D’expresso: A tropical-inspired cafe in QC

d'expresso qc

Are you tired of the usual “milk tea and takoyaki” dates? How about let’s have some “coffee and ramen” date? G!?

We found this newly opened coffee shop in Quezon City. It’s an alfresco coffee shop, which is a plus for us since we’re still hesitant to dine-in nowadays.

This is actually their second branch already. Their first branch is located in Marikina, and it’s only good for takeout.

What we liked about their cafe, aside from the beach-vibe design, was their menu! All of our favorite comfort food are here.

COFFEE

They serve coffee and teas and have a wide variety of drinks and you can have it in hot or cold, depending on your preference.

We got their best-selling drinks, which are the Spanish Latte and Caramel Macchiato. We liked them both but the Spanish Latte is the winner for us!

RAMEN

A little trivia: Did you know that ramen is one of our comfort food? And yes, they also serve ramen here. We can now have two of our favorite food, coffee and ramen, in just one sitting! So thankful that D’expresso did this!

For the ramen, we got their Tonkotsu and Black Garlic. The soup was creamy and flavorful. The noodles were not soggy and very affordable for its taste! The Tonkotsu was our favorite! 🙂

PASTRIES

Of course, a cafe will not be complete without pastries! Another trivia: D’expresso cafe has its own bakery (and it will be opening soon), so all of their pastries are hand-made by them.

We tried their Ciabatta Ham and it’s definitely our favorite! It was freshly baked and the spread was very tasty!

You can watch our short virtual tour on TikTok. You can also follow us there for more virtual tours 🙂

Is coffee shop your favorite hangout place? We found a newly opened coffee shop along West Avenue…and it’s not just an ordinary coffee shop because it’s also instagrammable.

Just a hint, they opened last October 5 and they are just beside Sambokojin!

As we opened the door, our face were in awe. The place is spacious (as in), the ambiance is relaxing and cozy, and the aroma of coffee will welcome you.

Let me tour you around on their 1st floor.

Aside from these, the tables and chairs are also comfortable and relaxing. Each table has its customized name of the shop.

If you’re looking for some good spots for your IG feed, go to their 2nd floor… You’re welcome! Lol

As of this writing, they offer sandwiches, salads, and pastries for the snacks and limited drinks selection such as milk tea and coffee. But according to their staff, they will be having rice meals soonest.

To start, here are the food and drinks we got from Q Cup!

CREAM CHEESE SERIES

They have five flavors but we only got 4 here: Oreo (155 php), Ube (155 php), Matcha (185 php), Chocolate (155 php). All were good but our top picks here were the Ube and Oreo!

Margherita (129 php)

This is one of my favorite from the sandwich selection. Love the fresh tomatoes inside and not to mention the melted cheese! Yum.

Clubhouse (239 php)

This is our top pick from the sandwiches. The chicken is not overcooked. Loved the fresh and crisp of the lettuce.

q cup philippines
BLT (209 php)

Love the combination of the bacon and the lettuce. The bacon has smokey taste which we loved.

BREWED COFFEE

Since the specialty here in Q Cup is coffee, we didn’t miss the chance to try one of their brewed coffee. The one we tried was imported from Singapore. And we loved it!

We saw how the coffee was made via GINA. It’s an award winning coffee instrument.

HOLIDAY TREATS

q cup philippines
Coffee Jelly Float (180 php)

Tired of the usual coffee jelly that has whipped cream on top? What if we tell you that here in Q Cup, they put vanilla ice cream instead of whipped cream?! YES! And this is lit! The coffee jelly is a winner also! This is a must try!
