I’m a sucker for cafes so I think this cozy and IG-worthy corner of Makati is perfect for coffee and tea gatherings or even a break from WFH setup!
CCL CAFÉ is located at 910 A. Arnaiz ave., Makati (in front of The Residences at Greenbelt).
CCL or “Café, Chá e Lembranças” (Portuguese) translates “coffee, tea & memories”. Mr. Nikko Baluyot, the CEO and Founder of CCL CAFÉ, aims to provide a beautiful place for everyone to create beautiful memories in.
I’d say they were able to achieve that as CCL Cafe is a dreamy place to be in. It’s cozy to be first date worthy, relaxed to be a barkada hangout and conducive to being a WFH or online school area.
How to Get There:
CCL Cafe is readily available on the Grab or Waze app ( https://goo.gl/maps/rUfQuSxSsNaxed2X7 ) . It is right across The Residences at Greenbelt, in between Salud and Consuelo Bldg and Design Studio.
When you arrive at the building, you’ll see a gorgeous art installation and on the left is an aesthetic semi-spiral staircase! Go up (don’t forget to take a picture or two!) and you’ll see the Pinterest-like cafe (Yes, CCL Cafe is on the second floor, which is a plus for me!) Personally, I like staying at the upper levels of cafes – the view is usually better than the ground floor level and also it helps keep the hustle and bustle noise down. I can concentrate better and sometimes the overhead view inspires me better too haha!
CCL Cafe has a fast internet connection and power outlets are readily available! Very convenient!
Their restroom is gender neutral and read – a bidet and a shower! The lighting is pretty good too, so don’t hold back on those mirror selfies!
Mr. Nikko Baluyot is an inspiring young entrepreneur who started his own company at the age of 23, and now that he is 26, he leads a multi-industrial corporation.
I highly, highly recommend their Creamy Salmon Soup, which is Nikko’s own recipe!. He shared that he came up with this dish when he was trying to be healthier without sacrificing flavor. It’s perfect for those looking for a delicious and filling dish without breaking the bank and your diet!
The generous serving is priced at just Php240!
For the drinks, you will not regret trying their Caramel Macchiato! (is this even a surprise that I am recommending this? LOL!)
CCL Cafe also offers a wide variety of coffee, frappes, milk teas and fruit teas.
Here’s a copy of their menu as well!
Heads up though, there are limited parking spaces available but Astoria Greenbelt is near enough should you need additional parking space.
Thank you, CCL Cafe team, for inviting me to your soft opening. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and your food (and serving size!) is worth every penny! I will surely be back to try out your other dishes! (Jan 23)
CCL cafe is located at 910 Arnaiz Avenue, Brgy. San Lorenzo, Makati.
