Coffee Shop Review: Afters Coffee House, Taytay, Rizal, Philippines

ByMarjorie Gavan Published on Updated on

Google Maps is nifty; it allows me to discover coffee shops that I would never have discovered on my own. It’s how I found out about the three coffee shops I visited in Rizal, Feynman Coffee, Typica Coffee, and the subject of this post, Afters Coffee House (not to be confused with Afters, that dessert place in Quezon City).

📍Coffee shop – Afters Coffee House location

Afters Coffee House sits in a quiet neighborhood, occupying a little space on a corner street. It’s located in Taytay, Rizal. I went there via a motorbike taxi.

🖼️ Coffee shop – Afters Coffee House ambiance and interiors

The space is tiny, probably one of the smallest coffee shops I’ve ever visited. It has lime-washed walls and coffee bar, table bars and stools, and a few collapsible chairs. There are also additional seatings outside.

The coffee shop was packed when I went there, so I had to wait for the place to clear before taking the photo above.

Most customers were teenagers and seemed to frequent Afters Coffee based on their demeanor and how easily they interacted with the baristas.

💻 Coffee shop – Afters Coffee House WiFi

I asked if they had WiFi because I saw a Globe router on the wall. They said they don’t have WiFi, though. Maybe it’s only for the use of the staff; I’m not sure.

🔌 Coffee shop – Afters Coffee House electrical outlets

I didn’t see any electrical outlets in the coffee shop.

🥯 Coffee shop – Afters Coffee House food

Cinnamon bun  

Price: USD 2.63 (PHP 55)

I saw a few pastries in their small deli case. I ordered a cinnamon bun. There was nothing special about it, but considering the price, I guess I shouldn’t ask for too much.

☕ Coffee shop – Afters Coffee House drinks

Salted caramel latte

Price: USD 1.87 (PHP 110)

I had a Salted caramel latte, and it was cloyingly sweet. I asked for soy milk instead of regular milk, but I think it ruined the coffee because the soy milk greatly subdued the coffee taste. Maybe it’d taste better with regular milk? I’m not sure.

Author’s Note: Coffeehan’s scale pertains to Mara’s general feel about a coffee shop. The rating is based on her personal opinion, which is primarily influenced by the coffee’s taste more than the place’s aesthetics. The rating doesn’t aim to change, nor does it represent another person’s view of the coffee shops featured on this blog.
