00:00Are you looking for a place in Katipunan to study, hang with your friends, or maybe get your coffee fix?
00:04Well, I have the thing for you.
00:20Our first stop is here at Canto Freestyle Breakfast located at F. de la Rosa, Katipunan Avenue.
00:26A great way for us to start a productive day is with food for the brain.
00:30We tried the Breaded Pork Chop and 3-Layer Fluffy Pancakes paired with Iced Americano and Espresso,
00:36which is a good meal to have for a brainstorming session with your team.
00:40We also had the Chorizo de Cebu, Tapa Benedict, Cori-Cohi, and Ube and White Chocolate Latte.
00:48One of the unique things about this branch is its coffee-cina, a dedicated space for students to kick off their sessions with a hearty meal.
00:55We talked to Jay, the Head of Creatives at Canto Freestyle Breakfast to talk about why students come here to fuel their day.
01:02We were already planning to open up another branch here in Katipunan.
01:06And then the concept of this cafe is actually to have a safe space for people to work.
01:12The majority of the people that come in are students who, as I've said earlier, are pulling all-nighters and hanging out with friends.
01:19Of course, we're sticking to our nature wherein we would want the students to feel that this is like their second home.
01:28It's a place where they can feel safe while they're working in the middle of the night, where they don't need to worry about their well-being.
01:38Not everyone who are awake in the middle of the night are going out to eat. They want a place where they can work.
01:46What better way to do that than being in a place where you can have an unlimited supply of caffeine plus coffee-cina?
01:54If you're looking for a spot to have your team meetings and jumpstart the project, this place could be the right choice for you.
01:59Looking for a more peaceful study space? Let's move on to the next spot on the list.
02:05OpenSpace is the ultimate sidekick for all of your productivity needs.
02:09This study haven is located right at the heart of Esteban Abada, a co-working space just a street away from Katipunan Avenue.
02:16If you plan to study alone, study as a pair, or even with a group, OpenSpace is the spot for you.
02:21They offer complimentary coffee to fuel your productivity.
02:24Here at OpenSpace, you don't need to worry about Wi-Fi or sockets.
02:27We talked to a few students as well about their experiences here at OpenSpace.
02:33Hi everyone, my name is Eloy and I'm from the University of Santa Tomas.
02:37Hi, I'm Andy and I'm from Ateneo de Manila University.
02:41Studying here in OpenSpace really gives me a sense of environment because working alone sometimes can lead you to a spiral.
02:50And here at OpenSpace, it literally is an open space so you can interact.
02:55For me, with what I'm studying, it requires a lot of focus because we use a lot of computers and sometimes we also have projects.
03:04It's very collaborative so like what you said, we can co-exist with other people who are also doing their own thing.
03:11Yeah, and having comments on each other's projects has been such a great thing to do here.
03:19Well that sums it up for OpenSpace. Let's check out other places here in Katipunan.
03:26If you're not really on a tight deadline and you just want to hang out with friends or be by yourself, Beanleaf Coffee and Tea is the spot for you.
03:34They offer a variety of food and drinks from rice boxes that you can enjoy alone to snack platters that you can enjoy with your friends.
03:40If you're not a coffee drinker, indulge in a variety of tea or dairy-based drinks as well.
03:47Hi, I'm Fiona and I'm from Ateneo.
03:50I'm Zoe and I'm also from Ateneo.
03:53For me, Beanleaf has sockets and Wi-Fi and my laptop dies a lot so it's really useful.
04:00Yeah, for me, I also like this cafe for group studying.
04:05So like our blockmates, a lot of us, if there's like an exam, we usually stay here and then put the tables together and study together.
04:14Craving something different? Cara Cafe uses carabao's milk in their drinks, creating a unique coffee experience.
04:20If you're the type of person who likes to study alone, this could be the spot for you.
04:26Hi, my name is Kate Del Rosario. I'm an operational manager here in Cara Cafe.
04:31The main idea of Cara Cafe came from carabao milk because we wanted to create a unique coffee experience.
04:38The first thing that students will ask once they enter our cafe is if we have Wi-Fi or if we have enough space and also if we have plugs.
04:47So those three are the main things that they look for.
04:50We would like to reintroduce carabao milk to them.
04:53We want to make sure that carabao milk will be given the spotlight again in the coffee industry.
04:59I see myself coming here often and finishing my pending tasks with a cold drink and a cookie.
05:03Speaking of pending tasks, our last spot on the list is a great week ender.
05:08Let's head out to our last stop.
05:17We need to beat a deadline without sacrificing time and effort.
05:21Need to beat a deadline without sacrificing time with your friends? Consider Nodo's Coffee Lounge.
05:27Its inviting ambiance fits a variety of studying styles.
05:31Here we enjoy stress-free and meaningful conversations while having a productive study session.
05:36We can also have a flexible night out in between socializing and passing a requirement.
05:42Hi, I'm Ben.
05:43Hi, I'm Pat. I'm a barista.
05:46Hi, I'm Ben.
05:47Hi, I'm Pat. I'm a barista of Nodo's Coffee Lounge.
05:51Our ambiance is chill. We don't turn up the music so it's quiet.
05:58That's what our customers want.
06:06So those are some of the study spots here along Katipunan.
06:09Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a little jealous. I really wish we had these spots when we were students.
