What sets Prufrock Coffee apart? Start with its two distinct levels. Upstairs, you’ll find an airy, light-filled space with a touch of eclectic charm—ideal for meetups, casual hangs, or just soaking in the aesthetic. Downstairs, it flips the mood completely with a cozy, book-lined study lounge perfect for focused work or quiet moments with a latte in hand.
Speaking of lattes, the menu is just as impressive. The Purple Haze Frost, made with natural ube, is a sweet and creamy dream in a cup (and a must-try for anyone into unique flavor profiles). There’s also the Spanish Latte and fun seasonal picks like the Velvet Lavender Latte and Iced Mango Nojito—refreshing, floral, and flavorful.
