There’s a new hangout that’s filled with hugot lines.


If you can’t get enough of hugot lines, you can eat or drink your feelings at Hugot Café in Tondo, Manila. It opened just last April and has since been amusing customers with their witty hugot lines that people can relate to.

Some interesting items on their menu include the Kapeng Matapang na Kaya Kang Ipaglaban (PhP40) and their hugot shakes (PhP90 each), like Paasa (mocha), Stick to One (chocolate), Walang Tayo (cookies and cream), Pabebe (vanilla), and Pa-fall (coffee crumble). Feeling hungry and need something quick? You have two options: Loner (Php50), one piece of waffle with a scoop of ice cream and syrup, and Couple (PhP80), two pieces of waffle with a scoop of ice cream and syrup. On Sundays at 5:00 PM, Hugot Café hosts an open mic session where people can take the microphone and read hugot poems.

Raise your wands and feel the magic at The Nook Café.


Harry Potter fans unite! Whether you fancy Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, you can find your dose of Harry Potter at The Nook Café.

But even if you’re not a fan, you can still enjoy hanging out at The Nook Café because of the tasty snacks they serve. For example, they have some bacon-wrapped chicken (PhP140), cheese potato wedges (PhP95), and, surely, butterbeer (PhP150). Their GoyazillaSaur (PhP75), which has local chocolates and resembles a halo-halo, and matcha hazelnut (PhP100) are a must-try.

The Nook Café is open daily, following this schedule: Tuesday to Friday, 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM; Saturday, 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM; Sunday, 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
