Valor
The devil’s in the details at this design-driven café. Ice drip coffee is the speciality here, in particular, its coconut ice drip coffee served in an actual coconut. Originally a well-loved street food go-to for tourists and locals alike, Valor has transformed itself into a hip, artisanal cafe serving Instagrammable creations.
Valor also has rotating exhibitions featuring the works of local artists and photographers. Sometimes they even participate in art community events such as Art Central to allow more people to try their coffee. What’s more, you can bring along your furry friends here.
