00:00After Roxy's blast from the past food trip, she went to Binhi, Marikina.
00:09One of the places where you can hang out and chill while enjoying different varieties of coffee from all over the Philippines.
00:18Mmm.
00:49He's obviously a bestseller.
00:50He seems to have lost weight.
00:52It's just his name.
00:53Mmm.
00:54He smells so good.
00:57Mmm.
00:58He's in love.
00:59We have three types of barako.
01:00We have regular barako, barako excelsa, and barako liberica.
01:04And then, the one I'm most proud of is the gingoog from Misamis Oriental.
01:09We also have premium ones like Mt. Apo, Atok, and Itogon.
01:14Those have a fruity taste.
01:16I'm so excited to dine here in Binhi.
01:18But it's different here because the sign says, shoes off.
01:21Please don't put your shoe slippers here.
01:24Please use the shoe rack.
01:25And we're going to open the shoe rack because actually, you can wear shoes.
01:29But if you have a choice, you can rent slippers.
01:31That's why they have slippers here.
01:33But I feel like I'm going to pass.
01:36I'm going to take off my shoes, my heels.
01:39It feels good because I can take off my heels.
01:42And actually, most of their customers are students.
01:46So, they can relax here because it's a very comfortable spot.
01:51So, let's go.
02:00I have with me now an Americano.
02:02And it's actually made from gingoog beans from Misamis Oriental.
02:06So, if you want to wake up, if you want to feel alive, this is your go-to.
02:11Okay.
02:12Let's taste it.
02:16It's strong.
02:17It's like a kayak.
02:18I like it.
02:19I really like it.
02:20Okay.
02:21This is my Biscoff Cruffle.
02:26The amount of their whipped cream and Biscoff is generous.
02:29Well, I didn't smell it.
02:31I put this.
02:33Okay.
02:34Let us taste.
02:36Mmm.
02:37I like its unique concept because it's not a typical waffle or croissant.
02:43They really made something original.
02:45So, this can be one of their signature dishes.
02:48And personally, I'm going to go back and forth with this.
02:53Aside from their strong hot drinks,
02:55they also offer the best iced coffee-based and non-coffee-based drinks that are perfect for coffee adventurers.
03:03I really like sea salt lattes because this trended after the pandemic.
03:08And during, actually, the pandemic.
03:10And I'm excited to try.
03:12Mmm.
03:13I really like it because I'm a sweet tooth.
03:16I like things that are sweet.
03:18And I like that there's a good mixture of sweetness and saltiness.
03:22So, I think it's the perfect blend for me.
03:25This is another latte.
03:27This is Cafe Almond Roca.
03:29I'm curious if it's strong.
03:31It looks strong.
03:37Actually, it's not strong.
03:38In a way, it's also sweet.
03:40It's like a light coffee.
03:44You can really taste the almond.
03:47So, it's good.
03:48It's like my afternoon drink.
03:51It's like my afternoon drink.
03:52It's going to be my go-to for the afternoon.
03:55And then, next, we have the Orange Americano.
03:58And this has barako beans.
04:00So, this one, we're going to stir it.
04:02It looks good.
04:07It's strong.
04:08It's like chocolate with orange.
04:11It tastes like that with the kick of Americano coffee.
04:15So, it's also good.
04:17It looks like there's a competition with my sea salt because my favorite is matcha.
04:21So, this one is not just matcha.
04:23It's matcha strawberry.
04:25Mmm. Look at that.
04:28Mmm.
04:31It's different as a matcha drinker.
04:33It's different for me because it has strawberry.
04:35But surprisingly, it really works.
04:37It's so good.
04:39You know how matcha tastes healthy.
04:42And then, you mix it with the sweetness of strawberry.
04:44It tastes like a treat.
04:46So, I had such a great experience here at Binhi.
04:48I love the fact that there are a lot of choices.
04:52From coffee to non-coffee for casual drinkers and coffee drinkers.
04:57All the choices are here.
05:01I'm going to go home with my dingbo.
05:05I'm from nearby.
05:07So, it's going to be easy for me to come here every once in a while.
