The café culture continues to thrive as people increasingly take their lives in and out of places with seamless ease — technology providing the means to work and play wherever one may be.

Coffee shops are still a favorite hangout for many — a place where stories are told and decisions are made; where school or work meetings are conducted; and where friendly dates or meet-ups happen. Most places are open 24/7 for students pulling up all-nighters or travelers just wanting to get a dose of caffeine and a place to chill and relax.

And as we are in an era where every move needs to be captured, places are geo-tagged and pictures are supposed to be Instagrammable — it’s not just about how great the coffee is or how convenient these places are, but how nice it looks for the ‘Gram.

It’s hard to look for an environment that provides not just great food but also has good, photo-worthy spots. But, fret not, the Philippines has a gem that is worth every visit — the Coffee Project.

Because of Coffee Project’s feed and food goals, Big Seven Travel recently hailed it at the 24th spot of their 50-point list in the most Instagrammable coffee shops all over the world. The list based on best café designs and its most creative foods that are fit for the ‘gram.

“With multiple branches around the city, the feeling when walking into a Coffee Project is always a welcome one,” Big Seven Travel, a popular website for food and travel said on their website.

“With soft lighting and lush greenery, it’s an oasis of calm and beauty in this bustling city,” it added.

First opened last 2014 at Starmall Alabang, Muntinlupa, Coffee Project takes pride in not just its great coffee selections that its customers come back for, but the interiors.

Walking in feels like taking a step closer to home — with its greens and flowers littering almost all the walls, lights that set the mood and comfortable seats that enable customers to feel comfortable.

And just like any homey place, it serves not just beverages, but also appetizing food like cakes, pasta, rice meals and sandwiches.

According to its website, all its efforts are a product of Coffee Project’s dedication to making the utmost customer experience.

Each branch in the Philippines exudes the same design with variations suited to its location. Of course, everything is 100 percent Filipino.

Coffee Project is a coffee chain under the All Value Corporation of the Villar Group. To date, it has over 37 branches nationwide and will continue to expand in the future.

Among the top 50 cafes are Speedos from Australia, who nabbed the top spot on the list, EL&N in London, England; Alfred Coffee from the United States of America, etc.
