Everything you need in one spot!
Christmas is fast approaching, but before we can truly enjoy the holiday season, we all need to finish our pending school projects and client presentations first. Sometimes we find ourselves more productive in a cozy cafe, as long as there’s free Wi-Fi, good food, and the perfect cup of joe. Lucky for you guys, we’ve listed down some of the best work spots around Katipunan for your last minute grinds before the Christmas season.
For more work spots around the metro, we’ve also covered places like Makati, BGC, Tomas Morato, and Kapitolyo.
Brown Paper Project Cafe
Brown Paper Project is more than a cafe – it’s a coffee community. Started in November 2015 by a group of young professionals who first met each other in a coffee shop, the Rosa Alvero hideaway is a go-to for those in search of a quiet place to work. The coffee’s really damn good too.
