The place has the familiar feeling of a home, a place where you can easily get comfortable in.

It\u2019s not so complicated, as they like to say at Bluesmith, to \u201cfind your comfort.\u201d And when you say comfort, it is almost always breakfast\u2014or should it now be brunch?\u2014that first comes to mind. Breakfast or brunch, there is something special and comforting about food born to the morning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A perfect serving of comfort to start with is the <strong>Bluesmith Beef Tapa<\/strong>, a dish that strongly resonates with local breakfast lovers. The beef tapa (cured beef) is tender and pleasingly juicy, a bit on the sweet side, which makes a good combination with fried egg and a dip of <em>pinakurat<\/em> (spiced vinegar).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24764\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-1-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Bluesmith Beef Tapa (Php 310)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">From their Mains, one of the best-selling dishes is their <strong>Wagyu Burger Steak<\/strong>, which provides a very consistent tender chew in the mouth. An interesting fact is that their Wagyu beef comes from a Japanese cattle breed raised in the Philippines, and yet the quality remains the same. The creamy milk gravy served with the beef is a perfect match with this delicate meat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24765\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-8-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-8.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-8-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-8-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-8-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Wagyu Burger Steak (Php 410)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">As to their coffee, another symbol of comfort, Bluesmith also offers something special. Staying true to their name, Bluesmith roasts their own beans, which come from around the globe, at their roast store in Pasong Tamo, Makati. They feature different coffees every few months. At the time of writing, Bluesmith at Greenbelt features a special blend of beans from Panama and Brazil and single-origin coffee from Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To best appreciate the aroma and flavor of their coffee, especially the single-origin coffee, have it served via Chemex or V60 which gives you a clean and rich brew. If you want it a bit stronger, go for Aeropress. Or their 24-Hour Cold Brew if you want it strong and smooth\u2014and refreshingly cold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24768\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-11-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-11.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-11-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-11-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-11-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Single-Origin Coffee (Php 160)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You could also go for a classic cup of latte.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24771\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-14-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-14.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-14-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-14-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/Bluesmith-14-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Latte (Php 150)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Bluesmith Coffee also offers non-caffeinated drinks, wines, and beers. The Greenbelt branch is a particularly peaceful place to spend time in during the day, while in the evening it turns into a teeming hangout where friends and family come for conversations over good food and coffee. If all you seek is comfort, Bluesmith Coffee has pretty much created a home out of it. All you need to do now is to step into this comfort zone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Written by Rei Lea\u00f1o<br \/>\nThis also appears in Philippine Primer Japanese Magazine\u2019s September 2018 issue.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bluesmith Coffee is all about comfort, specially tailored for those who seek it in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,112,234,72,2219],"tags":[2216,2217,2218,1603,1602,868],"class_list":["post-24759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-greenbelt","category-makati","category-all-day-breakfast","category-cafe-resto","category-cafe-2018","tag-bluesmith-coffee","tag-bluesmith-coffee-greenbelt","tag-cafes-in-greenbelt","tag-cafes-in-makati","tag-coffee-shops-in-makati","tag-comfort-food"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24759"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24759\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31276,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24759\/revisions\/31276"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
