Visiting the cafe early in the morning, we were treated to their breakfast specialty.
Colle de Don Bosco, Php 50
The Colle de Don Bosco was light, fluffy, and downright yummy. The toast was warmed to perfection and it tasted quite creamy. I’m not sure the chips make for a good breakfast side dish, though.
Brewed Coffee, Php 30
Ahh, brewed coffee from the barako capital of the country, Batangas. One cup is strong and enough to perk you up. Sure worked for me.
Malunggay Citrus, Php 50
Don’t let this drink fool you into thinking it’s just another health drink. The malunggay citrus has the right amount of sweetness with just a little bit of tang. This drink is best served cold and probably goes with a big breakfast meal.
All throughout the day and throughout the week, Coffee and Saints serves up specialties for every meal period—breakfast, lunch, merienda, and dinner. Their meals are affordable and you get every peso’s worth and leave the restaurant feeling filled.
Aside from the breakfast treat, I was also given some of their products:
Honey and Peanut Butter Jars
Other products available at the café.
Being much more than just a cafe, Coffee & Saints has provided an avenue for young boys to live up to their motto, “Empowered to Soar High”. Aside from their advocacy, the success of Coffee and Saints also lies in the many trainings that the boys have undergone.
The team behind Coffee and Saints Cafe is proud to have trained under the tutelage of some of the country’s most prestigious chefs and culinary personalities: Nancy Reyes-Lumen, celebrity chef best known as the Philippines’ “Adobo Queen” who volunteered to audit the boys’ performances to achieve more efficient and professional waiter service; and Bing Arenas, chef and son of Pangasinan Governor Baby Arenas who trains the boys on cooking and restaurant service. Chef Bing also helped expand Coffee and Saints’ menu and helped improve their food presentation.
Thank you, Coffee and Saints Café!
