Cafeño Coffee House, San Juan, Batangas

On the way home, we were looking for a place that sold Barako Coffee (a coffee varietal grown in the Philippines, which really is a must try for all the tourists out there) and stumbled upon this great little coffee shop in San Juan, Batangas. Cafeño Coffee House, is like a vintage Starbucks in the Philippines. *cheap find!!*

Aside from the usual espresso, plain brewed coffee, and latte, they also have ice blended coffee with home-made ice cream on top. A must try!

Cafeño Coffee House Review:

For a pit stop, it really is not that bad, the location, however, is quite disturbing, as for it is located in the middle of the town proper, hence, there are many vehicles and other stores and many people passing by. The location is not great, but the coffee is. I must say, with all of the commotion going on on the outside of the shop, once we stepped inside, we felt that we were transported back in time, with all the glamour and vintage-y feel of the decor and stuff.

Overall experience?

We give Cafeño Coffee House 4 stars, for great coffee, and for transporting us back to the 60's. We recommend this place as a stop over whenever you're in Batangas.

Palm Beach Resort Review

The day before my boyfriend's birthday, we decided that we wanted to wake up the next day on a beach. Hurriedly, we surfed the internet for cheap resorts in the nearest beach we could find. Since we lived in the Laguna, the nearest would be Batangas. We found Palm Beach Resort in Bo. Hugom, San Juan, Batangas. The price was fairly low for the facilities and the services that they render. Great, great find! Overall? I would definitely, definitely go there again and would recommend it to everyone!

Note: Since I pretty much endorsed them like it was the best thing on earth, I would like to state that we are in no way affiliated with Palm Beach Resorts, nor do we or have we received any form of compensation for this review. Though we would love to. Kidding.

Roadtrip In The Philippines

There are a lot of tourist spots in the Philippines that are commercialized by the department of tourism, and, well, every other Filipino. They’re great, don’t get me wrong. But I think that there’s a lot more that our country has to offer. This blog aims to showcase the beauty and wonder of the discovered-but-not-so-commercialized places in the Philippines that we think deserves to be noticed.

I don’t think we can cover every tourist spot that there is in the entire country, but if you can recommend a place that you think deserves to be noticed, then please, leave a comment and we’ll see what we can do.

So wish us luck on our journey!
