If you’re looking for a new spot to sip coffee in Ortigas, work quietly, or simply hang out with friends, Odd Café is worth checking out. True to its name, it’s a little quirky, slightly hidden, and definitely not your typical coffee shop. The minimalist design and cozy ambiance create a calm, relaxing vibe that makes you want to stay for a long time.

I’ve tried many posh-looking cafés where the aesthetics overshadow the actual coffee quality. Café 32nd Street is a refreshing exception. While it has the upscale vibe, they’ve managed to deliver excellent coffee that stands as the true highlight.

The moment I stepped inside, it was exactly as the TikTok video showed—warm yellow lights, brick-patterned wallpaper, and vinyl records displayed everywhere. The atmosphere transported me straight to the American 70s and 80s. At one point, I even felt like I was in an old country setup.
