Cafe Egao
Cafe Egao is a humble coffee shop located at Buot compound, Nasipit, Talamban,
A big smile and a sprinkling hello are what would greet you as soon as you step inside the cafe. The staff are like smurfs who never seem to get tired of smiling and radiating a friendly glow. The hospitality is such a big factor in our over-all experience.
Now, they don't just make good coffee, they also have snacks that have very generous proportions. I'm an extra-2-rice-kind of guy but one serving of their baked penne was enough for me to paint a satisfied grin all over my face. Their pasta's too die for. It's creamy and saucy-er, which is what I like my pasta would be.
Cafe Egao does not have a big space, accomodating only about 5 tables. But the space is warm enough for chit-chat with close friends, an friendly-get-to-know-you kind of date, and light business meetings. The kitchen's just right beside the counter.
Although the coffee shop is Japanese-inspired, the snacks they offer are a mix of Italian and Japanese food. The prices are not even top heavy on the pocket - less than 100 pesos! Now that's a good deal, if you ask me.
It's not just a place where you can satisfy your cravings but a place to rest your mind, read and free yourself from the binds of reality.
