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@naniplayergamer to the said place.

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.

Ilokano - it's our local dialect here in Northern Luzon particularly in Ilocos Region where I belong (La Union)

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!

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.

If you love sipping, smelling the aroma, or in any event, contemplating some good coffee, this is a perfect spot. Beside great coffee, chilling at Cafe By The River is certainly a great encounter. You're treated with delightful nature riverside views and a generally a great ambiance. It's truly an awesome experience for every senses. It is likewise a pet-friendly cafe.
