Homey Ambience
The Bintana Coffee House has a rather homey ambience unlike what one can feel in large coffee chains. The place can be considered as a place where artists can sit back and relax while having a cup of coffee. When the café had its grand opening in 2013, it featured some of the works of K Paler Rivera. Joshua Reganot and Ana Diores also performed during the opening.
