"Went here for the cats but didn't expect their drinks to be also great. Ordered dirty matcha with 0 expectations but it was good ! Matcha was creamy and u can really taste it. Cats were cute & u can even take photos/carry them (though totally depends on their mood if they wanna socialize when u visit ) will surely come back when I'm around the area!"

"Nice cafe in the middle of gritty Masangkay Street. It feels like its Taiwan-coded, with its decor, food. Food tastes nice and relatively affordable. The drinks have wild options compared to most cafes, so it does feel like it's East Asian. Will go back to try other drinks."

"A hidden gem in Binondo! This cozy cat café is such a lovely spot to relax and unwind. The cats are super cute and friendly, and the staff are just as warm and welcoming. They serve good food along with great coffee and tea, which makes the experience even better. It’s a perfect place for animal lovers and anyone looking for a calm little escape in the middle of the city. Highly recommended!"

"My first visit was out of curiosity, because I was looking for another coffee shop to relax and be away from the crowds. I was surprised that this coffee shop has two cats - the lucky charm of the shop. The staff are friendly and attentive to both customers and the cats. Food and drinks are good too! I kept coming back to this coffee shop because of its relaxing atmosphere and the cats."

"Very cute cafe near Binondo. It's a cat themed Cafe and they have a resident cat that's in there whole day. Sooo cute and fluffy. They have a lot of fusion Cafe Americano mix. Orange coffee is my favorite. They also serve food here. Oh, and their rustic tiny coffee bar set up is nice too."

"We recently visited Gukeng Coffee Shop and had an amazing experience! We ordered the matcha tea and guava green tea, both of which were absolutely delightful. The dumpling was also yummy! The staff were super courteous and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!"

"Experience at Gukeng Cafe The staff were very accommodating, they suggested good options of food. Also, they were mindful of the customers need - like water refill. Also, the cats were ADORABLE. I think there’s only 2 cats inside and they were very cute, one was very into interacting with the customers but the other one is a very ‘sentimental’ one (which is very cute too). Will definitely comeback here. Just be mindful if you’ll be traveling with your cars, the parking might not be that accessible as compared to motorcycles."
