Hello to all my Cinnamon Cup Of Coffee family!
Yesterday, July 16th, I turned a year older. I haven't had any plans of commending my birthday as usual and didn't actually cook anything at home. Around 1 pm, I was looking over my Facebook newsfeed searching for another cafe - something exceptional and some place I haven't been to. You know, espresso makes everything marvelous. I decided in the event that If I could find an extraordinary one, then, at that point, I plan of going out. I have posted a couple of cafes around here in my area and the majority of them are located somewhere close to the beach .
Finally after a few hours of browsing, I found someone posted about a Cafe By The River somewhere here in my Province La Union (Bauang) -2 towns from my town. I looked through on the web and found it's about an hour drive from our home. I immediately got dressed and hired a trike to take me and my daughter @naniplayergamer to the said place.

(Cafe By The River)
We left the house around 4pm and it was somewhat gloomy right then. It began pouring on our way there and I got a bit disappointed in light of the fact that I planned of taking some photographs of the sunset.
At the point when we arrived, my anxieties turned into excitements. Look at that view. Isn't it gorgeous? Well, for a nature lover like me, it is! It was somewhat muddy however, that didn't bother me at all. I'm glad I brought my daughter's old rain boots.

Going to the cafe, we had to cross a short bamboo bridge to get there. The area is huge and there were some tents set up where you could take some photographs. It took us a couple of minutes taking photos before we decided to get something to drink and eat.

Right after crossing the bridge, cameras started to do its purpose.

So yeah, after a couple of random shots, time to get caffeinated!
This is the entire cafe set-up made of nipa huts and bamboo. The tables and chairs are also made of wood. Some I am guessing are made of narra. There are a couple of plastic chairs which are okay since they're lightweight and easy to carry/fix especially during these rainy season.
and my favorite part - the bar where my emotional beverage is located
I just love how it was set-up. Perfect for lowkey people like me. Not very fancy, but simply stunning.
How sweet - my birthday blending with my favorite beans!
Pick your blend and flavor
I love these mugs with American State prints
Kudos to these hardworking baristas too
Wooden chairs. I so love these.

I had to try their Iced Cafe Americano and Salted Caramel. My lil stinker had her Cookies And Cream or Oreo something drink (no caffeine).

the view is priceless
They offer various assortments of espresso mixes (beyond any reasonable amount to make reference to - hot and cold), snacks and different refreshments beside coffee.
I ordered cheese burgers for Php50 pesos each ($1usd) and chessy fries for my daughter. I think it costs about the same. Golly, I forgot. They really taste so good.
