Discover Greatea Smart Café, an innovative destination in Cotabato City that beautifully marries modern technology with a cozy café experience. Nestled right in front of the PAG-IBIG Fund Cotabato Office on Notre Dame Ave, this spot is not just a café; it’s a thrilling foray into “smart” dining, making it a must-visit for tech enthusiasts and food lovers alike.

From the moment you step in, the ambiance enchants with its tasteful Japanese aesthetics, accentuated by smart technology. Greatea is indeed making waves as one of the first smart cafés in the Philippines, featuring automation that enhances comfort and convenience. Enjoy the clever lighting that responds to movement, the self-ordering system via QR code, and an impressively tidy restroom equipped with a Japanese bidet. The café's atmosphere is clean and calming, making it perfect for quick meetings or simply unwinding with friends over a cup of coffee.

One particular standout is their extensive drink menu where you can indulge in fantastic brews like the signature “Popeye's Kofi” – a belting cup that's bound to awaken your senses. For those looking for something refreshing, the "HoneyLuya by Bamboo Lemonade" is a fan favorite, particularly when served hot, imbuing a soothing ginger essence that’s especially comforting. Pair your beverage with some of their offerings like the highly praised Beef Gyudon, which is known for its fabulous taste and texture, or explore other delightful menu items that guarantee satisfaction.

The café takes pride in its technological advancements, from the automatic vacuum that cleans the space to the high-speed Wi-Fi available for all customers. Many patrons like Giovanni Villafuerte have raved about the speed and efficiency of the service, ensuring you won’t be kept waiting. However, it’s worthwhile to note, as customer reviews indicate, that they do not currently accept GCash or card payments – so come prepared with cash to enjoy your visit fully. And if you’re looking for more than just a coffee break, Greatea also offers a serene meeting room upstairs, making it an excellent choice for workshops or collaborative sessions.

Free your mind and relish great music while you sip on your favorite drink, just like aldin betaa who celebrated the café’s harmonious blend of ambiance and sounds. The limited parking might be a small drawback, yet it provides ample opportunity to take a leisurely stroll through the vibrant area surrounding the café.

So whether you’re a local looking for a fresh spot to unwind or a traveler wanting to explore the technological wonders of Cotabato City, Greatea Smart Café promises a unique and enjoyable experience. Come and see for yourself—this café isn’t just about smart devices; it’s about creating a smart lifestyle!

I really like their HoneyLuya by Bamboo Lemonade. I usually ask if they can serve it hot so I can feel the soothing effect of the ginger.

One of the best cafes in Cotabato with its japanese aesthetics and smart devices. Also the best Beef Gyudon and Blueberry Lemonade I've ever had. The staff is also friendly and accommodating. Wifi is fast, there's also a meeting room upstairs if you want to do some workshops. This became my office during my two month stay in Cotabato. Highly recommended!

This might be first ever smart cafe in the Philippines. You can self order through your food, connects to the wifi through qr code, has google home, vacuum robot and their bathroom light is motion sensored. Technology aside, the food we ordered was great and delicious! Worth trying
