Lạc Cafe

The cafe's scent stood out; it was musky and amber-y, like a 5-star hotel. 

Visually they had a hidden cafe vibe, with coffee-making instruments, multiple espresso machines, drip brewers, grinders and burlap sacks.

The equipment was all well-known enthusiast gear, screaming "we're passionate about coffee". Part of the charm was the this cute fluffy Shih tzu walking around.

I chatted with the barista who was also the owner of the dog and the cafe! He mentioned they were a supplier for coffee beans to specialty cafes in the Philippines. Always a good sign.

The furniture was solid and the wifi was sufficient; good for working for a few hours.

The coconut milk espresso was really good! The coconut milk was a little sweet, and complemented their lighter roast espresso. This was new to me and something I'll be ordering again. 

Their oat latte was delicious.

The drinks were both above average but the star was the burnt basque cheesecake. Not too sweet, tangy, and rich.
