In the days of Korean-style and Japanese-style cafes popping up all over the city, a homegrown cafe in Makati takes pride in highlighting Philippine coffee.

Agkaffetta is a minimalist roadside community cafe found in Makati, and if you know a bit of Iloko, you might find that “agkaffetta” sounds just like “ag kape ta”–meaning “let’s have coffee.”
Agkafetta started as a cold brew delivery service, but it grew into a physical cafe serving a wide variety of coffee and non-coffee beverages, as well as pastries and brunch bowls.

This quaint cafe takes pride in using ethically sourced coffee beans from Atok Benguet; from the farm of the award-winning Tayao Farms. You can really taste the difference in the quality of their coffee right from the first sip.

Their Matcha Caramel Lava was such a pleasant surprise for me. This delicious drink features ceremonial-grade matcha with shots of espresso. I personally loved the richness that the caramel adds to this matcha drink.
I also enjoyed their Spanish Latte with oat milk! It was such a great drink and having non-dairy options on the menu is a huge plus for me.
