Aligue Pasta<\/h2>\n
So good and so sinful! Roast’s Aligue Pasta is garlicky with just the right amount of citrus to counter the richness of the crab fat.<\/p>\n

Roast uses a signature beef blend for their burgers. The patties are juicy and meaty and if that’s not enough, it’s served caramelized onion, mozzarella, aioli, and a side of potato hay.<\/p>\n
Photo from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The restaurant is divided into two parts: the cafe and the dining area. The glass walls enclosing the dining area allow you to enjoy your meal with a surprisingly calming view of Katipunan Extension\u2014 perfect for pensive mornings.<\/p>\n
On display, you’ll see all the instruments they use to make a terrific cup of coffee. Roast sources their beans from a friend who happens to be a coffee roaster. The beans are roasted in small batches to ensure quality and freshness.<\/p>\n
Insider Tip:<\/strong> You can purchase a bag of beans to take home! They have Benguet (medium roast), Barako (dark roast), and an Espresso blend, which is a top-secret blend of imported beans<\/pre>\nPhoto from Booky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n At night, the cafe turns into a bar. Roast is always stocked with Beer Below Zero, gin, wine, Black Label, and Stolichnaya vodka. Although it wasn’t their intention at first, the restaurant has become a sort of watering hole for residents of the Katipunan area.<\/p>\n
Here’s some of the bar chow you can enjoy with your hard drinks:<\/p>\n
