The Coffee Academy Saturday Habit

Saturday evening is typically a catching-up time with friends. In Angeles City, one of our favorite spot would be The Coffee Academy where we enjoy the coffee and food while discussing about business, career, life and everything else.  The coffee shop and resto is simply conducive for such intimate and casual conversation. It has a nice interior with relaxing lights and music. It has free wifi too.

What's in the menu? 

The Coffee Academy offers coffee blends, non-coffee iced blends, pastries, pasta and some delectable dishes. Unlike other coffee shops, The Coffee Academy is using local coffee beans from Sagada, Cavite and Batangas. The syrup they are using is made from sugar cane with no artificial flavouring.

What I love to order at The Coffee Academy is their Cookies and Cream and their delightful sinful chocolate cake--it satisfies my sweet craving.

A bit of history

Upon Googling The Coffee Academy, I found out that the shop is owned by a former government office executive turned entrepreneur Flor I. Arrozal. The shop only started in 2007 but it has grown so fast that from just one coffee shop it has now 7 branches in Pampanga based on the Department of Tourism report.  In her mission to support the local coffee growers, The Coffee Academy is using Kape Barako.

The Place

The main branch is in Marlim Mansions Hotel in Balibago. Here's the addresses of The Coffee Academy branches:

• G/F Marlim Mansions Hotel, Mac Arthur Hwy., Balibago, Angeles City
• G/F Marlim Mansions Hotel, Marlim Ave. Bay 112 & 113,Mac Arthur Hwy.,

Around Php200 - 300 will suffice for an order of large coffee and your choice of food.

So, the next time you and your friends are looking for a nice relaxing place to hang out, visit The Coffee Academy.
