harlan + holden coffee

I like the option to place an order myself and pay cashless. On the screen though, all you can see are the names of items and one smaller photo, so it’s hard to make a choice on what to order if you’re new to the establishment or unfamiliar with the menu. We asked a worker about looking at the descriptions to get a better idea of what we’d like, but no help. I got the campfire coffee. It was okay, too much chocolate for my taste but it may be perfect for someone else. It ended up being pretty thick after I mixed it. Ordered a sourdough steak and cheese sandwich. The taste was good but the inside was cold (see pic, cold cheese clumped in the middle but melted on the edge nicely). Would have been 10x better if it were heated properly. Also to note, totally not worth the price of almost ₱300 (FOR HALF A SANDWICH❗️) The vibe is nice—clean, bright, modern aesthetic. Love the high ceilings. I was hoping to have a slower morning, sip my coffee slowly, and read the news. Couldn’t really do that here because they only have wooden stools lol Average experience overall. I wanted to try a new place but this just wasn’t the place for me.

One of our colleague's favorite coffee place. They do have very decent drinks, very limited tea options though. I also liked the ice cream very much, super creamy and nutty, definitely can recommend. Could be a bit crowded through the day, be prepared to wait in lines. Ordering and paying system are 100% self service through the iPad, which I honestly like quite much. Overall can recommend.

The coffee shop has a unique aesthetic which may or may not appeal to you. I didn’t love it because it’s not comfortable, not very functional. But the coffee makes up for it. To me the coffee is superior to a lot of alternatives in the area. The staff are super friendly so that’s another plus. 10/10 for me

My experience was underwhelming. When I walked in, there was no greeting from the staff; everyone seemed preoccupied with their own tasks. I placed my order through an iPad and waited about 15 minutes for my latte, which was disappointing. The café itself is aesthetically pleasing, but the coffee was weak and lacked depth. The coffee pickup area was also poorly designed, too small to comfortably move around. I had to wait while others fiddled with their coffee, rather than just grabbing their cups. The baristas seemed disinterested and unhappy, which affected the overall vibe. On top of that, the music was way too loud, making it impossible to relax or get any work done. Despite the beautiful interior, the experience was ruined by the staff and atmosphere. I doubt I’ll be returning; such a letdown.

The cashless DIY payment is new to me. Havent seen anything like this. As for the coffee their campfire is not for my liking, its for kids. Avocado toast is bland. I love the cheesesteak tho, it is flavorful. The place is basic.
