In fact, Brian shared that one of the first things they did after meeting was going to a coffee crawl in Tokyo, Japan!
Bad Cafe has been serving specialty coffee, in-house baked goods, and comfort food to their growing number of loyal patrons, which are mostly women and young professionals.
Aside from coffee, they also offer a wide variety of healthy drinks such as ginger lemonade and cucumber and mint shakes, suited for the health buffs around the city.
If you want to try something different, however, you may also try their homemade cola made with a combination of soda, orange, lemon, and cinnamon!

Apart from their delicious food, the ambiance of the cafe is another thing to enjoy. The Japanese-minimalist style of the interior is an influence of their love for Tokyo, where the couple first met and got engaged.
