Coffee & The Best Breakfast In Forever!

✨"We found a cute little croissanteria where they seemed to have a great variety of pastry, regular toasts and luxury toasts (which caught our attention immediately), so this meant even the little one would be happy ordering something non-toast, lol. She's still a little fussy when it comes to breakfast options." @thisismylife

Enjoying coffee in a colonial-style place

✨"The idea of having a coffee that would revitalize me encouraged me to enter the hotel. I climbed the steps that take us from the sidewalk to the terrace, but I did not stay here, because I was curious to know the interior of this emblematic hotel." @mayramalu

Brew-tiful Weekend | BGC Coffee Festival 2025

✨"As soon as we arrived, the first thing I noticed was the art. It's the same art style as last year. They did add floor art this time. It made the space more lively. The music also set the mood. We got there around 2 PM, and despite the heat, the place was crowded; everyone seemed to be fueled by coffee.
Of course, it's not a coffee festival without the coffee stalls. This year, there were a lot of coffee stalls added!" @cthings

Finding comfort near my home, Chai Cafe would be my place to go.

✨"The plan to dine here was long overdue because of the business hours. The operation time conflicted every time I was out; it was still closed. Yet, it was different today. Without having a second thought, we walked in.
The ambiance: It was just a tiny café, with minimalist design enough to cater few customers. The moment you entered, several chairs, a small table, and a long couch were available." @lhes

A big coffee toaster ahead

✨"The cafeteria has a predominance of yellow color in front of the bar, which gives an aspect of warm place, because also the tables are made of wood, some teapots are decorating, with some artificial branches, I find it quite comfortable because also at the back has a long piece of furniture that covers the entire wall along the place, covering about 5 tables approximately." @marialeovalless

The hidden Cafe in the Heart of Cagayan - An ordinary Sari-Sari store that turns into a Coffee Shop!

✨"I initially thought this cafe would be like any other I had visited, but everything felt different. The decor was vintage, featuring withered roses and an array of antiques and classic items. It was a unique blend of old and contemporary styles. The music playing was soothing, almost as if it were coming from the walls. I was surprised to discover that the speaker blended in so well that it looked like a part of the decor." @luthis26

Cold weather, hot coffee

✨"Every day when I get up the first thing I do is to place the coffee pot or the pot to make coffee and thus taste a delicious cup that serves me to finish waking up, likewise every day after lunch at home, rest a little, I feel like a cup of coffee at snack and that is what I do before I go back to work in the company of my wife who is a coffee lover loves coffee at all times, usually in my house is not missing the coffee pot full of coffee. " @gpache

Experiencing Coffee -- Brewed in a Siphon Coffee Maker -- After a Feijoada Dinner in Rio

✨"The vapor pressure in the bottom chamber forces hot water up through the tube, which hits the coffee grounds from the bottom up. I was surprised how fast the bottom chamber heated up. I suspect that the water that was in the bottom chamber was already hot and only needed the Bunsen burner to knock it over the edge to the state of turning the water into vapor." @web-gnar

Late night coffee 🌙☕

✨"I don't usually drink coffee late at night, but last Saturday was something peculiar. Gabriel, my best friend, received a pass to go home since he is serving in the military. Then he called me to go out for a walk, drink coffee and catch up. How could I refuse?" @claudiocruz

A Long Overdue Visit to Kahoy Café: A Nature-Inspired Coffee Escape in Consolacion, Cebu

✨"We settled ourselves in an outdoor area which offered a perfect combination of fresh air and scenic surroundings. It's like you're having a sip of coffee in the middle of the woods. The establishment provided an exceptional escape from city commotion, along with its typical city sounds. Sitting at this place was a therapeutic experience that turned into a healing session. It's more like enjoying the coffee and meditating at the same time." @jeannmazing

View Café: Where the Sea and Solitude Brew Perfectly Together!

✨"If you're with family or friends, it becomes a conversation over clinking cups and laughter; if you're alone, it becomes a private moment of introspection with a warm mug in hand, possibly some lo-fi music, or the sound of rain outside." @teacherlynlyn

Anecdote at Café Amarelo

✨"Café Amarelo is a very nice and warm café. The ceiling is brightly decorated with artificial plants that give the impression of nature. However, I noticed the modern style of the tables and chairs. It has a small space, where you can find sophisticated and comfortable furniture. There is also a small lounge with a nice bicycle; it is inevitable to take a few photos." @antoniarhuiz

My coffee lists to try ☕

✨"I am surprised to have tasted so many brands in less than a year. I feel that I still have not found my perfect coffee. So while we continue in the search, although I am not sure which of all these varieties I will take first: Yocoima, Osole, Yautana, Diar or Napoli, but the good thing is that I already have a place to buy it, I hope as soon as possible to go for one of them, every time I go, I will cross off my list of coffee to try. While I recommend Ka'i Kashi coffee, another time I will bring you the review and my tastings of it, until the next experience 🤗🥰☕." @neilamarcano
