Reviews for AFTERHOURS by Pilotos Grounds
Review highlights
Based on 49 reviewsAFTERHOURS by Pilotos Grounds in Batangas City is praised for its flavorful and somewhat spicy food offerings, particularly their pasta dishes. The coffee quality receives mixed feedback; while some appreciate the good coffee and customizable drinks, the limited availability of certain options like cappuccino is noted. Customers also highlight the pleasant ambiance and the venue's unique open-space design, though the location near a busy road results in occasional dust and noise from passing vehicles. The venue’s distance from the city is seen as a refreshing escape, complemented by polite and professional staff, despite occasional order mishaps. Pricing is considered on the higher side, but many visitors find the experience worth revisiting.
Good food. Bit saucy pasta. 3 Stars only as they do not serve cappuccino. Had to content on their cafe latte plus extra shot. Lots of parking. Tends to get busy. Located alongside bypass road, gets dusty when vehicles pass by. Small indoor area, mostly open space area to eat.
Great food, the shrimp pasta is spicy indeed, I’ll go for the food but not for the drinks, if you don’t drink alcohol beverage, it’s not the best choice but if you do, then go
Food is good. Ngl, it's pricey but this is my second time here. I would certainly come back to treat myself once in a while. It's very instagrammable as well.
The selection of their drinks is great. You can also ask them to customize your drinks or desserts to your liking. The place is a but far from the city but this can be its strong points. A bit of an escape from the people. The crew was very polite and professional. Need to improve on taking orders as they forgot one of our orders. Overall a good experience.
Coffee is good but the truffle fries they served were soaked in oil. Good ambiance.
