The overall experience was beyond expectation. Since I work in a customer-centric environment, I was able to confirm points that made the cafe one of the best spots in SM Legazpi.
Customer Service - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ + 💖
The service was beyond expectation. The staff knows how to properly greet, they take your order and will repeat to confirm, explains the food (its content, ingredients, taste), and offers recommendation. Be sure to ask for the best seller.
Cleanliness - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The overall store is clean. I acquired the habit of checking fixtures for dust. Their cafe is well-cleaned during my visit.
Food - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The food was absolutely satisfying. I love their Garlic Rice and Irish cake. However, their best-seller (Tapa), was not available during that time. I gave four stars for food because of product availability. Your top selling item should never be out of stock, be
cause people might have the intention to visit the store just to have that meal. 🥲😘
Cafe Concept - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love the ambiance. Super relaxing.
Health and Safety - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I think they should further push a little social distancing between diners. It depends on their strategy on how can they politely enforce the health protocol while making sure that customers are comfortable. (I'm sure they can handle it. 😅🙏)
Facade - ⭐⭐⭐
SM Legazpi branch's Facade does not attract tourists. It looks like the store is closed from outside because of the warm indoor ambiance. I think they should find a countermeasure in order to attract customers, especially new tourists. Perhaps a staff outside who greets?
I assume that the cafe is popular on locals. At around 12nn, the cafe are gaining footfsll already. But, new customers might have doubts before entering because of the facade.

I was introduced to this place by my siblings. The place is very homey. I love the creativity of the owner. How they designed the restrooms and how they make use of old sewing machine as the foundation of their tables. The place is indeed a hidden gem between the houses that surounds it.
I love the pasta, the shake and how delightfully healthy i felt after eating.
This is a place I’d recommend to those who want to have quality time with their family. they won’t rush you to finish the meal, and you won’t have problem with parking.
Will be back for a better review and photos. I wish I spent more time here but I was catching a flight so I didnt take any picture. Will so next time

Just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Rizal Street is this hidden gem. 528 is stylish and comfortable, but still has the Filipino charm. The staff are really friendly and helpful in coffee selection. This has to be the best coffee we’ve had in Philippines so far.

So far, the best place I have experienced in Legazpi. Everything is just great. The place is nice, the staff are friendly and accomodating, and the food is delicious. I recommend their Chili Mocha Latte.

Was pleasantly surprised by this venue, which I went to after an enjoyable dine across the street. Staff was friendly. Coffee was great and worth the money. Coffee maestro added his magic with lotte design. Good company. Good reading material.

Their espresso shot for hot drinks is excellent. The taste of the coffee says it all. When I ordered hot caramel coffee, I expected it to be really hot but it turned out just warm. I love it (somehow) scalding my tongue whenever I drink my coffee but I got flustered upon taking my first sip and got the opposite of my expectation.
The place, though, was great and their cr was clean.

Owner is very hands-on and friendly. They are open to adjust to customer's personal preference when it comes to their drinks and would suggest their best-selling food depending on your mood. Place is very cozy. The Tinapa Pasta and Matcha Latte are the best!

We tried the chocolate chili mango and it was the bomb! Just enough of the heat to give a good kick in the throat. The sansrival was also a winner and so was their americano.

A haven for coffee lovers! I love going to cafes wherever I go and usually, when not in Metro Manila, I don't get to enjoy cafe experiences. But this one is different. They take their espresso drinks seriously. I ordered flat white and it was great! It's comparable to Costa Coffee's. Desserts are great too, especially the kalamansi tart. One thing I would suggest though is the addition of couches (real ones, not converted) to complete the experience. But a great coffee shop nonetheless. Great job!

Lovely cozy cafe set in a nice neighborhood. Great spot for getting your caffeine fix or just catching up with friends. Food and service are both very good. Don't forget to try their chicken wings or beef tapa. So good.

Bring a good book or an earphones when you're by yourself. Great place to hang out with friends if they're coffee lovers.
