The Giving Café and my second affogato
Found a comfortable, quiet café a couple of blocks away from home. I decided to work here for the afternoon, after a comforting Saturday nap.
The Giving Café (TGC): A Social Enterprise is surrounded by specialty coffee stores.
One gets the feeling that the management takes coffee seriously. But not too seriously: the place feels relaxed, almost like the cafés in Seoul, but more homey and familiar. The tables are long, there are plugs, and the internet is fast. The store offers free complimentary internet connection for an hour, and then it's Php 35 for each succeeding hour.
I'm surrounded by a couple who brought their charming daughter with them, working women deciding on a business plan, and friends who are catching up with life—it has a youthful, scholarly vibe, and it reminds me of old UP Diliman Main Library. My saucer features a quote by Steve Jobs.
The store closes at 10 PM, which is just about right—it's the time of the day when my productivity is at its lowest.
Before closing time, I'm having my second affogato for the week. I'm getting to love this dessert more and more.
