With a long night ahead, we were in search ofa relaxing atmosphere that would get us caffeinated. That led us to #kabiserakapé -half coffeeshop, half art installation.The walls help guide the feel of the atmospherewhile the #ubelatte and #bibingka control that bodily urge from wanting to get up and hustle along to admiring the smile of the sun. Friendly faces fill the seats and a true feel of #filipino culture started to take shape.It was suggested that we should admire those last few sips of the latte and enjoy the bits of ube floating at the bottom [yep, well suggest the same!]. The bibingka (aka coconut rice cake) has a sweet buttery kick that solved both our breakfast and dessert feels. Getting to know the people who make the place tick really promoted the community feel we were left with, and the reason that will have us coming back! IG@kabiserakape IG@vietfilifoodies
Ive been coming to this Phillipino inspired cafe many times since it opened up. It has an inviting quirky vibe and features cartoony artwork on their walls and ceilings by Peter Marco.Their most popular drinks are the Almond Chaitado, Ube Latte, and Good Morning OJ, which Ive had all of them. The most interesting drink is the Good Morning OJ, which is a combination of espresso and orange juice, it looks really pretty because the 2 drinks dont mix.They also serve Philippine influenced foods here, such as Adobo (pulled pork and chicken panini) and Langgonisa (sausage panini). They were crispy and juicy when I had them. Im coming back for them laters.Also ask for Latte art work, their cafe baristas have awesome skill, they can draw bunnies, cats, and anything cute you can think of.Also, its hysterical, but there is free nail polish for the customers to use.If youre ever in the area, make sure you visit Kabisera for a visual and tasty experience.
Tasty ice cream at a super chill place. Excellent friendly service
The vibe is lovely with pieces of culture that make it homey. The owner is genuinely welcoming..very rare to find that in this area with booming business.. Recommed the ginger latte or the new turmeric.
Such a lovely little cafe! Just opened at the end of December. Came at 7pm on Monday and was impressed with the store-wide art/murals! Lots of unique tea and coffee choices. Wonderful atmosphere - pretty calm and decent prices. Sadly no bathroom. Since whynot closed, this is a great alternative coffee shop with WiFi, snacks and chill vibe.
The ice cream is very delicious.. Highly recommended to everyone ..
Owners are awesome & its a great comfy place to & relax after a long day. Thank you.
I actually stumbled upon this dessert spot randomly, but I am glad I did!I will say that having a Filipino background definitely has a say in how much I enjoyed seeing the variety of flavors and trying the ice cream here. I was able to try most of their flavors and opted to get Ube and Calamansi (a rotating flavor) as my actual purchase. The Ube had the right amount of flavor and I was pleasantly surprised by the Calamansi. Looking at the list of flavors, I did not have Calamansi as the one I would get but after trying it, I had to get it! It has the right amount of lime and orangey-flavor.Their other flavors were also delcious, such as the Lankgka (jackfruit), Boku-Macapuno (coconut), and Choc-Nut (made with Choc*nuts!). The staff was very friendly, and I definitely would look to return here again to see what other homemade flavors they have on the menu!
Good coffee, Filipino and American desserts. Unique establishment in a unique city.
Place is very family oriented. Very good bibingka, coffee and tea
Love the cozy coffee shop vibe and their latte is pretty awesome as well.
Love the art, love the friendly service. So much charm.
Wonderful offerrings and very cool art! Lovely people and great chat!
Cute snug cafe squeezed into Allen St on the Lower East Side.the colorful interior is filled with fun art + cartoons. there are 3-4 small tables (each seating 2) and there are a few stools. the seating options are limited as this is a very small cafe. the space is clean and kooky with eclectic decor items. the menu of coffee drinks, teas, sweet eats, and savory bites is posted behind the order counter. perfect place for quiet chats over coffee and/or simple eats. this is NOT a laptop cafe as space is limited (THANK GOD for work-free places)!much like the chilled out vibe of the cafe, the prices of pretty much everything served here is pretty relaxed. i wouldnt say cheap, but of value...especially for Manhattan.i really like the drip coffee OR Americano when i am on the go. service is pretty quick. coffee is hot and relatively strong for that weekend caffeine kick before the gym or post-boozy brunch.the staff? friendly-ish, not too chatty.drops mic cuz im caffien(d)ing
