## Quick facts

- **Category:** Work
- **Area:** Legazpi
- **Address:** 134 Legazpi Street corner C. Palanca Street, Legazpi Village, Makati
- **Hours:** Coffee 7:00-17:00; bar 18:30-1:00

Two rooms in one address. From seven in the morning until five it is one of the more serious coffee programmes in the city, a twenty-seat counter with no street signage that rewards arriving before the Legazpi lunch crowd. From half past six it becomes a cocktail bar that has held a place on Asia's 50 Best Bars for several years running. For working, take the morning: it is small, it is quiet, and the coffee is the point rather than the backdrop.

## Why go

1. A serious coffee bar by day and an Asia's 50 Best cocktail room by night
2. Twenty seats and no street signage
3. Best before the Legazpi lunch crowd

## Good to know

- **Best time:** Before eleven
- **Good for:** A focused morning, not a full day
