After Dada and I had a sumptuous lunch at Pink's, we headed to Harlan + Holden Coffee. We passed by this café lots of times already, however, never got the chance to go in because lines were usually long every weekend. But since it was a Thursday afternoon, there were no people inside. And so, we decided to give it a try already. The 11:11 couple also realized that we still got some time anyway, so we were like, okay, let us grab our iced coffees first before going home. It was drizzling too anyway, so more, more reasons to stay for a while. Yup, we looked for a shade first instead of walking in the pouring rain. And you know, we just cannot resist it, eh. Because coffee as many say. Just because. Because coffee~period 💖 Harlan + Holden has been known as a popular clothing line for women. However, just recently, the brand also ventured into the coffee shop industry. And for sure, no one is complaining! Its sophisticated fashion wears also show off through the elegant interiors of harlan + holden coffee, also known as because coffee. Its timeless pieces also reflect at the coffee offers. Indeed, Harlan + Holden continues to make history as their because coffee shop makes its name as one of the great cafés too! Call it harlan + holden coffee or because coffee, they are basically just the same, so there is nothing to worry about. And speaking of no worries, the Harlan + Holden intended this as a cashless coffee shop even before the pandemic happened! Meaning, fewer contact transmissions and faster orders! Customers can pay with credit or debit cards. And, can even order through the mobile app, so no long line queues as you are ordering in advance. Saved time, no rush, and less stress definitely! Wow! To be honest, Dada and I felt intimidated going in the harlan + holden coffee. First, we had no idea about the shop. We just know that it is nice-looking. Second, everyone knows because coffee is posh and we are not used to those kinds of spaces, so... Yuh. But it is true! because coffee is shala to the highest level! The gray, gold-outlined walls, out-of-this-world, illusion tables, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, yellow lights, plus the tall plants around are just so lit. The ambiance exudes both museum and hotel vibes for me, so because coffee is a unique café in my opinion. The interiors are proven minimalistic, but stylish. And as the Gen Z kids always say, aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, it gears to the trend. You already know the mode of payment and the café design details, but how about the real thing -- their coffee? Well... Apart from the sleek interiors and on-point branding of harlan + holden coffee, there are different kinds of coffees offered at the bar. All kinds of coffee drinkers would love here as they have the classic and new coffee choices like Americano, long black, flat white, cappuccino, macchiato, espresso, mocha, matcha, cream latte, brown sugar latte, cortado, pour over, and the like. You are the one who would decide if you are getting it hot or iced too. And you can even choose among the house blend, decaffeinated blend, or single origin. Add-ons are also available if you want. To be honest, harlan + holden coffee lived up to my expectations. Super admired that I already smelled the aroma of coffee right when Dada and I entered the shop. Grateful too that the staff assisted us since we were first-timers. Because of him, we enjoyed our iced coffees and experience here. I had the most hyped and worth-the-hype Sea Salt Latte while Dada had the other bestseller called Madagascar. I am not saying this because I fell in love with its clean coffee shop design, but looks like I really found a new favorite café. Because Seattle's Best Coffee, my first and forever fave, is really good, especially in frappes. But here? The coffee itself, just the coffee, is so superb already! It really goes well to its name -- because coffee. Just having the first sip and I already knew, I would love it here because the blend perfectly suits my taste buds. Cutie too because similar to milk tea, drinkers can customize the sweetness of their coffee too. My only hope though... If I would go back next time, I wanna stay on the counter side. Yup! The old side. The first and original one is the part with the common table in the middle and the iconic because coffee sign. And I guess, since there are many patrons already, they extended their café and voila! The interiors featured here in this blog post refer to their new wing. Since the delta variant is waving, Dada and I decided to go with the lesser crowd, so we ended up in the renovated part of the shop. But next time, I would love to try the experience in the original café side. Also, wanna try some pies and pastries once allowed to dine again. I heard their snacks are just as amazing as the coffee, so I am looking forward to it. So in conclusion, it is a yes that harlan + holden coffee is a must-try! Why? Because coffee. That is just the answer to everything 💖 because coffee / harlan + holden coffee One Bonifacio High Street by Ayala Malls, Taguig https://www.facebook.com/harlanholden.coffee/
