The Black Bean - BF Homes

If you find yourself wandering through the charming streets of BF Homes in Parañaque, prepare to uncover a delightful culinary treasure: The Black Bean. Nestled within the ServeQuest OneEighty building at 180 J. Elizalde Avenue, this café is more than just a place to grab a bite; it's a haven for those seeking delicious food in a cozy and laidback atmosphere.

The café's menu is a vibrant mix of comfort food that speaks to the soul. Picture yourself indulging in their Cereal Chicken Popcorn, which plays a delightful symphony of flavors with its crispy exterior drizzled in sweet chili honey. It's the perfect introduction to a meal that captures both creativity and familiarity. For those brunching with friends, the Chicken and Waffles is a must-try, delivering a satisfying blend of savory and sweet. While some might wish for a crunchier waffle, the dish’s seasoning has been praised for its perfect balance, ensuring that there's no lingering sense of “umay” (fullness) that often accompanies heavier fare.

But the delights don’t stop there. A trip to The Black Bean wouldn’t be complete without savoring their renowned tiramisu, hailed by regulars like Maria Jasmine Tan as “probably the best” she’s ever had. With generous servings that defy the reasonable price point, you’ll find yourself coming back for another slice of this creamy, coffee-infused dessert.

The ambiance of The Black Bean enhances the eating experience, boasting a design that blends modern aesthetics with a cozy vibe. It’s not unusual to see patrons with laptops set up at tables, contributing to an environment that feels both productive and relaxed—ideal for a quiet work session or a lively catch-up with friends. However, as some guests noted, the music can be a bit loud at times, which might detract from a peaceful retreat. Yet, this lively atmosphere is perfect for social gatherings and casual hangouts.

Real customers echo these sentiments, with one diner, Naranzul Namur, describing it as a “gem” where affordability never compromises quality. Whether you are finishing off a thrilling day of free diving or simply exploring Parañaque, The Black Bean promises to refresh you with its delicious offerings and warm service. With ample parking and both cash and card acceptance, the café also ensures that your visit is hassle-free.

So, next time you’re in the neighborhood, don’t miss the opportunity to experience the culinary charm that The Black Bean has to offer. Whether for brunch, a casual coffee, or a sweet treat, the moments shared here are bound to be cherished.
