Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

If you need Wi-Fi with great speed, and a cafe with high safety factor, then Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is the perfect spot for you! Make sure to get their Swirl card for Php200 fee. This entitles you to free Wi-Fi access at any Coffee Bean branch. It also accumulates points which you can use to buy food/drinks from the cafe.

This offer is so much better than Starbuck's Php100/hr card, at any branch. Most Coffee Bean branches get crowded around 4pm onwards. As people lug their laptops and use Wi-Fi forever. Make sure to arrive a bit early to get good seats, especially at Robinson's and Greenbelt branches. Often, weeknights are okay with a lot of vacant tables in branches like Greenhills or MoA. But those near universities get full easily.
Aside from coffee, tea, or juices, they have an extensive menu of sandwiches, salad, pasta, and pastries. I've probably sampled most of their dishes from my extensive CBTL visits, due to frequent DSL disconnections at home (thanks PLDT!).

CBTL Jazz Mall. Elec plugs are located at the loft only, one on each end. These are the most coveted seats. Patrons stay for hours here, chilling, skype-ing, downloading, networking.
