    I'd definitely come back to get another cup of Americano and latte. I love the preparation, the taste, the aroma, and the ambiance. Plus the friendly and very accommodating staff to boost your day. Definitely a 10/10 for your coffee haven! A great experience and a must see cafe! 👌☕😊

    Ironically, there’s nothing bad about their cafe. Their coffee is the prime example of how good this place is. Their pastries may not be god-tier, but they’re toothsome still. I also liked how posh and minimalist-looking the cafe is. They have smiling attendants, speedy WiFi, and a youthful atmosphere. You can tell that the interior’s well thought out if the design of the toilet is still cohenrent with the overall decor of the place.

    Great coffee! Tried their hot cafe latte.. And it's one of the best I have tasted, a bit pricey for 170 pesos, but if you want to 'splurge' on coffee, you got to try this one. Their truffle donuts are the bomb! Yummy as hell hahaha... Don't sleep on their grilled cheese sandwich, that hint of peppers give it a distinct flavor!

    Was curious about this cafe since they advertise heavily on Instagram. The pesto burger was delicious. Funny because I was craving for pesto and this cafe had an interesting menu with pesto. Definitely would go back. But the iced mocha was a bit...sour? I don't know but it did not taste like mocha. I should've asked for a replacement but I was busy with work so I never minded it as much as I would. (Also points for having outlets, it's very convenient for customers with laptops.) The place was clean though I don't like the fact they allow pets inside. Don't get me wrong I love dogs and cats but I don't find it hygienic inside cafe setting. Also the restroom was out of order, I hope they fixed it on out next visit. The staff were very attentive and kind. I like the fact they offer water without us even asking. I'll give a 4-stars for now.

    I love the coffee here, I also tried the passion fruit tea it was a bit sweet for my taste. They have a very helpful barista. I'll come back again to try other drinks.

    A very simple, modern, and cozy cafe, nestled in the heart of Legazpi in Makati City. This would be a good place to bring your significant other, to work, or to just find a chill place to hang in the middle of a busy work week.

    This place is getting good reviews so I decided to visit it myself. There were many vacant tables and seats during my visit at 10am but the staff were busy preparing food for deliveries. I ordered big Spanish Latte that was served immediately. It did not disappoint, it was good! Yaste was just right, not too sweet. Then soon my pulled pork with veggies & fried rice was served. I liked it as well. Food & drinks are reasonably priced and for anyone looking for a good breakfast resto in Makati, I recommend Bad Cafe to be in that list.

    Good coffee. Too bad it is quarantine period, no dine-in allowed. Easy to locate. Quaint coffee shop perfect for post jogging at Legazpi park caffeine boost.

    Bad Cafe is the perfect cafe to hang-out/catch-up with a friend, do work, and watch short performances. We visited during Bad Words performed prose night and the ambiance of the place just matches with the event. Ordered Blueberry waffles, cold brew coffee with latte, and mocha -- all good-tasting! The coffee just smelled so good as the staff prepares it. Staff are very helpful and courteous, too. They did their best in helping in the event plus accommodating the customers so kudos to the staff! Ambiance is nice, but the place is a bit small if larger crowds decide to attend some events in the future. Overall, it's a must to visit this cafe when you're around Makati area.

    It's almost difficult to see the cafe as it is in between stores and the facade looks very small. But once you go in, it is spacious and for those who wfh, there are outlets around. Now for the food. The food/drink is great..i ordered their Ube Cream Cheese Latte and their pork tender bites - this can be shared by two. Its both crispy (skin) and tender (meat part). No need for the rice! Next time, I'll try the pastries or pasta for sure. Service is also great, too. They support the disabled staffing so that's a plus and kudos for that! I'll be back for sure!

    I always had my Spanish Latte with super cute design partnered with my favorite Waffle w/blue berry toppings. The ambiance is good for chilling by yourself or with a small group of friends. I like the concept of this place and the location. Its a place where you can chill after a long day at work, right in the middle of Makati. Fantastic coffee, friendly staff and I will always love to stay on this place. ❤️❤️❤️

    Nice pet friendly place to chill and have brunch. Hope to try the affogato next time! The crispy enoki and tortellini were yummy! Also enjoyed the calamansi pie which has a nice kick at the end. 😋😋😋

    Nice place with good ambience and good coffee (try the Horchata!). Food was well-prepared, but portions were small for the price. We ordered the Salmon Cream Cheese Bagel (good, but the bread was a bit tough) and the Sashouka (flavors were on point but bitin cause it came with only 2 small pcs of bread) Would come back if I need a quiet place to work or just tambay. (Expect a bit of waiting time because there was only one server at the time we went)

    One of the most budget-friendly coffee shops in Legazpi Village. I love it! It’s great for those working remotely as they have plenty of electric outlets and a decent WiFi connection. Love their calamansi pie – but it’s too much for just one person. Definitely bring someone with whom you can share this delightful dessert. :)

    As a coffee lover and food enthusiast from Iloilo, this place exceeded my expectations. Great, clean and cozy ambiance. The Cold Brew Latte (with added sugar as personal preference) was truly mind-blowing! Awesome food (I only ordered Fried Chicken Sandwich 😅✌🏻) and superb service! Already recommended the place to my friends so they can dine here when they visit Metro Manila. 😊🤍

    Bad cafe already had me hooked by its cozy, well-designed interiors and good cafe music... but it's the food that truly pulled me towards the end of the line. After a wonderful dine-in-to-work experience, I may be committed to visiting them more often. I've always been a fan of pleasantly strong, sharp flavors in my dessert and their Kalamansi pie has me blissfully in awe of its playful, tarty taste. I ordered it with their velvet-smooth, sweet and milky french vanilla. What a way to start the day. <3

    An FB contact invited me to like the page (I think she owns it) and it turns out it's a nice cafe hidden along the busy streets of Makati. It's along a quieter street though so that's cool. It's surprisingly wide and spacious (I was expecting a smaller cramped cafe given the nature of the area) so that's a pleasant surprise. I had business in the area for a few days so I came here twice and the service is consistent (they're nice staff). It's also heaven-sent for people who do #coffice work like me! It looks like it's designed that way, too: electrical outlets strategically placed near tables that are comfy enough to work in (and many people do, thank goddess they're professionals like me and not overgrown students who don't understand the concept of thisisnotyourunistudyhallkiddos). Free wifi, too. The coffee is great, and the non-coffee drinks are also cool. The food is simple but good, just a few selections which is understandable (try the mac and the breakfast pie quiche thing - winner!). I also love the unpretentious laidback interior design concept. Overall a good vibe. Support local yo!

    This is a lovely cafe, the excellent service coffee which is my taste. However, I was there for working with Wifi, and they only provide the Internet for 2 hours for an order. Therefore after 2 hours I have to order again 😂😅

    Good cafe for brunch or just coffee! There's also more seating than I expected, since it looks smaller from the outside. Clean interiors too! Food was served quickly. I got an iced vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich, which had a side salad for under 500, which isn't too bad! Coffee was good and the sandwich was filling enough to last until merienda. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

    Beyond coffee, Bad Café boasts a menu of delectable dishes to satisfy your cravings. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty brunch, a satisfying sandwich, or a decadent dessert, their culinary offerings are sure to please. The ingredients are thoughtfully sourced, resulting in dishes that are both flavorful and visually appealing.

  • 5/5 Kenneth C. 11 months ago on Google
    I loved it here!! Just a pricier cafe for sure. I give this place a 5 stars since pricing I assume covers the high cost of rent in Makati. Also, to maximize the price paid, make sure to stay and chill inside the place. So price would be around x 1.085 of the menu price Place is very cozy and a bit hidden. They have a few-several seats available. Not for the large crowds. For the drinks, they have literal "large" drinks. I had the Ube Latte which was very good. Not too sweet tbh. We also had a Calamansi Pie which complemented the drinks that we had. As for my date, she had the Spanish Latte. She enjoyed it. Nothing more could I ask for :) Overall: Price - 4.2/5 (around 230php /drink or pastry) Place/ambience - 4.8/5 Experience - 5/5

    Mar 2023: First time to try this small cafe near our pad. The ambience is relaxed and inviting. It's well lit and has outlets for every table so you can stay longer. I hope they put bag hangers under the tables. They offer food items for breakfast and brunch. They also have desserts and homemade ice cream. Different coffee selections and cocktails is also being offered together with pica-pica items. We ordered Lox Bagel and Honey Garlic Chicken with Garlic Rice. The bagel is delicious but I want more slices of smoked salmon to amp up the flavor. The honey garlic chicken is adequate. We also ordered hot Americano (hoping it was very strong) and the Iced Spanish Latte (which I thought it was milder in flavor). But, I was wrong...the spanish latte was stronger than the americano. So, I requested for fresh milk and brown sugar on the side. Overall, we are very happy with our food and coffee. We will surely come back to try their other food offerings and cocktails. Nov 2023: We're back! Ordered Honey Garlic Chicken, Breakfast Sandwich, Latte and Spanish Latte for brunch. Everything was delicious! I loved the coffee art and they also carry merchandise from small businesses like @captainhookedph. We also fed Zaldy aka Fifa, their adopted cat waiting outside their doorstep 😊

  • 4/5 Carol C. 2 years ago on Google
    Had iced Americano (it was not that bitter, hits the right spot; still trying to learn coffee in general). Also I had chicken and waffles which was delightful. It was a true comfort food. They could serve more syrup though per serving. It is a bit pricey.

  • 4/5 dani r. 9 months ago on Google
    Cute cafe honey glazed chicken with garlic rice -yum! Pulled pork with garlic rice- pulled pork itself too salty, should've had plain rice. Already there were hard chunks of garlic... Too hard to chew.. Homemade cola-wasn't what we expected.. It's unique but not as refreshing as we would like. Spanish latte- on the fence with this one. Calamansi pie- crust is sweet, maybe a little bit too sweet.. Since the filling itself was too sweet already..

  • 4/5 Pia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably my new favorite cafe in Makati. The vibe, the interiors and the music made me feel comfortable and I could spend hours in this place. Spanish Latte (soy substitute) is really good but iced americano was too fruity for me. Truffle donuts were nice and light. They're more like cake pops.

  • 5/5 Lolli Mae G. 1 year ago on Google
    We were supposed to go to a different cafe but there were no seats available so I used google and chance upon this cafe. I love their minimalist design, the ambiance was nice. The staff was really friendly and helpful. All the beverages we got tasted great. The latte art was really cute too, specially the cat one. 🐱

  • 5/5 Jannel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Recommended! Got their Spanish Latte (210 for a big glass) and I love how it’s so creamy and not too sweet. Can also say they use good coffee beans which is a plus. Got to stay at the window seat which is perfect for people watching 👌 would definitely come back here to try other drinks and pastries! The cookies look so good but unfortunately I was too full so I wasn’t able to try.

  • 3/5 Kristine C. 1 year ago on Google
    The french vanilla latte was alright! Staff was polite and accommodating. Solid 3.5 stars because I liked that the fried chicken had a little kick to it and it wasn't too salty. Will come back soon and review it again after trying their other coffee choices. :)

  • 5/5 Dione D. 1 year ago on Google
    Cute, quiet and clean. The staff was more than helpful and very amiable. Matcha latte was good. Calamansi pie had a dot of chili powder in the center so that was interesting! All the dishes served tasted fresh. Will defo come back soon.

  • 4/5 Ravi S. 3 years ago on Google
    Got a good Mocha with soy milk here. Along with a citrus cranberry cookie! Perfectly complementary- the zesty cookie and the creamy mocha. I also took out the Fried Chicken Pasta Box with chicken, buttered veggies, rice and pesto linguine. Very good!

  • 5/5 Julius E. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little cafe with good food and coffee. Will definitely come back :)

    Nice place to sit, well decorated, slow service considering we were the only ones there, coffee took longer than expected and was OK. Coffee was OK.
