the coffee enthusiast and the tech-y photographer's sunday


last week, i read that there was a coffee shop that sold filipino coffee which opened in serendra so, the true coffee loving filipino that i am, we headed for KAPE ISLA.

the interior was cozy with dark wood furniture. i tried the chocnut cold coffee drink which turned out really greaaat! even their capuccinos were good. pastries consisted of bibingka and suman (of course RR doesnt eat suman so we tried the former) which had quezo de bola on top. yuuuummmyyy!

the service could have been a little better though especially since we were the only customers there (it was the soft opening). it would have been nice if the baristas were like those at starbucks, a little more chattier and knowledgable about filipino coffee beans, enthusiastic about their products. but they were confined behind the bar minding us only if we called them. i think a little service architecture would do the place some good.

of course our day ended with us selling RR's N70 to buy his much coveted Asus PDA phone. i could tell that he was suffering from a bit of separation anxiety (i know him too well) with his seemingly almost brand new Nokia (he's so maalaga with his things -so unlike me sometimes). when we got to the shop where the Asus was being sold their stocks ran out and we had to run all the way to north edsa to get it!


hehehe funny, the same thing happened to me when i got my first and most loved O2 atom. we had to go all the way to sta lucia to get it! but i did go home a happy owner!


i love my phone!
