We impulsively tried this Paik's coffee and I recognized it right away because of Culinary Class Wars. For their pastries, I think it's a bit on the expensive side. For the drinks, the price does it justice since it's massive.
The taste naman of the drinks we ordered, I think it's nothing special, but I tried their bestseller coffee, lasang Spanish Latte na matapang.If you want a really strong coffee that will keep you awake and make your heart palpitate, try it lol.
The ambience and place are good tho.Will try their other drinks next time.
Such a fun spot to hang out if you’re craving good coffee and munchies but want to avoid the usual cramped cafe’s. The space is huge and the bread display hits you the moment you walk in. There’s a ton of drinks to choose from too! Not to mention that the blue & yellow color scheme pops in pictures but is still easy on the eyes. Definitely recommended if you’re into laid back, casual vibes.

Really nice ambiance... Well-lit, spacious, and with some power outlets, so perfect if you need to do quick work. Baristas are super friendly too. I was expecting the Americano to be good since it’s popular in South Korea, but it was a bit of a letdown (bland/watery). Matcha was just okay, but we loved the pastries the most!

Great fresh fruit, yoghurt, oats, shakes, ice creams and an assortment of salads to choose from.
We didn’t try the coffee - but our order was quick. Only P350 and tasty.

Paik’s Coffee offers a bright and welcoming space that’s perfect for catching up with friends, studying, or simply enjoying a relaxed day out. The ambience is definitely one of its strongest points — it’s clean, cozy, and has that inviting café feel that makes you want to stay a little longer.
When it comes to the food and coffee, there’s still room for improvement. While the menu has variety and the servings are decent, the flavors and quality don’t quite reach the level you might expect from a specialty café. The drinks and snacks are okay, but not particularly memorable.
Highlights:
✅ Pleasant and comfortable atmosphere
✅ Great spot for conversations or light work
✅ Friendly environment
