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.

The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and welcomed me with genuine sense of acknowledgment. Volunteers spoke with sincerity as they looked at me and even pat me on the shoulder as they passed by. They introduced themselves first, making me feel not like a stranger, but like someone they were truly glad to meet.

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.
