WHILE I was going through my Facebook news feed I noticed a post from one of my friends where he visited this new coffee shop in Marfori called Spark Coffee + Crafts. A day later, after seeing the post, I went to visit Spark which was having its soft opening.
I like what they did with the place. I find the interior design to be clean and simple. I also like how they have power outlets for those who will be working or studying here. I also find the place to be well lighted.
On one corner of the store, there is also a display for those who love calligraphy and crafts. There are pens, notebooks, and inks among the things displayed. I also noticed displays of matcha products and some bags.
I also find the place to be conducive for work and for those who want to study especially from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. However, I observed that most of their customers come here at around 4 p.m. I also noticed that the place is packed during dinner or early in the evening.
When I visited the place, there was no wireless internet yet but the last time I talked with them, they hope to offer it soon.
Food and beverages
For my visit here, I ordered their Cappuccino (P110), Spark Sandwich (P250), and Matcha Waffle with mango and red mung beans (P120). I also ordered a Double Chocolate Brownie and Iced Americano, both of which I forgot to take note of the price.
I really enjoyed the Spark Sandwich, which is ciabatta with beef strips, caramelized onions, egg and cheese on top, and their special sauce. The meal came with a side of fries. I find the sandwich to be really delicious every component of the sandwich went well together. I also loved the runny egg and melted cheese on top. Definitely on top of my favorite food list.
I also liked the Matcha Waffle with mango and read beans, which went well together. The dish was very filling to the stomach. I also find it to be one of the most beautifully plated waffle dishes I have ever encountered.
The Double Chocolate Brownie was also delicious.
Meanwhile, the Cappuccino was one of the best I had. I enjoyed every sip of it.
I also enjoyed every sip of their Iced Americano.
Overall, I enjoyed their food and beverage here. I find the quality to be good and the prices are fairly reasonable.
The service
I find the service here to be fairly good. The staff are also friendly and accommodating.
When I visited the place, the owners were present. They were also friendly and accommodating. They were kind enough to explain what is on their menu and I appreciated that very much.
Bottom line
Overall, I consider Spark Coffee and Crafts to be a great coffee shop. Their food and beverage are reasonably priced and the food quality is also great. I also find the service here to be great.
I find the place to be great for those who want to spend some me-time or for a group of friends.
I will definitely be coming back here.
