The wife and husband duo that runs this humble cafe are amazing human beings. As I walked into the cafe, I was greeted by Tim who was a busy bee at the moment, while his wife, Wendell, helped me out at the register.Their observations of my background and ethnicity were astute as their assumptions were all correct. From here on out, we instantly connected and I had a great time chatting with the duo about our lives.Wendell helped me with my order, Tocino Silog & a Latte, to help me gain the energy I needed for my Friday workday. I was told that their Tocino was the top hit with the customers and that they don't use food coloring (this really made me happy and was a clear sign of the quality of food I was about to experience).The Tocino Silog was freshly prepared with an immaculate presentation (see pic attached). The flavor of the Tocino was savory with a mild sweetness (this was great for me as I wasn't looking for something too sweet). The Latte also paired well with the Tocino Silog as it too was mildly sweet and complimented the flavors of my hefty breakfast pretty well!The cafe space was well decorated with retro items here and there. The Christmas decorations were still up and I felt like I was transported to a Holiday Themed cafe.Ate Wendell and Kuya Tim, I'll be back to try your other dishes!

Suuuuuch nice staff. Traveling far on a rainy day, there’s not much that beats warm people and a warm meal.

Good food and friendly staff..

Excellent Food. Great place to Stop even if your not waiting for a train. Friendly Service. Breakfast plates are spot on. The Garlic Rice is something else. Moist and flavorful...You have to give this place a try..

A great place to beat the heat. They have air-conditioning and strong coffee.

Great food and amazing service! I love this place. The owners were so kind and made us feel like family. Definitely coming back here again:)

Great food and friendly service! A hidden gem!

Awesome experience while waiting for my train and wanted to get a bite.

Delicious coffee, and a very relaxing atmosphere! My only regret is that they'd run out of cheesecake by the time I arrived.
