ON A SUNDAY AT A CAFÉ I just got home and I got nothing good to do, so I’m gonna rate this café right here, right now. I just discovered this café noong lumagpas ako ng konti sa bababaan ko, I looked up sa robinson’s supermarket and found something cute sa taas, so I searched up Yani’s café sa google maps and added it to my favorites. This day has been crazy for me and this café is a part of it haha! *inserted the blog I’ve posted for the story time* I ordered hot mocha latte, it was gooddd!!! I don’t know why I ordered pasta when I just ate at home pero ayun, kinain ko siya, fan ako ng Mayonnaise (boss Monty!!!) pero not on my food bruh. Ayun, 2 lang silang crew I guess(?). Pero wala naman gaanong tao so it’s fine, didn’t wait that long. Commending the CLAYGO rule! All restos/cafés with this rule, you have my heart! And it’s also amazing na ikaw magseaegregate ng mga pinagkainan mo; from your wastes, used napkins, plates, utenstils & glasses/cups. I even want to wash them no haha! I was not able to document that part because palabas na rin ako. Also, their set up is an al fresco one, so if you wanted an AC, don’t go here. Eme, go here pa rin may tornado fan maman sila, however!!! my low porosity hair cannot!!!! But it’s fine, I enjoyed reviewing naman here. Ayun nga lang, who can fully concentrate when they’re playing Taylor Swift’s song the entire timeee? Tell me, how could you? Watch my clip, mapaparelapse ka talaga while solving hahahaha. Since this is my first day reviewing for CSE, my last day would be here as well! Thank you and see you again on the last Sunday of February!

It's like a secret cafe at the heart of Pasig. When you go to this place it feels like you have a lot of time in the world. They have books and board games for entertainment. You can also donate old books there. The paintings on their walls are for sale. Ambience is nice. They are eco friendly. Al fresco dining but they have huge fans. A plus for the vegetarian options they serve. Do not forget to CLAYGO.

Alfresco dining spot in Pasig. Can get humid at times. I like how their pasta is always al dente. I also tried their sandwiches before and it was also good. My go-to order for the drinks is their matcha latte and it keeps me awake. Don’t forget that this is a self-serve restaurant and clean as you go.

The cafe looks amazing and has lots of tables plus sockets for those who want to work. Staff is very accommodating and it was amazing to see them have Deaf staff members! Only downside is they keep the cafe windows open and only use fans. Which got pretty hot by the time I got there. Below it is a busy street in Kapasigan and can be pretty noisy. Food is good but not cheap. Same range as mall cafes in the metro.

the ambiance is nostalgic, the fresh air is felt in the indoor area, with wide windows open. You can hear the busy street buzzing w the vehicle noises mixed with the good music choice. A good place to savor the moment. The staff is deaf - great employment practice on equality. The wa is filled with beautiful photographs taken by Filipino photographers whcih are all up for sale to support them. Plants add to the homey ambiance.

Super nice ambiance with impressive food and book selections. I was able to enjoy some alone time despite it being almost packed at 8 PM on a Sunday. Definitely worth revisiting! Their signature drink, the Iced Dolce Vita, was phenomenal that I forgot to take a photo 'cause I downed it in seconds! The fries were for sharing and perfectly cooked as well. Pro tip: You’ll know a café or restaurant is serious when they’ve perfected the most basic items on their menu. And I think they’ve done just that here.

Yani Cafe is my comfort haven.  I've lost track the number of times I've been here ever since I was introduced to this place by my friends. I was invited over for a little catching up (and it was also probably their way to comfort me since I just lost my husband that time). And I never stop coming ever since. My kids love this place, too. They have this little library corner and even has some old school games you can play with.This is where my kids learned scrabble and every visit includes our little tradition of playing this game. I think I'm always finding a reason to go here, whether it's a "me time" or a family time or to reward the kids for their academic achievements. The warm and inviting atmosphere paired with the delicious food makes this place my favorite.
