Cubao eXpo: The Next Evolution Series
Drinking Chocnut Coffee @ Green Halo Cafe… (Halo Cafe Menu 1 | 2 | 3 | 4)
Halo is famous for its organic and healthy menu, but it is also infamous for its waiting time of 30 minutes for one’s order. It is not that popular among the Cubao eXpo crowd, except for its Chocnut Coffee (P55).
SPUTNIK COMICS!
You can find the latest copies of Juxtapoz Magazine from the US or Giant Robot Magazine from Japan in Sputnik…
…or read the original adventures of a very interesting character, who has a cult following in the comic circle.

CUBAO EXPO CANTEEN
Cubao eXpo has a canteen that most people patronize, whether just to buy simple drinks, simple food or snacks.
BREATHING SPACE
Breathing Space is a store for gift options, novelties and collections like snow globes and other figurines. However, the most coveted piece in the store is one of the original pictures of Tetchie Agbayani for Playboy.
I LOVE YOU STORE!
We have always been fans of the I Love You store even when it was still located in Makati. I’m glad that they found their final home in Cubao eXpo. It is a place where you can spot surprising and unique finds.
The ground floor turns into a bar at night. At times, it becomes the center of the night life in Cubao eXpo.
HERITAGE ARTS & ANTIQUITIES
Heritage owns an enviable spot at the prime corner area of Cubao eXpo. They have a lot of old paintings, books and different art pieces. Don’t expect a lot because most of the best pieces can be found in the Main Store on 4th Avenue corner Main Avenue.
They also have an interesting display of vinyl single records and other long-playing records.

When is the best time to go to Cubao X? I went there yesterday at around 5 PM and a lot of the shops were closed. Should I go at night or at a different day?
Thanks in advance.
The best time is Friday and Saturday 5pm onwards.
I love CUBAO X for Bellini’s and Sharon Atillo’s I love you store. I didn’t liked Halo’s food. It’s not good. Na disappoint kami ng mom ko.

Hi Anton!
I would like to ask who should I contact at Cubao Expo? I want to have our pre nup pictorial there. 🙂
Halo Café is awesome! Masarap ng kanin duun!! I went there yesterday. It was delicious. It reminded me of the food in France!
I love Cubao X! I lose track of time whenever I find myself there. Geo Shop is one of my faves for their organic stuff (all locally sourced). Perfect example that choosing to live natural and healthy need not be expensive. I dig the artsy, vintage and quirky feel of the place 🙂
Hello po I just want to ask if there is an entrance fee for cubao expo…
I love Earth Green Shop! It’s really great! I love their tree tea essential oil and their rosemary essential oil!
