Food Scene
Its in the corner of Valero and HV Dela Costa. It's quaint and is more than cute latte art, Commune is all about bringing people together in real life. They also host some art workshops on some days. Coffee is so good, at a decent price.

The croissant and cappuccino combo in the morning gives you the best start up kick to start the day. It's crispy yet moist in the inside. They also have heavier set meals if you'd prefer the croque monsieur. Lunch and dinner menu gives fresh options. Note, not for those with big appetite as portioning is sufficient, however not extravagant.
