Cafeño

My likeness for coffee shops is a known fact,  not because I'm a coffee addict but because of the ambience. I look for coffee shops filled with eternal silence where people do their own thing, either getting their noses buried in their books or wandering in the world wide web. Here in the community, there's Kappe Brako just within our vicinity so it's not much of a problem where to loiter around. Just this Tuesday after our arrival in San Juan, Batangas, Alaric introduced us to this old-school coffee shop that is quite famous not only for their kapeng barako but because of its vintage interiors. It's not like they actually meant the place to look vintage, IT IS REALLY OLD!!! This is owned by a Batangas old-rich family and they have preserved the place from its original form dated back in the 1950s.

I googled this. 

Googled, too. 

Here, Suzie showing her back at the camera. Look at the interiors. Anay na lang ang kulang. Haha! Seriously, it has this 1950s-1960s feeling. Missed my lola's old house. 

Aside from kapeng barako, they're also famous for their tamales, sticky rice suman with shredded coconut bits.


Block U at Cafeño. :D

Yes, this is the generation where women stands up while men are sitting comfortably.
