I'm circulating in town lately, taking a break from the rut. Concentrating on my homebased job may have its perks but oh, you do have to get outside and acquaint with the goings on around. Thus, paying visits to interesting spots in Davao City becomes my Saturday agenda. Well, a good part of that is spent in coffee shops, aside from playtime Saturday mornings at Holiday Spa Center.
I encountered BluGre last 2000 when my boyfriend-now-hubby showed me around Davao City after he got relocated from Cebu for another work assignment. I liked it then, but sure, I appreciate it even more now.
Back then, there was no WiFi but the ambiance was great, and some would say, chic. It was a good place to hang out actually and it still is. When you are tired of roaming the mall, you'd think of a place where you can just unwind. Inside this coffee house, you can see regulars working on their laptops and tablet computers. But people like the old timers who do not care for technology? They are totally busy on chatter. You see the old and the new as well. Aged and young consider this their hub. Isn't that great?
I think their huge single seats are just fantastic. It encloses you and it's like you're leaning on a cushioned wall. It provides privacy for two people since there's another one at the other end of the round center table. Face to face, secluded in a corner, talking of simple things that matter. Romantic, eh?
This picture is proof of one thing that I loved about the place-- coffee. To top that, Landco Building along Bajada Avenue houses the famous coffee shop in town. What about their rates? The price is good, and but not so cheap as you would call. I would order the choco torte, sweet and swimming in white sauce! Pair this with the cappuccino and the moment is just awesome. Pasta is also great here.
Come by BluGre and warm yourself with coffee....
