Cafe Beam has the minimalist, beige aesthetic pinned to a T. With simple, white furniture and white and concrete walls, you’re sure to be able to take a great Instagram pic wherever you’re seated.
For those who are more into foodstagram photos, the coffee shop also takes their food presentation seriously. They serve their food well-plated in white kitchenware that’s on-theme.

The cafe has a wide selection of impressive coffee recipes. Aside from the classics – espresso, Americano, cappuccino, and mocha – they also offer specialty coffee.
These include the Beam latte (P150, ~USD2.97) – a shot of espresso, earl grey, caramel, milk, and sweet cream – and black sesame latte (P160, ~USD3.17) – black sesame espresso shot, black sesame cream, and milk. For a unique iced coffee option, there’s also the apple and passionfruit cold brew coffee (P150, ~USD2.97) which is cold brew with apple and passionfruit sauce.

There are also beverages for non-coffee drinkers at Beam Cafe. They have matcha, chai, and strawberry latte, a wide range of teas, and flavored sodas.
You can enjoy your choice of beverage with the cafe’s croffles – a cross between a croissant and a waffle – in classic, cheesecake, and pizza flavors. The cafe is also offering authentic Italian gelatos soon, so you can watch out for that on their Facebook page.

They also serve Beam salad (P175, ~USD3.46) for those who want to eat healthily. This has roasted chicken, mixed greens, cucumber, carrots, and croutons in sesame dressing.

If you’re not quite confident with dining indoors at restaurants and cafes just yet, outdoor seating is also available at Cafe Beam.
They’re also open for takeout and delivery if you want to enjoy their coffees, croffles, and other brunch specialties in the comfort of your home.
The cafe offers in-house delivery but in case your area is out of their range, you can try ordering through the Toktok app.
Aesthetically pleasing interiors and food presentation might draw cafe enthusiasts to minimalist cafes, but great food makes Cafe Beam a highly recommended dining spot.
So if you live in Bulacan or find yourself in the area soon, be sure to check out this minimalist cafe. Just remember to bring a face mask and a face shield to keep yourself, the staff, and other customers safe and healthy.
