The Coffee Academy – It is brewing good!

Location:  G/F Marlim Mansion, Balibago Angeles City Philippines

I’m a coffee buff so I love hanging on different coffee shops to try their daily coffee specials, to my delight a promising coffee shop rise at the heart of Balibago, the shop is named The Coffee Academy – I don’t know how they got the name but it sounds good and it captures the heart of every coffee enthusiast like me.

I particularly enjoy visiting this place, its relaxing atmosphere invites everyone to just hang in there and loosen up, the place is not so big and very homey, it also has a free wifi access that’s available for everyone, so whether you’re a young professional who brings work with you even at off hours or a person who likes to chat online while sipping your favorite latte or frappe at the wee hours of the day, The Coffee Academy has a place for you.

The Coffee Academy serves great gourmet coffee, different cocktail drinks and sumptuous pasta and other family dishes. I have tried their best seller Café Mocha – a hot espresso based twisted with the goodness of chocolate and the house favorite Black Forest – an ice blended frappe in espresso base.

What’s good with The Coffee Academy is that they support the local coffee industry by using the locally grown “Kapeng Barako” as their main coffee ingredients. They also use a concoction of local beans from the province of Cavite, Batangas and Sagada Mountain.

The shop is open 24 hours a day, the second floor has 5 pool tables that can be rented if you want to have fun and play a little after the long day of work.

I love their cappuccino too– house blended into perfection, the taste is so heavenly but the price is reasonable compared to other big and famous coffee shops; with their welcoming interior and unlimited free wifi access I could spend a lot of time in this haven.

The Coffee Academy’s motto “enjoy the coffee never mind the cup” gives an impression that it’s a real “coffee business” – no eye catching advertisement, no social symbol cups – just the goodness of coffee in every sip.

The Coffee Academy is owned by Ms. Flor I. Arrozal, their location is strategically situated along the busy street of Balibago at the ground floor of Marlim Mansion with five charming and friendly staff ready to assist your every whim and caprice.
