"A rare find of a Filipino coffee shop far from Queens, Williamsburg’s Mountain Province serves fair trade, single-origin coffee from the mountainous regions of the Philippines that you can enjoy in their space designed as an homage to the owner’s lola (grandmother). I like to pair a strong cup of coffee with ensaymada, a rich brioche bun stuffed with ube custard, blanketed by a layer of butter and sugar - especially since theirs are fresh and always retain their fluffiness. If you’re in the mood for more than a coffee and pastry merienda, Mountain Province also has paninis, picadillo buns, and some other lunch items." - paolo espanola
