Caffe Bene is one popular coffeehouse based in Korea. It has five branches in the Philippines: Eastwood City Walk 2, SMX Convention Center, SM City Clark, Caffe Bene Makati and SM BF Parañaque. 

Last September, my Korean Language class, who won the "Most Popular Presentation Award" received 3,000 pesos worth of gift certificate from Caffe Bene. We went to Caffe Bene in SMX Mall of Asia since the one at Makati was closed. 

Big Caffe Bene stores offer coffee, frappes, specialty drinks, tea, signature mocktails, bene gelato, bingsu (Korean shaved-ice cream) and  pastries. I was about to order bingsu but it's not available in SMX branch.

Coffee shops are the best place to study, read books or have a tete-a-tete but when my Korean language class and teacher went here...there was a rock concert going on at the convention center.
