Cafe in Paranaque: But First, Coffee

We just discovered that "But First, Coffee" is founded by a Paranaqueno! We found out from a feature on the OG YouTube channel that Anna Magalona started her business at home with just PhP6,000. We immediately checked if it was available via Grab and found a branch just near our home. 

Woke up early this morning so we could try out their coffee. We got the following -

Spanish Latte and Vietnamese Style (hot)

Vietnamese Style (iced)

These two are the bestsellers of the cafe. You can also purchase coffee in 1 liter bottles. It should be fairly easy to find a branch since they now have 29 branches. Most are in Luzon and one in Iloilo City. The branch in Paranaque City is located in Saudi Arabia St., Better Living Subdvision in Barangay Don Bosco.

Cafe in Paranaque: Presko Coffee

We discovered Presko Coffee through Grab. Found it because we were looking for coffee and breakfast. We tried it and have since been ordering whenever we crave for good breakfast. After voting today we planned to get breakfast via drive-thru. The lines were long so we thought we'd check out Presko Coffee and get take-away. 

We got lucky and Sweetie was able to park. The interiors of the cafe was so pretty we decided to dine in. We were also curious to see the menu and how they would serve the food. I ordered my usual waffles and bacon (I gave my scrambled egg to Sweetie) - 

Sweetie got a BLT (he loves sandwiches) -

And the son got waffles and hungarian sausage -

We also got coffee. I had a hot Spanish latte, Sweetie ordered Irish coffee and the son got iced Spanish latte. We love their coffee! 

We've been taking precautions that's why we haven't been dining out. We loved the cafe though so we'll likely go back to dine-in again. A great find in our `hood!

Paranaque Food Finds: Happy Jinju

We were just making a u-turn to go back home when we happily stumbled into "Happy Jinju". "Milk tea" was the first thing I read on their signage. I immediately said yes when Sweetie asked if I wanted to try it out. 

Whenever I try out a new cafe I always ask what's their bestseller. For the drink they recommended the white rabbit cream cheese. I ordered it and was a bit anxious that it might be too sweet. It was a burst of flavors when I finally tried it. What I enjoyed was the taste of White Rabbit which is one of my favorite childhood candies. The sweetness was just right. 

They started frying some chicken while we were ordering. The smell was amazing! We ended up ordering 24 pieces so we could try four flavors. We got smoky BBQ, garlic mayonnaise, soy garlic and honey lemon garlic. We liked the smoky BBQ and garlic mayo the best. We ate the chicken wings as a snack and also had it with rice. It's great for both merienda and dinner! Woohoo!

We would have loved to hang out in the cafe. It was all pink! It's a perfect place to hang out in for merienda. For safety though we just waited for our order in the car. We realized though it'll be better to book your order ahead and then just pick it up. Or better yet just have it delivered to you. We plan to try the other beverages and chicken wing flavors next time!
