A Cumulative Café List to Help Rediscover Your Coffee Appreciation

I was 21 years old, when I noticed my brewing lifelong love affair with coffee. The mermaid-logoed, auburn-colored, pint-sized, smooth-finished go to drink settled its Iced Caramel Macchiato rapport with me, back when I was a neophyte wage earner. During those initial years of trying learning the ways of the world, I unearthed this habit of sitting 1:1 with my manager-turned-friend in this unassuming Starbucks café corner, beside this floor to ceiling glass window, and observe the overexcited city of Manila unfold right before us. As I neatly exchanged ideas about work dreams and non-work daydreams over cups of coffee, my fervor for the caffeine taste became deeply rooted. Ahhh, good memories.

From learning how to brew, trying out latte art, sipping hot coffee by the beach, discovering unconventional types of coffee fixes, tasting the best coffee in the universe ---- to meeting cool coffee shop owners, and spending quality time in life changing coffee places, just when I think that I have brewed it all, there comes another coffee shop that would give me another kind of caffeinated kick of inspiration. Coffee continues to allow me to have that sense of gratitude and wonder towards the world.

To coffee hop, at your own pace, is an idea that’s neither unconventional nor unheard of, I am sure of that, right? It’s spending a large portion of your day somewhere in a coffee shop, or visiting as many coffee places as possible. It’s a to-do activity if you’d like to get your juices heightened up, and discover a different side of culture - from a place where ideas, conversations, and communities get hitched altogether! We are all for that sense of taste, aroma, and double shot approval.

Be it beans, bagels, donuts, espressos, cups, au laits, mugs, hipster furnitures, alternative spaces, cool decors, and unlimited WIFIs; or whether it’s in the crazy streets of Bangkok, or the chaotic avenues of Manila, Amsterdam, Singapore, Paris, or any place near you, the cafe-coffee scene has transformed into one of the best, most favorite, and top things to do, which both locals and expats prefer to spend their time on.

So yes, this is not a definitive expert guide of some sort, and certainly this list is just the best of the best only in my book. I have mustered the courage to visit more than 100+ coffee shops, and drank more than 1000+ cups of mochas, americanos, cappuccinos, and frappes. These are my coffee favored places which hopefully you can try and experience for yourself. Look for your favorite drink, and special spot - who knows, you just might get that climactic caffeine celebration.

And yes, let me know if you need your café to be reviewed, or if you need a coffee buddy. :-)
