Itaewon Creative Lounge Cafe

Review for food/drinks may be inaccurate as I was not able to try most in the menu (at least for now) I only had one matcha and it tastes….fine. Matcha’s mild, not grassy (i prefer grassy tho huhu) and it’s too sweet for my liking. But this one is okay for non-matcha lovers who hates the bitter aftertaste lol. Also, not that I care about latte art, but for those who do, sakto lang din, di sya cute masyado hahuhu. Nacompensate ng lasa ng drinks yung latte art but then, it doesnt matter how it came out, it’s the taste that matters most naman at okay sya. Pero I hope they have splenda/equal for americano :(( regular sugar/sweetener lang meron sila eh :<< But when it comes to service and atmosphere, superb. I like how cozy this cafe is, def good for the rainy weather. Baristas are friendly and smiley! They will make you want to order more lol. I love how they chose a neutral colors for their interior, sobrang cozy! They also have free wifi! Music is kind of loud, not the level of volume you usually hear at some other cafes but okay lang din. Will def come back here pag gutom na gutom ako to try other food in the menu. And will also bring my friends here to hang out. Such a nice place to have a chika minute with friends.

We ordered their bibimbap. At first, I thought the serving was small, but as I ate it, I felt full. It was tasty and worth the price. The honey-glazed chicken was tasty—the lemon and honey matched well, must try! For me, food was good, but drinks could be better.

Alright, if you're ever in Baguio and looking for a cafe that offers a bit of a different vibe, you might want to check out Itaewon Creative Lounge. You'll find it on the 4th floor of the Olympian Lane building, right on Mabini Street. It's certainly one of those places that pops up a lot online, and there's a good reason for the buzz. The Vibe When you step inside, you immediately notice the Korean-inspired design. They've clearly put effort into the decor, and it definitely creates a visually appealing space that many find quite "Instagram-worthy." The overall atmosphere aims for a chill and cozy feel, a place where you can just settle in. A big plus is the view overlooking Session Road – it's pretty cool to watch the city's energy from a comfortable spot above the bustle. What's on the Menu? Now, onto the actual food and drinks. They've got your standard range of coffee and other beverages. I remember trying their Dalgona Coffee, which, like so many places, became a real hit during the pandemic. It's that distinctive whipped coffee drink, making for a unique and visually appealing cup. What really caught my eye, though, was seeing Spam Musubi on their menu. That's definitely not something you find in every cafe, and it offers a nice, savory contrast if you're not in the mood for something sweet. Beyond that, they also offer a selection of breads and desserts, and I've heard good things about their "creampuff breads." A Few Things to Keep in Mind If you're planning to spend some time there, you'll appreciate the availability of sockets for charging your devices. However, just a heads-up: because it's a popular spot, it can get quite busy, especially during peak times. This might make it feel a bit less spacious than you'd expect, and finding a quiet corner can be a challenge. Also, navigating parking in that central Baguio area can be a bit of a hassle, so keep that in mind if you're driving.

The food is delicious! The design of the place is super chill and cozy, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends.

Such a cozy and pretty cafe. The place is clean, the ambiance is relaxing, and the matcha drink was really good. Perfect spot for catching up or just unwinding.

The food is great and the ambiance is nice. The staffs are friendly and accomodating. Definitely will come back again

The matcha strawberry drink is refreshing, one of my favs. this is my first time trying the honey lemon chicken its flavorful, with a good mix of tangy and sweet, and the chicken itself was tender and well-cooked. The vibe of the café is cozy and relaxing, making it a nice spot to chill and the interior is so beautiful, love the accents.

My second time at this cafe. We ordered Cappucino, sausage(their new menu) and beef bulgogi. Pesto was not available during our visit. The food and serving is okay but the sausage is dry. Food is not that expensive but the price is just right. The place is not crowded and i like the atmosphere. I like it here because they have free wifi here, good place for wfh.
