They share the avenue with De La Salle University, at 2401 Taft, which had 26,747 students in the 2025–26 school year.3

Makati, Mandaluyong and San Juan

Nihon Cafe, a Japanese-inspired café, has branches at 78 Estrella Street in Bel-Air, on Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong and on Metropolitan Avenue; in January 2026 its menu ran from tamago at ₱210 to wagyu beef cubes at ₱330.4 The Estrella Street and Shaw Boulevard branches are open 24 hours.

Pancho Cafe, at 102 Benavidez Street in Legazpi Village, never closes; at its Maysilo Circle branch in Mandaluyong, The Beat Asia priced a latte at ₱200 and an Americano at ₱180, and described the café as a place to work, unwind or talk at any hour.4 Sibs Coffee Roasters on Barangka Drive in Mandaluyong has Wi-Fi, TNC at 41 Aurora Boulevard in San Juan has Wi-Fi and is smoke-free, and Sekretong hardin is on Santol Street in Makati. Nihon Café on Shaw Boulevard has outdoor seating.

Round-the-clock hours here run seven days a week: Sekretong hardin at 8760 Santol Street and Nihon Cafe on Estrella Street and Shaw Boulevard keep the same hours on Sundays as on weekdays, so a weekend night needs no planning around closing time.

Sampaloc and BGC

Near UST, PapJap is open 24 hours, and Sumu Cafe on España Boulevard covers most of the night, until 03:00. In BGC, The Fat Seed, at 1 27th Street, has Wi-Fi and never closes. The Beat Asia also counted Pocofino's branch in BGC Corporate Center 2 among the city's 24-hour cafés, with an iced latte at ₱200 in January 2026.4

Breakfast at the end of a shift

A night shift ends with pandesal. Most bakeries bake it in the morning for breakfast, though some bake all day, and it is eaten hot, plain or dipped in coffee.5 NextGen Cafe, a 24-hour café on Mindanao Avenue in Novaliches, Quezon City, serves it from 03:00 to 07:00.4

The all-night cafés double as the first stops of the morning: Station 85 Cafe in Malate and The Fat Seed in BGC serve at 05:00 as readily as at midnight.
