iChill Theater Cafe - Sampaloc

This café is a fantastic spot for an evening out at the theatre.

I absolutely adore iChill! I have been a loyal customer since my college days, and whenever I find myself in the area, I always make it a point to visit. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is unique, with songs from popular musicals playing in the background, setting it apart from other coffee shops. Their coffees have creative names, with my favorite being the Janis Japlin, and they also offer delicious spicy beef ramen and pizza. When I'm on a budget, I stick to their popcorn and waffles, which are definitely worth every penny. The second floor serves as an event space where people always seem to be having a great time. What sets iChill apart is their open mic nights, where customers are encouraged to perform without fear of judgement. My friends and I have taken the stage and had a blast singing our hearts out. iChill truly embraces diversity and talent with open arms.

This restaurant is a one-of-a-kind spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, unwind, get some work done, and even showcase your talent. The owner is very attentive and accommodating. The space is a bit small and visually busy, with two floors, each equipped with its own stage. The wifi here is top-notch. Occasionally, there are shows of various kinds. However, the clientele primarily consists of students who are more focused on their studies than the live performances.

Very cozy you can do pretty much whatever you want. The food is nice too and when you sing on the open mic they will give you free food.

Slow service and limited seating space available, but has a nice ambiance and theme.
