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.
