👍 Only here for the place. I love the idea of cube rooms for the cafe - it delivers privacy for the customers. The llace is clean and has sockets.

    My review is consist of Positive and Negative. Please give me a like or comment down below if you disagree or Agree. Thank you. Ambience and theme of coffe shop -5 Star Drinks, foods, coffee - 4.4 star Staff service - 4 star Creativity - 5star Internet connectivity - 5star Personal Touch - 5 star This coffee shop is Amazing! for everyone who need space, they have cute semi private Box where 3 to 4 people can fit, whether you want to studies, talk in private, friends who wanna play cards, scrabbles etc, make your vloggs or whatever you want to do. Just make sure you dont do any foolishness inside The boX. I tested also the internet connection and i was able to play online movies, download, watch on youtube. I can say the owner really think about what the customer would love to do when they are inside the coffee shop. the services they provided is absolutely 100percent for cusomer satisfaction. Negative observation and suggestion: 1.Staff could smile more - its really not an issue, the staff were great, but i will fell more at home if they could give me a smile:) 2. Inside the box- just an additional to idea, i think if they can put more noise reduction will be great, but anyway its already good. 3. Restroom - Restroom is clean but restroom is one of the most important part of any hospitality business.. so if they can put more effort on it, decoration, air freshener.. 4. They can charge the customer if they are gonna stay in the box for a very minimal amount, so the management can use that for restrooms and other services you are providing to make us happy. I stongly recommend this coffee shop! Total review score 4.8 star!

    Only here for the place. I love the idea of cube rooms for the cafe - it delivers privacy for the customers. The llace is clean and has sockets. They have wifi connection for the customers but it's not that fast so better get a back up if you plan to work or study there. You have to order at least once in every 4 hours to continually use the place. CR is good and clean. They have bidet as well. Food is something that I want to them to improve and work on further. It has to taste better to compensate the price.

    Bean Box Recto has a very soothing and relax atmosphere, just right on what I need now after a busy day. Alone or with someone, the cafe is the place to be, one can feel that homemy feeling, or even much relax than home as nobody is rowdy and everyone is well behaved. I did ordered for strawberry smoothie which is fairly ok, but the rice meal with Korean pork Kim Chi based which I forgot to take a picture because after that first bite, that strong intense flavor made me forget to take a picture. Very delicious! Will surely comeback here. So next time you are in Recto, pay a visit to this cafe.

    Is a good place if you are looking for a space to rest, study, and maybe catch up with friends with privacy and comfort.

    definitely will not go here again

  • 5/5 Kathryn 4 years ago on Google
    Yummy sanctuary. Except for the gossip going all around you. Best to find a quiet spot to do some thinking and eating of their scrumptiously delicious cheesecake!

  • 3/5 Ali C. 4 years ago on Google
    3rd time here! First time trying their meals, pasta bolognese was 195 pesos and meh, not recommendable. I got blueberry yogurt tho. Super sweet. For people with sweet tooth! I just like going here cause of the cubicles, you can sleep, study, watch a movie. Alone or with friends! Along San Sebastian College Manila

    Beanbox has the best korean motif to offer. Plus they have free korean costume to wear for pictorial. Different branches have different set up of background for pictorials yet same korean costume. They have also the best ramen noodles. 😘😘😘😘

    Coffee, hangout or just study moments, this place is just what you’re looking for.

    The place was good. The ambiance was so cozy and comfortable. I like their choice of songs. Their food and coffee was good.

  • 4/5 Neko K. 5 years ago on Google
    Korean inspired bunk cafe where you can chill with friends or your SO inside their bunks. Their Wifi is fast too and you can charge your gadgets here because they have outlets. However, they need to expand their menu because it's not so appetizing at all and it's freaking expensive. E.g. their instant ramyun is about 150 pesos. Tsk!

    A good place to hangout with friends while killing your time for the next class. They have a student friendly menu and it's a good alternative in the area since most cafes around the area are always full. Try beanbox!

    one of the cubicles have insects and have caused an allergic reaction on my body, since i was laying down.

  • 3/5 Herrera C. 6 months ago on Google
    I feel itchy when I lay down so we dont use the pillow just incase it has bed bugs. Around 4pm wifi suddenly goes slow and I can’t work because of the lagging. The bathroom for girls is close so need to share with men’s bathroom. However I love the idea and approachable staffs just need to wash the pillows

👍👍 Authentic place! Really great food. The best was the shrimps dumpling. But all other dishes were good. The service was great and the menu was well explained by the waiters. The tea was perfect with the food. Recommend! Hopefully, we can visit again once in Philippines.

🫤 The place needs a deep cleaning and update. I saw roaches crawling around on multiple occasions. Additionally the pool tables are a centerpiece to the bar and are not maintained well at all. They are unbalanced and the felt is old. The pool sticks are all old and warped as well. I know this establis...
