Coffee shop: Commune.Ph
On him: On the GOWalk Evolution Ultra Rapids - Black (P3695)
On her: GOWalk Evolution Ultra Rapids - Navy White(P3590)
Coffee shops are the best option for a relaxed place to just chill and chat, especially for those who don’t have too much time. As one of the original cafes here, Commune is a mainstay serving Philippine coffee and comfort food and has highly Instagrammable interiors too!
To pull off a cozy and up to date look, try these trendy pattern pieces. Ladies can pair tailored plaid trousers with a Skechers GOWalk Evolution Ultra Rapids slip-on in a matching shade and a classic fitted sweater. Guys can rock their striped button down polo shirt with slim chinos or jeans and Skechers GOwalk in triple black. The key is to balance the patterned piece with classic and neutral shades in the rest of your outfit.
Also try: Buckys for small bites and dessert, and ABKD for fresh baked bread.
Streets and Alleys: Tambai

On her: GOWalk Revolution Ultra - Charcoal Blue (P4195)
For those into the most laid back of atmospheres, this sari sari store-turned yakitori place is perfect for a pre-game of barbecued meats with beer or sake. The outside area can get warm so dress comfortably in shorts or denim skirts. Keep things street casual with a tucked loose tee, or a denim jacket for when you wanna head upstairs for some A/C and DJ music.
Tambai can get crowded where many customers are happy to stand. A comfy pair of Skechers GOwalk kicks will bring you a long way, after all, an early stop at Tambai means there’s still the rest of the night to have fun and scour the rest of Poblacion.

Originally a tiki island themed resto bar in Katipunan, Tortuga moved to Poblacion last year serving up a more resort chic and chill version offering delicious tapas and cocktails at unpretentious prices.
