Coffee. Is. Awesome. Period.
Nothing can plaster a smile on your face more than smelling freshly brewed coffee amidst stressful days. A brewtiful day, indeed.
But First, Coffee has been making a noise in the Philippines through the ever-famous social media platform, Facebook.
Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen X have been reforming every brand's creative designs, forcing most brands to redesign their logo and palette.
Aestheticism has marked its spot in the marketing industry, and this is one of the strengths of the currently famous cafe, But First, Coffee, commonly termed as BFC.
But can it live up to the hype it's been receiving? Hmmm, let's discuss it.
The interior design
This is the element that made BFC rise to the top! Their interior is qualified to what the teenagers are seeking in today's age, aesthetic. Perfectly matches their Instagram accounts.

BFC's interior design is mostly wooden in style & color. The combination of wide and woody colors creates an aesthetically pleasing visual. Its woody-designed floor, wooden countertops, and the white collection of furniture from long table to chairs made the whole cafe looks sleek and clean.

The cafe's famous interior design is in the picture below. The BFC's staple imprinted into a wooden wall, emphasizing the cafe's name, "But First, Coffee."
The customer service
Well, what can I say? The customer service is superb. The staff will greet you with smiling eyes and a soft "Good Morning!" They are very entertaining as well when I asked several questions because this is my first visit to their cafe.
I love their music taste as well!
They also offer free WiFi connection and free device charging. Guess who are their target customers? Students & WFH workers!
The food
We ordered 2 lasagnas, 1 blueberry cheesecake, and 2 iced coffees (1 white chocolate mocha & 1 cafe mocha with an additional 1 expresso shot) totaling Php 760.00 ($12.88).
To be honest, an hour before this, we already ate at Jollibee. But since I really wanna try this cafe, I still ordered a heavy meal - their creamy rolled lasagna to share with my mom, coz she was with me that time. But we ended up ordering 2 separate lasagnas as we really fell in love with its taste! My mom is a picky eater, so believe me when she says, "The food is good."
Since we really had a great time with their lasagna, we really wanna cleanse our palate with their blueberry cheesecake, which really tasted good, by the way.
I'm really sensitive to how a cheesecake tastes, and this, to tell you, is great aside from the crust. I just hate how the crust is falling every time I took a slice of the cake.
The coffee
Well, their coffee tastes like other cafes' coffee. There's nothing special with it, but it's bearable, especially for its price.
The menu
I apologize as I forgot to capture the interior and the menu. I was so excited to eat that time that it occupied my time, lmao. Pictures below are the photos of their menu. Take a look!
