A Quick Coffee Date to End the Work Week ☕💻

What’s your go-to beverage when stressed?

I couldn’t think of anything but good coffee. And now that it’s Friday (probably everyone’s favourite day of the week), it’s time to say goodbye to the work week and hello to the weekends! But first a quick date night…

We went to the local food market for dinner. It was jammed with people. They probably had the same idea of a Friday night. And well, things didn’t turn out so well.

The lines were long and people were fighting off over some tables. There was even this lady who threw a nasty glance at me because I beat her to a table. I couldn’t help but laugh at how petty the entire thing is.

But hey, I was hungry and tired from work. We all were. So I shifted my mood and focused on our delicious meal instead (I was so hungry I didn’t have time to take a photo LOL).

The more time passed by, the more it got crowded. And I started to feel overwhelmed. I wanted to go out to relax from all the fuss at work. I didn’t want to feel any more irritated and tired than I already am.

So I asked my husband if we can go out somewhere quiet with some good coffee. We went out to the hills of Busay, Cebu and we found this dainty little shop called Sampaloque.

See how it's literally just beside the road

You wouldn't miss this! It's not far from the city and you can easily see their signage on the left part of the road. It's usually packed with diners but we were thankful that night that there weren't too many people (probably because it was already late).

At first, I thought it was a fancy restaurant because people who go there got these nice trucks and fancy cars. But when we asked around, they had a separate cafe shop and area for those who want to order coffee and other drinks.

And it wasn't fancy at all! They had this rustic theme that made it so earthy and comfortable to dine and hang around.
