I did have Grab pick up and was lucky enough to have seats even though it has a noisy atmosphere. You can’t study here! Their promos and newness to the area makes it a hub for hanging out rather than studying. Coffee was decent and cheap with promos. Waiting time takes long but grab pick up is comparably faster. I like their takeaway packaging because it’s secured.

Out of all the branches near FEU/UST, this branch has the best espresso. Additionally, they have a large space for customers unlike the others.

I visited on Friday around 7am and there are many empty seats. First time ordering coffee here and it's good and the price is affordable. Though I can imagine that the place might get crowded and noisy during peak hours. I suggest visiting during very early in the morning.

I tried their new Lychee Con Nata Fizz and Lychee Frappe, both refreshing and you can taste the real lychee. I like how big and spacious this branch is, no wonder this is more of a cozy space for students around the area.

I could not recommend this café enough. We just love Zus! I even have their app recently installed so that ordering from them is easy thru their pickup system (in-store). I usually opt for their drinks where I can dictate a Double Espresso shot choice with boss beans. Will definitely order again and again!

Food is very good for the price, all the items are fairly affordable for the quality you get. Service was kinda slow though, I ordered though the app to get the vouchers and I waited for a good 30mins or so. It was better the second time I went (waited for 15m). Maybe because it's new and they're still getting used to it. The place was also full and it's hard to find seats initially.

This coffee shop was pretty busy, so it got a bit noisy. What I really lliked in this coffee shop is that customers were practicing CLAYGO. The drinks too were good and not too expensive. We tried the Irish Cream chocolate and the Australian chocolate, and both were delicious!
