Cebu has seen a lot of emerging cafes and restaurants, each with its own unique gimmick. Our town is no exception. Over the past 2–3 years, I’ve seen many cafes pop up here and there. I’m glad one recently opened near my home.
Situated beside ASA Philippines in Brgy. Tungkop, Minglanilla, is 5AM Coffee. Although it usually opens around lunchtime, the cafe was named to embrace slow mornings and the peace that comes with them.
Unfortunately, I can no longer enjoy a cup of coffee without feeling guilty about my gut health. Instead, I ordered a cup of hot chocolate (I know it’s still not ideal for my gut, but it’s the lesser evil) and paired it with a regular croissant. I don’t know about you, but I’m used to dunking my bread into hot chocolate, that’s how I enjoyed my order. On the other hand, my friend ordered a waffle paired with iced mocha.
I like the location of this cafe, especially a corner where you can see the mountains and some greenery. I found out it’s a perfect spot for sunset viewing, but I’ll tell you, it gets really hot during golden hour when the sun is still blazing before it sets. When I return, that will probably be my spot of choice!
It’s weird how time seems to slow down here, as if the place runs on a different clock. My friend and I had so much to talk about, and surprisingly, we were able to share a lot.
Anyway, this coffee shop is cozy enough for me to come back again soon. The food is good and the ambience is peaceful. I might bring a book the next time I visit, or I might tag along another friend or two! We'll see 😊
Thank you for reading my post up to this point. I hope you have a great time ahead!
I'll take delight in writing for you again soon.
Love,
