Frank & Dean Coffee

The quiet one in BGC, and the reason to be up early. Frank & Dean opens at six on weekdays and runs to two in the morning, which makes it the rare Manila cafe that will take both a pre-work session and a late one. The music stays low, the crowd is mindful, and there are sockets along the long communal table rather than clustered at one wall. BGC is generally the harder neighbourhood for laptop work, so a room built to be sat in for hours is worth knowing about.
