The Curator-Specialty Coffee, Legaspi Village, Makati, Philippines

 

Curating the best coffee experience in Metro Manila...


Here it is… The Curator by far…and I mean a long way ……serves the best coffee in Metro Manila! 




The Curator has an industrial feel with its exposed ceilings and raw concrete. The interior styling gives this joint a hipster vibe. My main criticism of this place is the lack of free Wifi.(peace) I love almost everything else about this place specially their passion for coffee. 


The space used to be a store room which has been converted to a coffee shop by day and speakeasy by night.



For the sweet tooth…


A large selection of syrups (Left to right)  White, Agave(missing), Honey, Brown, Muscovado and Coconut.   

They have the following coffees available: 

Kenya Wakulima


WOW Blend 




Panama Carmen Estate 





Dark Matter Theory




IMHO:

My favourite is their Dark Matter Theory which is a blend of Columbia Bambuco Excelso, Guatemala Agua Hal, and India Kaapi Special Robusta Natural.


The barista describes the coffee as ...full bodied with a robust dark chocolate profile.


I certainly agree it has a great balance with  moderate acidity, hints of chocolate and just the right amount of tartness. Perfect for my daily espresso or three… :)




So here is the low down…  

It's a hidden coffee shop/speakeasy outside a wine showroom on the corner of C Palanca/Legaspi.


They serve coffee daily from 7:00 AM to 6:00PM, it converts to a speakeasy at 7:00PM till late. 

N.B. they stop serving coffee at 6:00PM and start serving cocktails.  

The food menu is limited but there are plenty of great dining spots in the village.
