Coffee Project Trevi: A garden oasis amid the urban jungle of Makati

In the middle of a busy day at the city, having a piece of Coffee Project Trevi’s Camote Cake (sweet potato cake) provides a quick escape reminiscent of sweet potatoes of Japan — fresh, hot, delicious, very filling and comforting. 

Amid the noises, traffic jams and the hustle and bustle of Makati Central Business District (CBD), Coffee Project Trevi provides the perfect getaway to escape from it all — and to enjoy a much-needed “me” time with your Camote Cake in a corner.

Generously spruced up with realistic indoor plants, neon quotable quotes and rustic décors, Coffee Project Trevi is like a “secret garden” where you can meet your special someone for a Valentine rendezvous, or catch up with friends over cups of matcha latte and beauty tea.

Whether for a quick bite and coffee fix, or for a leisurely brunch, lunch or dinner, the café’s rice, pizza and pasta dishes and wide assortment of hot and cold beverages provide both satiation and comfort for the entire family — the food and drinks made more “Instagrammable” by warm lights and spacious, well-polished and varnished wooden tables.

Every table is unique — all different in sizes, shapes, seating capacities and variety of wooden and wrought iron chairs, making the table arrangement look dynamic and interesting — with something to look at or that grabs attention at every corner.

Plants — potted in tables, hanging as vines, or in the form of tiny trees — bring the outside in, secluding every corner into diners’ own private pockets of paradise.

Mellow music, alongside books, bicycles and antique-looking decorations, gives the space a nostalgic provincial charm that reminds one of fond childhood memories and home sweet home, momentarily taking away the stress among city dwellers with its countryside contrast against the cold and unfeeling skylines of Makati.

Named after Rome, Italy’s world-famous Trevi Fountain, the Trevi condominium, also known by its full name Laureano di Trevi Towers, is a three-tower condo along Chino Roces Avenue in Makati City. Vista Residences’ Trevi Towers sits on 5,000 sqm. of prime location, cradling Coffee Project Trevi in its ground floor. 

Like the Trevi Fountain, Coffee Project Trevi is a refreshing respite from city heat — thanks to its unique concoctions served in an inspiring ambience — truly, it is a garden oasis that provides pause from the daily grind and the incessant quest for achievement that have long been bundled with city life. A Camote Cake from a cozy nook at Coffee Project Trevi literally gives you strength and energy to fight and conquer a new day.
