This Vietnamese Café in Taytay Will Make Your Day Sweeter 

If you can’t get enough of looking at scenic cafés, you’re not alone. Scouting out hole-in-the wall cafés and rooftop eateries is something that we love to do, on top of delivering you the latest news on travel. Here’s the newest hidden gem that we found: a Vietnamese-inspired café named Drip Kofi, tucked away inside the Beverly Hills Subdivision in Taytay, Rizal. 

Drip Kofi is a minimalist coffee shop that specialises in bold and authentic coffee sourced from Vietnam. As the name of the shop suggests, their coffee is made by letting boiling water drip slowly through finely ground coffee.
