This is a café on the first floor of the M STAY HOTEL building in The Village in Clark, Mabalacat. According to a 2023 blog post, it had newly opened around that time. A Google review from early 2024 says the owner had changed and the café was gradually changing its atmosphere. A 2026 blog post describes it as a dessert café run by a Korean owner. Centered on coffee and bingsu (Korean shaved ice), it also serves light meals such as sandwiches, as well as cakes and beer.
Many reviews describe the interior as bright, clean, and quiet, making it a good place to relax alone or stay for a long time. Some reviews mention strong air conditioning and spacious seating. Another review mentions a cozy Korean-style café atmosphere with lounge chairs and good Wi-Fi. Reviewers say even the sharing bowls and small plates are clean, and several reviews mention that the staff are friendly. Outside, there are wooden tables with parasols, and many reviews say they are nice to sit at on cool evenings; one review also says smoking was allowed in the outdoor seating area. A 2026 blog post also mentions a self-service corner inside the café where you can cook your own ramyeon.
The most frequently recommended item is the bingsu. Many reviews praise the injeolmi bingsu, topped with roasted soybean powder and condensed milk over milk ice that melts smoothly in your mouth rather than coarse water ice. There are also reviews of a bingsu generously topped with fruit and of snowflake bingsu. If you come with a group, you can share one large bowl in the middle, and if you're alone, you can choose a cup bingsu. The latte is described as not too sweet, and one review says the coffee is on the strong side. One review says the sandwiches are generously filled with egg, ham, and vegetables. Soju and beer are also sold, and some customers enjoy a drink at the outdoor seats. However, there is one disappointed review saying the chicken skewers had an off smell. There is also a review from someone who added rice cakes bought at a nearby Korean mart to their bingsu, but since that is outside food, it's better to ask the staff in advance.
According to Google Maps, there is a free parking lot and free street parking. There are also wheelchair-accessible parking spaces and seating. Takeout and reservations are available, and the café is marked as suitable for children, dogs, and groups. Clark Joen Japanese and Korean Dining Restaurant is about 50 m away, and Homaek is about 150 m away. You can make inquiries by phone.
