Gukeng Coffee
Gukeng Coffee is a Taiwanese-style coffee shop on Masangkay Street in Binondo, Manila's Chinatown, known locally as the district's cat cafe because of its group of resident cats. The cats, including Jinbao and Yuanbao, wander among the tables and can be petted and picked up when they are awake; they take rest breaks, so not every visit includes play time. There is no entrance fee: guests order from the menu, and shoe covers are provided at the door to keep the floor clean. Alongside coffee, Alishan tea, fruit-based drinks and matcha, the kitchen serves Taiwanese dishes such as beef noodles, dry noodles and dumplings. The room is small and fills up at weekends, so expect a short wait. The shop also feeds stray cats outside, and it is open every day from morning until late evening.
