Gone are the days where store chain coffee shops dominate the cafe scene. With the rise of third wave coffee, and the demand for better coffee at an affordable price from coffee connoisseurs and enthusiasts, the coffee scene is becoming more and more interesting. Quality coffee much cheaper than chain brands, a relaxing vibe and a working (and stable!) internet connection, no wonder that Commune Makati is one of those places everyone raves.


Commune have been getting lots of love from the Makati yuppies ever since they started at their Salcedo branch. Now, they relocated in a much hipper environment in Poblacion. They miss the love from the working crowd in Salcedo, but the Poblacion yuppies and residents have been so awesome and extended their love to Commune.

Aldous invited us foodies to meet the owners of Commune. Apart from coffee and pastries, we were there to try some new dishes that Commune is about to introduce to their patrons. Here are some of the items we got to try that night:


I must say that their new place kicks ass. It's quite different from their previous Salcedo branch, but the Poblacion branch was bigger and spacious. It is still a work-in-progress, but I'm liking it.


Yup, Commune have comfort dishes that will surely satisfy your hunger pangs at lunch or even during mid-afternoon. You see, Commune is not just a coffee shop per se, they also have a diverse menu selection as compared to other coffee shops.



Desserts

As for desserts, Commune have a selection of pastries you can enjoy to curb your sweet tooth. Most of their pastries are from different notable patisseries and establishments which share the same goals and aspirations with Commune..
