Café Noriter: A Playful Cup of Coffee


“Café Noriter? That’s our place!” Without a doubt, coffee has been the staple beverage of most individuals nowadays. From the initial Starbucks craze early on, this simple beverage has started to become a lifestyle item for those who need their daily caffeine fix. Likewise, gourmet coffee is undeniably the highest display of this beverage and nothing beats Café Noriter at this game. We have large chains of coffee shops sprouting here, there and everywhere; but such shops do not bring something new to the coffee shop game. They may offer free Wi-Fi, an ambience that is more than cozy, and cheerful and perky baristas and staff; but these aforementioned factors can only go so far. As for Café Noriter, they went against the convention of what the usual coffee shop look and feel like. It made them one of the most sought after coffee shop from all over the metro.

Café Noriter is conveniently situated at Taft Avenue, Manila, in front of De La Salle University. One cannot miss this coffee shop for its remarkably playful illustration of their signage. Going inside is a highly different experience from the typical coffee shop. Their sets of furniture are not the conventional ones as can be seen in big coffee chains. Fixtures that were placed inside café Noriter are exceedingly playful and lighthearted. The walls of the shop are infused with cheerful illustrations of different cartoonish images. A more interactive and personalized store design is the cups hanging all around the place, which the customers are asked by the staff to personally design the cups. The windows are filled with sketches of various kinds that some may consider “cheesy.” Similarly, the tables are infused with drawings as well. Bringing it all together, Noriter becomes a playground for coffee lovers and the likes. Well, Noriter literally means, in the Korean language, as playground.

Another interesting facet of Café Noriter is the mood that it delivers to its customers. The “at home” feeling is felt within the confines of this coffee shop - playground. There are several areas wherein customers can sit as if they are at home. For the more serious individual, the chair and table would be the best option. For the laid-back individual, it is the loft and throw pillow. Considering the latter, individuals must remove their shoes, climb the steps, and do an Indian sit for their own delight. As the clichéd line goes, “Its home away from home.” But yes, Café Noriter is really a home away from home; a coffee shop that feels more like a home.

Coffee, tea, or milk; Café Noriter has it all. For non-coffee drinkers, They have some treats that would make individuals fall in love with their brand of beverage. Hot chocolate would be the best bet for those who have a sweet tooth. Iced mocha for those who need caffeine kick. For their pastries, their waffle seems to be the best-seller. Loaded with various toppings, one cannot go wrong choosing this as a nibbling counterpart of any beverage. Anything from Noriter is quite pleasurable, may it be a cup of coffee, a bit of something to munch upon or both!

When a creative spark is needed, Noriter is the place to be. With the creatively eccentric design and the to-die-for decorative pieces, those creative juices will surely flow. Study dates anyone? Having it on Café Noriter is not a bad idea. The cozy ambience and the feeling of home will make studying a pleasurable endeavor bundled with yummy bites and beverages. For those who simply want to unwind from the hustle and the bustle of the metro, this place makes unwinding an understatement.
