Utopia Books and Coffee: Visiting this Bookstore Cafe in Dumaguete, Philippines
✨"Aside from the mini work station, they also have another shelf where books are highlighted for the day. And, the cashier also informed us that since the owner was a Colleen Hoover Fan, it explains why most of the books found inside the cafe are her books. Aside from the popular books, the cafe also offers some second-hand novels that are still in good condition. The new books range from 8HBD-17HBD, while the used books are priced lower." @purplefreelancer
Afrocafe, a Coffee with Full Colour
✨"Besides, the decoration of the place caught my attention, because everything in it spoke of African culture, there were beautiful hand-painted murals with warm colors on cream-colored walls, giving it the perfect balance, on the other hand, there were also images of African women dressed in their beautiful dresses and implements of that culture. The artist, who decorated these walls, did it in a very beautiful, original way, and to finish giving the intimate and delicate touch, they illuminated the place with original elongated lamps hanging from a very high ceiling." @brujita18
Coffee & Breakfast At A Beach Restaurant
✨"My boyfriend prefers to sleep in during the weekends because he has to get up during the week to work and bring our daughter to school. He took that task upon himself ever since I had issues with the steep part of walking up to school. The issues vanished at some point during my pregnancy, but he said he should have these two walks to and from school, so he won't be glued to his office chair at home all week. I only have to do it when he's stuck in a meeting, which is nice, lol." @thisismylife
Coffee Break at "Isla": Our After-Class Chill Spot Across School in Cebu
✨"I went with their iced matcha espresso, which I heard a lot of good stuff about. It looked pretty in layers—green matcha at the bottom, creamy milk in the middle, and ice floating on top. My friend got the iced coffee with the same layered look. Both of them were sooo good! The matcha was not too bitter, just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. I can see why it’s a favourite." @sheeniiee
The cafe at the library
✨"A glass wall separates the cafe from the computers. I'm not sure if taking your order and sitting with a computer is discouraged. None of the screens were being used while I was there." @eolianpariah2
Endless Conversations over a Mug and a Bean
✨"While I do like to support small local coffee shops, I still enjoy the diverse menu at Mugg & Bean, a successful coffee shop franchise. Delicious food - generous meal portions, freshly baked goods, and of course, the wide range of excellent coffees and coffee-based drinks - House Blend or Mocha Java. Serious and Easy Cappuccino. Something new on their menu is a Sticky Toffee Latte - a single shot Espresso with texturised milk and a mini pecan toffee pudding; super indulgent!
And, on a hot day, I order a Chino Muggachino, the very best iced coffee!" @lizelle
A cafe between central gardens
✨"This is a four-star hotel, whose construction dates back to 1929 and which, despite its age, comprises a harmonious relationship between its eclectic structure and the modern in its design, respecting, in a recent reconstruction, elements that award it the owner of exquisite singularities such as stucco and grey Sevillano in its corridors and interiors of an imposing staircase decorated with Carrara marble, its Italian lamps that remind us of the aesthetic codes of the 1920s, gates of precious woods with finely worked glass, and a series of paintings, lamps and bronze sculptures from the 18th and 19th centuries that are complemented by a magnificently preserved imperial style furniture design." @roswelborges
Coffee Musings | Dipping
✨"There was usually some sort of cookie or bread to get in the coffee. Dipping is a fun thing to do. Even if the cookie gets soggy and ends up falling in the coffee, you can get it back at the end of the cup. You just have to sip.
At La Panetteria, they sell these Big Cookies. They are called that. They usually have a filling and some chocolate on top. It is by far one of the best things to dip in coffee. The best part is that usually while sharing one, I'll get some leftovers to keep dipping." @bertrayo
THE GLASS HOUSE AT PALAZZO VERDE COFFEE SHOP
✨"The Glasshouse has a unique appeal and has a picturesque view. The interior design blends with nature, where you can see different garden views. The wall of this shop creates a good atmosphere, and the ambience is so cool. This is also a modern architecture. Glass house has an elegant interior design, and this is also ideal to celebrate small events like birthdays and weddings." @desyah07
T1311 : Cromboloni Biscoff And Salted Caramel Creamy Macchiato
✨"There are several choices of Cromboloni, there are Nutella, chocolate, strawberry, matcha and biscoff (it seems there are still several other variants). And this time my choice is Cromboloni biscoff, the biscoff sauce is inside the cromboloni and on the outside, and you will also get biscoff biscuits.
I have tried several flavours of Cromboloni sold in this cafe, and I think this is the most fitting. " @sweetest
