Chaikofi: how much should you pay for “presentation?”
New chain chaikofi has got to have the best decorated interiors of a dining/coffee place in Manila today. Their just-opened express outlet at Robinsons Ermita stands out from the crowd because of its yellow motif and brightly-lit contemporary design. The back-to-back lounge seating evokes an American diner feel infused with the European touch (and rightly so, because one of the owners is Dutch).
If you’re looking for an alternative to good ol’ Starbucks or Figaro, this is the place to go. At least you can hang out sipping your 100 peso designer coffees while admiring the view and relishing some good company. That’s right: hang out here holding a cup of coffee for a couple of hours and get your money’s worth because everything else about Chaikofi is overpriced.
