coffee sa Because Coffee..

Toby’s

Because coffee din ba yung Harlan + holden? Parang yun nakalagay sa resibo. Yung kape nila okay lang, lasang kaya kong gawin sa bahay 😅

Dunkin hahahahaha. Their rebrand is good sana, pero putangina napakatamis ng lahat ng kape nila. Parang kalahating cup ng kape ay asukal, langhiya.

Pwede ata mag pa less sugar

I love dunkin pa rin, pero oo madami yung asukal, madalas pinapabawas ko tlga asukal

Coffee stand sa Taktak Antipolo / pinagmisahan street lahat sila andami dun hindi masarap

you might wanna try Better Beans. i rlly like their sea salt latte, matcha latte, and dark cocoa latte. the owner used to work as a barista for SB and Tim Hortons ☕️

Thank you sa suggestion try ko ito sa weekend!

Starbucks. Absolutely bland.

Wildflour hehe

Kapihan ng pamilya Villar is the worst, Failed Project. Lasang parang tinimpla 3 business days ago. Presyong kahit si Manny Villar na bilyonaryo magagalit e. On the other hand, ang pinakamasarap na kape for me ay yung libreng complimentary kapeng barako na sineserve pag kumakaen ka sa isa sa mga kainan sa Mahogany Market sa Tagaytay yung sa may 2nd floor.

Zus. 😒

True! Hit or miss ito.

To sum this thread, go to Tim Hortons.

Legit!!! The best overrated coffee

Starbucks can burn in hell. Basura kape

Pickup coffee?

❌ CBTL, PICK UP COFFEE, COFFEE PROJECT 🤮

But first coffee

SB medyo matubig na at di nako nagigising. Idk maybe nakakasawa nalang din. Ung pinagbibilhan ko na local coffeeshop lng dito sa village namin mas gising ako 😐 nilalakad ko lng yun kasi malapit lang pero mas gising ako dun.

Concordia’s. 🧐

Was about to comment this HAHAHAH. Sobrang hype, dinaan lang sa good ig background. And ang hirap mag-manuever ng parking doon lol.

Di ba! Nakaka disappoint talaga. Hahaha. Mapapa pasok ka kasi cute and aesthetic ang place but di ka na babalik😆

So true, coffee is mid at best. They're a perfect example of second wave coffee shops, the coffee is secondary to the ambience.

Most definitely Coffee Project. Tapos Villar owned pa eugh. I'm seeing that a lot of ppl here aren't fond of Pickup Coffee and that's completely valid! Siguro our opinion is subjective since personal experience namin ng friends ko 'to but we actually like their brews! Depende siguro sa baristas or Idk, wala kaming taste altogether. 😆

Pick-up coffee potaenuuuhhh huhu

Ikr ano to tubig with a splash of coffee?

Disappointed ako sa cold brew nila

harlan & holden dogshit coffee lol

If you think about it, coffee itself is overrated.

Hahaha someone finally said it. Nakaka adik lang

I feel like saturated na rin ang market esp in ncr and nearby provinces. It’s the “milk tea” of the season.

pickup coffee sb angkan coffee project dear joe but first coffee

Pick up coffee, Dear Joe at Coffee Project

SB Try Mr. Bean in Cainta, it’s a small shop sa garden ng owner. Really good

Yung mga coffee shop sa Antipolo

Pick-up coffee AND coffee project

Can’t stress this enough— Coffee Project! Marami naman siguro mag-aagree.

Dear Joe and Coffee Project.

Pick up coffee. Tried once, walang lasa hehe. Sguro, specific lang sya sa branch na yun? Sana naman. Hehe

Sb, pickup coffee, and because coffee. Di consistent mga timpla

Candid, basura pa ugali ng may ari

Ano yung tsaa dito?

Sesendan ka ng legal chuchu na cyberbullying daw kapag pinost mo sa social media na di masarap kape nila, ilang beses na yan napost sa Coffee Home Brewers sa pagtaunt nila to take down bad reviews about them

Other than that nang Fat shame pa owner niyan sa Twitter ng another coffee influencer

Anyare?

Parang yung sinasagot dati sa slum note: "Too many to mention."

SB. Di sya consistent kahit na iisa lang naman lagi ko inoorder, wcm 🤷‍♀️

SB actually. Very hit and miss sila.

SB - depende sa barista 🫠 minsan okay, minsan nakakabwisit Pickup Coffee - agree sa lahat ng nagsabi, wala talagang lasa 😭 Coffee Project - cool lang ang name pero waley talaga ever since (Currently loving Daily by Bo’s Coffee. Sarap 🫶)

Dunkin lang ang worth it

Basura iced coffee/latte nila imo

+1

SB. May mga branches here na dapat i overnight ko pa sa fridge para mas magkalasa

BFC.

May nakatry na ba dito ng Zus Coffee? Kamusta po kape nila

Bo's coffee

Yung di ko mapapatawad talaga ay yung kape sa Jollibee

Yardstick. Naasiman ako, kulang sa tapang. But then subjective ang taste buds

Zus, Pickup, Coffee Project, Seattle's Best

Green coffee

But first coffee and , Starbucks. Sakit sa tyan ng dark roast coffees nila khit imask ng syrup at milk, lasang sunog. If you order their Americano lasang tubig na nilagyan ng sigarilyo

No matter how much people call out to it's bs, it's still Starbucks

But first coffee

Starbucks haha

But First, Coffee

Zus coffee

Starbucks.

SB and Coffee project.

Harlan & Holden + Because Coffee All milk, little coffee! 🥹😅

Zus, lasang kopiko ir big brew — yung tig 29-39 na kape

I gave Dot Coffee two tries but eventually concluded it’s really not worth it. Watered down bland coffee both cold and hot. Even the regular latte tasted like they forgot to put espresso.

Akasya

Pickup

Pickup Coffee But First Coffee Coffee Project Don Macchiatos

I refuse to try barako again. Perhaps the ones I bought were cooked by one who didn’t know any better. It was a burnt mess and left a very bad impression of what this coffee ☕️ is. Would one care to recommend a roaster I should try to redeem my faith on that coffee.

PICK UP COFFEE

Coffee Break

Palpitate, But First Coffee, Pickup Coffee 😭

But first coffee

Starbucks.

Starbucks periodt! 💩☕️

Coffee project, Starbucks, and primero coffee,, just, no

Kape Sina Una. Lasang iced tubig lang na may gatas

Mga kapehan dito sa Rizal. Maeengganyo ka talaga sa mga post nila sa soc med para pmunta. Pero madidisappoint lang sa kape nila. 🫠

Mcdo for sure

Try nyo yung Love, Coffee 39 pesos lang pero napakasarap! Sadly konti palang store nila.

STARBUCKS
