Get up to ₱300 off your bill if you book a table with Booky!
Catering to all kinds of people, coffee shops have been a go-to place to study, to have meetings, or to reminisce with friends. With all the activities you can do there, it’s no wonder that there’s not only been an abundance of these shops popping up in the metro but also a growing number of people who choose to spend their time there.
To some, the view of a fully populated shop and the cacophony of coffee machines and chatter, is a welcoming sight. But for others, it’s anything but welcoming.
If you’re the type of person who prefers quiet places and more open spaces, here’s a coffee shop where you can have chill moments paired with good coffee and good food: Common Folk Coffee Bar.

Described by the owners as a “village coffee shop” in White Plains, albeit only recently celebrated their 2nd year anniversary last December, Common Folk has already become a space for friends who want to have good conversations over a cup of coffee.
Offering good things ahead, their farmhouse industrial designed interiors evoke a sense of coziness and warmth that’ll pull you in and make you stay for brunch or merienda.

Whether you speak the language of coffee and know the difference between a cafe latte and cafe mocha or not, their barista and servers are open to answering your coffee queries.
If you’re still not sure which to pick or where to start, here are
a few should definitely try.

Fun Fact: Their inspiration for Common Folk are coffee shops from all around the world. In fact, some of the owners bring home coffee beans from the places they've been to and if you visit, you can have a taste of the coffee made from these beans.
But that’s not all they serve. They also offer savory dishes that’ll complete your brunch and merienda meals.
Try out their starters: the Garlic Chorizo and Spinach Dip.
