As media thanksgiving parties for 2019 is statrting to tone down, we finally had a chance to drop by for this Korean-based coffee which had it's overseas branch in Singapore and now in the Philippines.
Coffeesmith Philippines is one of the many stores that is expanding right now in Festival Mall in Alabang especially in the River Park section. To be honest, we already saw a number of posts from some invited media and influencers so we took the dive to it with our two review units on hand while trying to rid off those pending blog posts.
We did not had a chance to have a pic of the entire menu but with the wide array of pastries on display, it was a-ok but we chose to pick one from their all-day breakfast menus which is Americano coffee and Croque Monsieur sandwich for 220 pesos. They also have 4 other choices from under to a bit over 200 pesos.
What we love is the ambiance and there are variety of table options available from duo, group or for solo like us which after an hour, a person with his laptop also chose to be on the "singles" group. They have free WiFi with no minimum amount to be spent but based on our speedtests, it was not enough for us for the speeds that we need to empower our blog's dashboard. Gong to the food that we ordered and the service, it was pretty good and even agreed for our simple request of additional glass of water.
If you are going to Coffeesmith to dine only, yes it was a very good idea as it was outside of the main mall area and they open as early as 7 am but for work and dine (like what we did), sorry but it's not as Globe's LTE will instantly gonna drop you to H+ and Smart with slow LTE there (I hope Festival Mall will gonna work on something which is kinda weird that the mall is already 2 decades).
