Crema's Take

“Central Bean Cafe is a beloved Filipino-owned espresso bar where rich, flavorful coffee pairs beautifully with freshly made pastries and breakfast sandwiches that keep locals coming back within days of their first visit. The standout experience here is genuine—think crispy pan de sal baked fresh daily, buttery Silvana cookies layered with buttercream and merengue, and a longanissa breakfast sandwich on a perfectly flaky bun that reviewers can't stop raving about. It's the kind of cozy, unpretentious neighborhood spot where you'll want to linger over your espresso and soak in the warm hospitality.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

It's my favorite place to have coffee and sweets or sandwiches. Great place to hang out. The staff is friendly, and new items are being added to the menu.

Amazing! Get the 'Silvana' cookie with buttercream and thin merengue layers with cookie crumbs on the outside. Also the longanissa breakfast sausage sandwich. The bun is super delicious and flaky. Not like a crappy mass produced bun. Excellent prices on food and pastries.…
