Straight answers
The things people ask first
Do I have to buy something to sit here?
One drink, that's it. No minimum, no hourly charge, no time limit — buy a coffee and the table is yours as long as you want it.
Is the wifi actually fast enough for video calls?
500 Mbps fibre, and the same speed sending as receiving — which is the part that usually breaks. Zoom, Meet and Teams all hold, screen share included.
Will I find a plug?
Yes. There are outlets throughout — you won't be circling the room or carrying an extension cord.
Do I need to book a table?
No. Walk in any time we're open, Mon–Fri 8am–5pm. No booking, no membership, nothing to sign up for.
Is there parking?
Yes, and it's free — in the building. Anyone who has tried to park in Poblacion knows what that's worth.
What time are you open?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. We're closed at weekends.
What's the coffee like?
Filipino beans, Swedish habits. Fika is the Swedish word for stopping properly for a coffee instead of grabbing one to go — that's the idea here, and it's why nobody rushes you.
Where exactly are you? I can't see a cafe from the street.
16th floor of Century Spire on Kalayaan Ave. Come into the building lobby and take the lift up. There's a video further up this page showing the whole walk from the street.
