Rigel's Café

I, my fiancé, and my sister had to stay somewhere cool as we wait for sunset to chase the golden hour for a shoot. Summer is truly in the air as the heat started to give us a really warm afternoon so we wanted to stay somewhere cooler. Luckily, there is a cafe inside our village just near the main gate.

Rigel's cafe is a laid back little cafe which serves very good coffee at an affordable price with free wi-fi. Going to cafes just to hang out for long hours, meetings, spend some time alone, or a quick stop over to get one of my favorite beverages in the world reminds me of those precious moments with friends, love ones, and me-time. It felt so good to have a place near our house where we can just sit and relax as if we were not in the noisy and polluted metropolitan. 

I love the greenery that welcomed us as we came into the resort like view entrance with open huts and tables where you can stay if you want some fresh air. Since it was a hot afternoon, we directly went inside their cabin like cafe where there was air conditioning. As we settled ourselves and finally decided to place our orders, the forever addicting aroma of coffee started to calm our souls.

Donut (P40) and Espresso con Panna (P35)

Caramel and Mocha frappes (P85 each)

Their donut tasted so good that I could tell it's Krispy Kreme's original glazed and if I am mistaken I would still say that it tasted like Krispy Kreme's. 

Iced Caramel Macchiato (P75)

I love this and their Caramel frappe for both were not too sweet unlike most of the caramel frappe variants I have had in other coffee shops.

Iced Caramel Macchiato (P75) and Tuna Sandwich (P35)

It felt like a little home for us. It's a humble and simply lovable place.They have some furniture and items displayed which are on sale. They also have chips and other snacks you can choose from.

We had the chance to meet the owner, Miss Olive Buyo, and her son to whom the cafe was named after (which is quite similar to mine - Regiele). Miss Olive, was very nice and accommodating as she answered my queries regarding their event/party packages. Yes, they do catering services. And if you find their drinks and snacks affordable, their packages are too.
