The combo of good coffee and chilly weather is hard to top, but this cozy cafe manages to take it up a notch. When beautiful art, delicious grub and affordable prices are added to the mix, what more can you ask for?
Java Jazz Coffee Shop is like an art gallery, but you can lounge on the floor and order from their extensive menu. Go for their local brews, Café De Tagaytay or Kapeng Pinoy, and enjoy it with hot bread. They offer tons of pandesal variations, from kesong puti to tuna and mushroom.

After a lot of public day dreaming, Janice de Belen and her son Chef Luigi Muhlach finally opened a restaurant of their own just a few days ago. Amacena specializes in Filipino fusion cuisine, so expect Pinoy classics executed with exciting twists. Typical adobo, for example, is transformed into bruschetta with kesong puti and grape salsa.
