White Camp Coffee and Kitchen in QC: Specialty Coffees and Asian Inspired Comfort Food

When life seems to be fast-paced, it’s nice to find a place for some midday downtime or an after-dinner snack.

While it sounds so impossible to find one in Quezon City as it’s often associated with prime spots such as Tomas Morato and Timog Avenue, the other side of town hides a gem called White Camp Coffee and Kitchen.

The cafe and kitchen by heart is an unintimidating space of whites accented with wood interiors and floor-to-ceiling walls, giving a bright and modern Scandinavian design.

Inside, you’ll be greeted with tall tables overlooking the street and the bar where the magic of brewing happens.

At White Camp, they use traceable beans to further bring out the taste of the coffee. Aside from their house coffee sourced from Brazil, they also have beans from as far as Columbia and Ethiopia.

Aside from being a cafe, White Camp also has a dining spot and a little couch area perfect for casual diners or hangout nights.

They serve Asian comfort food like the Cheesy Wonton (Php 165), a Chinese appetizer injected with mozzarella and cheddar inside, fried and drizzled with truffle honey sauce.
