kape isla

If Kape Isla had a branch somewhere other than snooty, pretentious Serendra, I’d probably spend many hours in there, buried in my books and drinking their delicious coffee. The coffee served at Kape Isla is made using Philippine-grown coffee beans from Benguet, Batangas, Tagaytay, and Sultan Kudarat.  Ultimately, Kape Isla is more than just a coffee shop.  Its aim is to boost the Philippine coffee industry by bringing together different local coffee merchants under one roof.

The Filipino theme of this quiet, cozy, dark wood-furnished coffee shop goes beyond the home-grown coffee beverages. Kape Isla also serves a variety of kakanins, including a delicious bibingka that you must try to complete your Kape Isla coffee experience.

The first thing you’ll notice about the bibingka at Kape Isla is its unique presentation. Instead of serving you bibingka on a banana leaf, which is how it’s usually done at restaurants and roadside vendors, the banana leafed-bibingkas are placed on a carved wooden plate. Placed diagonally on the wooden plate are the neatly-arranged condiments of muscovado sugar, shredded coconut, queso de bola and salted duck egg. A few rose petals add a finishing touch to this delightful dessert. The bibingka itself is soft and moist, with hints of butter and cane sugar.Kape Isla is located at the ground floor of Serendra in Fort Bonifacio, across Market! Market!

    It’s a cool coffee shop, the store design is very Filipino. We need more trendy shops out there to compete with starbucks.
