Saturday afternoon plan: zero. Saturday afternoon result: Dimple, Chloe and I curled up at I’m Here Cafe — the logo on the wall reads i’m here cafe’ — on the third floor of CTTM Square, at Timog Avenue corner Tomas Morato Avenue in Quezon City.
Chloe picked our seat in about two seconds. There’s a real camping tent in the middle of the cafe, and that was it, decision made.
The tent Chloe loved
The tent is set up like a little den: a patterned canvas, a small round table with the cafe logo on top, floor cushions, and a mat to sit on. Shoes come off before you climb in. Dimple and Chloe sat cross-legged with their frappes, and Chloe was clearly happy about the whole arrangement. We took a family photo in the doorway, because if you come here with a kid, this is the picture you are going to want.
I’m Here Cafe Tomas Morato: a cozy, slightly Christmassy hideout
Around the tent, the cafe feels like a mix of hangout and study hall. A wooden loft runs along the walls, with cubbies, bean bags and string curtains, and a sign on the stairs asks you to take off your shoes before you go up. Down below, a row of individual study desks was already in use — laptops out, people quietly working. It really is a nice place for students to study.
They had already dressed the room for Christmas: a tree with poinsettias and a “Merry Christmas” pick, wreaths on the stairs, paper Santa and reindeer garlands at the counter, big teddy bears by the tree, and a red holiday throw over a little sofa. It made the space feel even cozier than it already is.
One of the best details is the window. The glass is covered in handwritten sticky notes, doodles and little drawings left by people who came before us — a “Salamat!” in the corner, sketches, lists, short messages. Through the gaps you can still see a busy city street below, with cars, trees and mid-rise buildings. It is the kind of wall (well, window) you end up reading longer than you meant to.
What we ordered
I had the Dark Choco frappe (₱210). It came in a tall glass with whipped cream, a chocolate drizzle and two wafer sticks. Chloe had the Biscoff frappe (₱220), which she started in the tent and kept going back to.
For food, we got the seafood ramen (₱260), the Ham and Bacon Clubhouse (₱210), and the Bacon N’ Cheese Fries (₱209). The ramen arrived with shrimp, noodles and vegetables in a clear broth. The clubhouse came toasted, cut into triangles, with lettuce visible in the layers. The fries were topped with cheese sauce and bacon — the kind of plate a table ends up picking at the whole time.
My verdict? The food is good. Simple as that.
Prices above are from the printed menu we photographed, and they match the sales invoice on the table for the ramen, clubhouse, fries and Biscoff frappe. (The wall board listed the Ham and Bacon Clubhouse a little higher, at ₱230, but the menu and the receipt both say ₱210.)
A couple of practical notes
The cafe is on the third floor of the building. There is paid parking in the basement.
Our rating: 4 out of 5
★★★★☆
It is a cozy place, and that is the word that kept coming back. Chloe loved the tent, the study desks make sense for students, and we were happy with what we ordered.
The one honest hesitation: we weren’t sure the pillows and seats are cleaned as often as they should be. It did not undo the afternoon, but it is the reason this lands at 4 out of 5 instead of higher.
A tent, a sticky-note window, a good frappe and a lazy Saturday with my two favorite girls. We’d go back.
Our visit, comic-style
