A Little Coffee Escape at Ahon Cafe

esciisc — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 10:09:30 GMT

Some places are better discovered without a plan. 🌿✨

After volunteering, my friend Koleen and I decided to take a little detour and somehow ended up at Ahon Cafe in Antipolo, Rizal just because we were craving for some coffee and matcha. It wasn’t really part of our plan for the day, we just thought, why not? And somehow, that spontaneous decision became one of the best memories I can think of.

It was around 10:30 in the morning when we arrived, so the place was still quiet with only a few people around. Most people come here at night to see Metro Manila covered in city lights, but I actually loved seeing it this way.

Greenery everywhere, cool morning air, and that peaceful overlooking view of the city. It felt like a little escape from the busy world below.

Of course, no cafe adventure is complete without food.

I ordered my favorite matcha since I still had to sleep after, along with their classic cheeseburger. Koleen had a Spanish latte with their chunky chicken and tuna sandwich.

Everything was really good and satisfying. A little pricey, but I guess we’re also paying for the view.

Came for the matcha/coffee and the view, stayed because this cute little resident. 10/10 would visit again for him 😻🐾

We spent the rest of the time just relaxing and talking about random stuff. Nothing fancy, just a peaceful morning with good food, good company, and a beautiful view.

Definitely a little adventure worth taking.

Took a snap enjoying the view while waiting for our food 🌿

A Slice of London Chocolate Cake Drizzled with Coffee Sauce

pandaradvanture — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 03:55:15 GMT

Hi dear bloggers and community!! Happy holidays and have a great weekend. On this Saturday in early October, I went out with my friends to a coffe shop, this place called Common Folks it was my first time there. Judging by the decor and menu, they specialize in coffee and pastries. The place isn’t very big, and since it was the weekend, it was pretty crowded so much so that there was even a waiting list.

They even sell coffee in a pretty bottle that you can enjoy right away, and in their pastry display case, they have a wide selection of croissants, they even have bagels and sourdough here.

Here, I ordered their new menu item, the London Chocolate Cake, and the Fried Lumpia Platter. For drinks, my friend ordered palm sugar coffee, and I went with Yakult. The dish we ordered was quite intriguing, it's the London Chocolate Cake. It’s been the talk of the town in my area lately because of its beautiful shape and mouthwatering layers. Each layer consists of sponge cake filled with chocolate ganache and caramel cream with a hint of coffee. A sprinkle of salt adds even more depth of flavor. I tasted both sweet and bitter notes in a single bite of this slice, it’s the perfect way to kick off the month. This cake is truly delicious.

The soft sponge cake pairs perfectly with the sweet and bitter cream, I think I’m in love with this cake. And the best part? When drizzled with the coffee sauce, the cake becomes twice as delicious; the flavors just come together perfectly. I’m currently cutting back on my coffee intake, but for this one, I think I’ll keep coming back for more it’s so addictive.

As for the Fried Lumpia Platter, the portion is quite generous and it’s delicious, too. It includes creamy fried lumpia filled with sausage and onion, as well as spring rolls filled with shrimp, rice noodles, and vegetables. But my favorite part is the fried sweet potatoes sprinkled with parsley, yummy... I love them. Maybe next time I’ll come back here to explore the food and drinks they have because everything looks interesting. Okay, that’s all for today see you in another story. Thank you

Coffee Date with my Daughter at Carbon Cafe

sassy.cebuana — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 02:48:36 GMT

Hi, loves! It’s been a while since I shared a little piece of my life here. 🤎 Things have been extra busy lately because I’ve been juggling work, studies, and being a mom all at the same time. Yes, you read that right, I’m back to school! 📚✨ I decided to continue my studies and finally finish my bachelor’s degree soon. It’s definitely challenging to balance everything, but I’m reminding myself that it’s never too late to work toward a dream.

That’s why weekends have become even more precious to me. Whenever I get a little break from work and school, I try to make time for the person who matters most—my daughter. 💕 And this weekend, we had another little mother-and-daughter date at one of the cutest cafés we’ve visited lately: Carbon Café.

From the moment we arrived, I already loved the vibe. The café has this charming, cozy, and aesthetic atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and simply enjoy the moment. The beautiful wooden doors, warm tones, plants, and little details around the café gave it such a relaxed and inviting feel. It was definitely a nice place to escape from the usual busy routine.

For my drink, I ordered an Iced Spanish Latte, creamy, sweet, and just the kind of coffee I needed for a weekend café date. ☕️ My daughter went for a classic Coca-Cola, because apparently, Mom can have her fancy coffee while she sticks to her favorite. 😂❤️

Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying something sweet! I had the blueberry cheesecake, and it was such a lovely little treat. The cheesecake was creamy with that delicious blueberry topping, and it was the perfect companion to my iced latte. My daughter had carbonara, and we also added some French fries to share because every mother-daughter date needs a little extra snack. 🍰🍝🍟

And yes, I had to take a few outfit photos while I was there! 😍 I kept my look comfortable but still put-together—a checkered oversized jacket over a white top, black shorts, sneakers, sunglasses, and a brown bag. Basically, casual café-date mom but make it cute. 🤭

More than the food or the pretty café, though, what I loved most was simply having time with my daughter. Between work deadlines, school requirements, and everything life throws at us, these little moments remind me to pause and enjoy what really matters.

Here’s to more coffee dates, food trips, random photos, and precious weekends with my girl. 🤎✨

Until our next little adventure! ☕️💕
Where to next?

Kopi Petik: Cozy Cafe

sweetest — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 13:35:51 GMT

Hello guys....

How are you all? I hope you are all well and always happy. Meet me again, nice to meet you all. I'm back with my story, I'll tell you about the various activities I do.

This time, I visited a new café called Kopi Petik. It isn't actually a brand-new café overall, but this specific branch near my home is new—it opened less than a month ago. I had bought coffee from Kopi Petik several times before, but always via online orders; now that they are located close by, I decided to visit the café in person.

This is a simple café—very simple. It doesn't have much in the way of décor; it is just a white room with a few benches. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, and there is a designated smoking area.

The menu selection isn't very extensive; there are options for coffee, tea, chocolate, refreshing drink and matcha, as well as food items like spaghetti, noodles, and toasted bread.

And naturally, I’ll order the coffee—"Kopi Petik," which is the name of the drink and matches the café's name. It’s their signature item and their best-seller, available in two sizes: regular and jumbo.

Coffee, milk, and palm sugar—my favorite combination. It offers a delicious, straightforward coffee flavor—not too strong, yet not too light—complemented by creamy milk and the sweet, tasty notes of palm sugar.

In my opinion, a coffee with a simple flavor profile like this is very easy for many people to enjoy. As for me personally, I can drink this kind of simple coffee regardless of my mood, and it suits any occasion.

Although this café has just opened here (specifically in Medan Johor, Indonesia), it is already bustling with customers. It offers a comfortable, cool atmosphere, making it a great spot for hanging out or working from a café (WFC).

Okay, that's my activity this time. Thank you for reading my story, see you in my next story~

Playing Billiard and Coffee ☕☕☕ A Perfect Combi of Pleasure and Work 🐝🐝🐝

antonette — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 04:34:00 GMT

Greetings to all coffee lovers from all over the world ! Welcome to my another coffee blog experience which is the combination of coffee and billiard experience in one cafe.

A friend of mine told me about this cafe at Ayala mall.What more I like in this cafe is that outside there is a mini park where my kids can play so they won't disturb me while working online.

Meanwhile my eldest daughter and I work's inside the cafe.I do also watching outside from cafe because of it is sorrounded with trees and plants.While at the same time I do enjoy watching my kids playing in a mini park sorrounded with mini nature.

When we get inside the cafe its almost full of customers we need to wait for a vacant table then I order spanish latte as usual my favorite then my eldest daughter doesnt like coffee.I guess thats what mostly teen's dislikes coffee so I order milktea for her.

In the right side area of the cafe there is a room of billiard table.I remember when I was 20 years old I was taught to play billiard so I hurry up working online and sipping coffee due to I am getting interested to play billiard.

So I rent a billiard table for one hour and give it a try if I still know how to play billiard and yes I still know how to play so my eldest daughter and I play billiards.

A few minutes later my kids arrive after playing in the mini park and they like to play as well and we enjoy so much playing the billiards.I found a new hangout where my kids and I can spend quality together while I am enjoying my coffee.

It was a relieve and satisfaction and distressing as well it was a great coffee experience.

A cappuccino to say goodbye to Caracas [Eng-Esp]

chacald.dcymt — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 22:01:48 GMT

Greetings, fellow coffee lovers! Welcome back to my blog. This time, I want to tell you about my visit to a very elegant coffee shop with delicious coffee that brightened my day. It’s called Zaituna Café—come along with me, and I’ll show you around.

Amid my busy schedule and the chaos of feeling like I wouldn’t have enough time, I took a few minutes to stop by the Sambil in Chacao during my visit to Caracas to take care of some travel paperwork.

I love this place—it’s so spacious, modern, and, above all, so centrally located. I’ve had the chance to visit it several times before, but this time I was able to enjoy a delicious cappuccino at Zaituna Coffee.

I was simply drawn in by the aroma of freshly ground coffee. I walked over to one of the railings in the hallways, and beneath the imposing, luminous dome, I spotted this picturesque sign on the café’s ceiling. I thought it was an impressive marketing strategy.

It’s a cozy place with an impeccable menu of coffee and specialties. The service is wonderful. It makes you want to stay seated and relax while enjoying the delicious hot coffee.

I’m a huge fan of coffee shops like this. I love that, in addition to good coffee, they offer an experience—and that’s exactly what Zaituna gave me during my whirlwind visit to Venezuela’s capital.

I thought I might have been able to do a few things—like stroll around the city—on my long trip from the state of Táchira, but as I said, my time was very limited. I was glad to be able to enjoy this frothy coffee, which gave me the energy to continue on my journey.

After leaving Zaituna, I had to board the bus that would take me home. That’s how I said goodbye to Caracas; I know it will be a long time before I visit this beautiful city again, but thanks to this coffee, I’m taking home a lovely memory.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. See you next time. Bye!

Un Capuchino para de despedirme de Caracas

¡Saludos amigos amantes del café! Sean bienvenidos una vez más a mi blog. En esta oportunidad para contarles mi visita a una cafetería muy elegante y con un delicioso café que me alegró el día. Se trata de Zaituna café, acompáñenme y les muestro.

En medio de mi apretada agenda y el caos de que no iba a alcanzar mi tiempo, me detuve unos minutos para pasar por el Sambil de Chacao en mi visita a Caracas por tramites de viaje.

Me encanta este lugar tan amplio, moderno y sobre todo tan céntrico.ya he tenido la oportunidad de visitarlo varias veces pero en esta oportunidad pude disfrutar de un delicioso Capuchino en Zaituna café.

Me atrajo simplemente con el aroma a café recién molido. Me acerqué a uno de barandales de los pasillos y bajo la imponente cupula luminosa estaba este pintoresco letrero en el techo de la cafetería. Me pareció una impresionante estrategia de marketing.

Un lugar acogedor, con un menú de café y me specialidades impecable. La atención maravillosa. Te dan ganas de quedarte sentado, relajarte mientras disfrutas del delicioso café caliente.

Soy fanática de las cafeterias de este estilo. Me gusta que además de un buen café te ofrezcan una experiencia y es lo que Zaituna me regaló en mi visita relámpago por la capital de Venezuela.

Yesterday was International Coffee Day. I didn’t know this date even existed, despite being a hopeless addict to its flavor and aroma. I suppose every day of the year celebrates something different, but for me, every single day could be Coffee Day.

Well, yesterday I had to work, but I didn’t take my usual route. Instead, I changed my path in search of new views, especially because I left earlier than ever. I had all the time in the world.

It was worth experimenting, because I stumbled upon a new spot to enjoy a good coffee. I now have several places in La Habana Vieja I can count on whenever the craving hits—which is almost always.

The place is called Karibuni Café. I don’t know what that name means, but what really matters is how cozy and peaceful the place is. Besides coffee, they also sell other options, making it a great spot to go with friends sometime, not to mention it’s affordable and good quality.

I had plenty of time, but I couldn’t overdo it, since lately time just flies and before you know it, you’re late. So I ordered a café bombón to go and continued on my way to work. The bombón was delicious, with just the balance I like, so I regretted not ordering two—or maybe they could even serve a double in one cup. I don’t know, I’ll have to ask.

Even though it was a short stay, I liked the place so much that I was tempted to ask if they had job openings. Hopefully no one at El Lucero finds out about this 😂.

Of course, I promised myself I’d go back soon, to sit down calmly and enjoy it more objectively. Once I do, you’ll be the first to know how it went. See you soon

Greetings to everyone and welcome to my blog.

Congratulations to all coffee lovers on their special day

As many of us already know, International Coffee Day is celebrated every October 1. This date is dedicated to recognizing the diversity, quality, and importance of one of the most widely consumed products in the world.

This date was established in March 2014 by the ICO (International Coffee Organization), with the aim of providing a day that would allow consumers and coffee lovers to celebrate the history and value of the work carried out by producers and marketers in this industry. Source consulted on Instagram

As a coffee lover, I wanted to celebrate by compiling some moments when I enjoyed a cup of coffee over the course of a year—and also to take advantage of the fact that yesterday was “Thursdays of Memories.” I actually wanted to post this yesterday, but I just couldn’t manage it. It was also difficult to choose just one image per month, so some months have two images.

This collection I’m sharing with you spans from October 2025 to October 2026. A year of happily embracing this tradition.

The image from October 2025 was taken at the Maderos café, a well-known spot in the city of El Tigre.

By November 2025, the coffee breaks were already taking on a Christmas feel, without losing our Llanero essence—specifically, guayoyo coffee.

The coffee moments of December 2025 were all about Christmas.

The January 2026 photo captures the first coffee of the year.

February 2026 shows my first mug of the year, bought at Baratodo.

March 2026 features two cherished mugs: an enamel one I was gifted, and another made by local artisans that my son bought for me.

April 2026 captures a day of coffee and work, featuring my Orinoco mug.

May 2026 shows a coffee in my "pets" mug.

The June 2026 photos were taken at home, featuring a mix of black coffee and café con leche.

July 2026 showcases my mom's mugs.

The August 2026 photos show a traditional breakfast and a visit to the Hospisalud café.

The September 2026 photos are the most varied, reflecting coffee breaks during workouts, work, and quiet moments at home.

The October 2026 photos reflect dates that are significant to me, such as Pink October and the approach of Christmas.

And so, I wrap up this journey through a year of coffee moments—sharing some of my favorite snapshots to celebrate International Coffee Day. Have a wonderful end to the work week!
