Ginto Cafe Session is very cozy and perfect for bonding with friends because you can borrow and play board games. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. You can also buy anime-themed stuffs and other items made by local artisans in the cafe. For food, I ordered their Chicken Alfredo Pasta and Apple Pie. The pasta is so creamy with lots of chicken bits and generous serving. I also loved their apple pie because it is not too sweet and I think it will be a great pair with their coffee or tea. I highly recommend Ginto Cafe Session and we will definitely visit there again.
Great place to hang out since they have great coffee and you can play boards with your friends. The owner also Guillermo was so accomodating and warmly welcome us. Besides, is a cosplay workshop area. Surely you will have fun and good memories in this place.
Went here around lunch time and on a week day. Probably why there wasn't a lot of people but only a few that time. It's a very quiet nook aside from the blasting opm band songs. Plenty of board games to choose from. There is a cute cosplay and merch shop inside that students to go to. Ordered Bacon Arrabiata, it was sweet. I thought there will be spice since in the menu there was spice level so kinda disappointed. It was also oily for my taste. My boyfriend enjoyed his Island burger tho. The coffees are good. Would be 5 stars if they offer service water and not bottled water. If you are looking for a place to meet up or hang out, this is a good place to be. But not highly recommended if you want a place to be quiet since it is a cafe for playing board games and to watch live shows.
I liked how cozy and quiet the place was. The food was okay. I got the Garlic Pepper Beef. I forgot the coffee I got, but I loved it! The irony
I had the best tea here. Gosh, I wish I knew what tea brand they used for bughaw tea! They used wild honey for tea, incredible. Was not able to try other food in the menu, hence, I will come back soon to try them. Will def bring friends too who love anime and rpg lol. They have boutique inside, they sell various cosplay stuff and cute accessories. Food and drinks are affordable too. Never mind their small space lmao. At least, okay service nila haha. I also love how friendly their baristas are! They are so welcoming and in fact suggested that I’d have the bughaw tea. It did not disappoint :”))
The stairs are quite narrow, so be cautious when going down They have free wifi, and a novelty shop is also located within the shop. They offer a diversified food selection. The staff are friendly. They also have a generous serving. You can also rent a variety of board games See photos for the menu.
We had a very good breakfast here! We definitelly recommend this place. We had hotdog, English breakfast (not all ingredients as usual) and very delicious french toast. It was also very quiet there.
