Chapter Coffee Roastery & Cafe SM North EDSA

a roastery that actually roasts, sitting inside the block at bago bantay, is rarer than it sounds in quezon city. most places in a mall corridor are pouring someone else's beans. chapter coffee does the sourcing and the roasting themselves, which means what ends up in your cup has a shorter, more accountable chain behind it than you'd get at the average SM tenant. that matters if you care about traceability, and it matters even more if you've been burned by stale, anonymous blends passing themselves off as specialty. the standing here is strong, and it didn't get that way by coasting. come for a mid-morning filter before the lunch crowd hits bago bantay.
