Commune Cafe + Bar is known for its own exclusive blend of coffee, the Commune Blend with Arabica Beans for flavor and aroma and Robusta for that soothing boldness. It's the flavorful base for their extensive coffee creations... 

...like the Flat White, with rich and creamy frothy milk and espresso coming together in a seamless and balanced cup conspiring for a relaxing and deeply personal moment with each sip.  

The seemingly never-ending debate on the origins and merits of a Flat White versus Cafe Latte continues to be popular coffee talk but here's the low down. A typical latte with more than the usual milk brings a sweeter finish with subtle coffee notes while the Flat White with its use of a more concentrated espresso or ristretto delivers a bolder finish even with the creamy milk and frothy milk foam. Purists can argue all day long, but everything is settled after that first sip. The Flat White at Commune Cafe + Bar offers a deep and nutty profile mellowed by the velvety smooth layers of milk that just makes your day a whole lot better. No argument there. The richness of Philippine coffee used at Commune Cafe + Bar has an indulgent smoothness followed by rounded and full flavors without any bitter hints.
