They quoted me 180 pesos for a latte, is that normal for a cafe there or tourist pricing? Also curious if teh tea drinks are worth trying.

Honestly 180 sounds about right for a sit-down cafe with aircon, not tourist pricing. The tea drinks are the real draw there, get the milk tea over the coffee imo.

180 for a latte in a Manila cafe is on the higher side but not crazy, especially in Makati or BGC where rent is steep. I've paid 150 to 220 in those areas. The teh tarik is the reason to go, it's properly pulled and not too sweet. If you're near a neighborhood spot outside the CBD you'll find coffee closer to 120.

Ermita spots run closer to 130

yeah CBD rent really drives it up, but the 180 probably includes VAT and service charge too, which changes the math

fair point on the CBD markup. I'd add that the neighborhood spots outside the center are where the real value is, and teh tarik at 180 is still a decent deal since it's harder to find done well.

Does anyone know a place like Great Shakes Corporation where the staff actually remembers your name and there's a regular crowd to chat with? I'm looking for something recurring, not a one-off event.
