I spent a Saturday morning visiting hidden cafes in Makati with a friend not too long ago. We went to Ani Cafe and Convenience Coffee Shop. Both are perfect for those looking for a chill weekend whether to have a conversation with a friend or for alone time with a book.
Ani Cafe
Our day started at Ani Cafe. It’s a small cafe, which can be found in the garden of Comuna, a growing creative community. We had an early day so we had our light breakfast there.
This tomato bruschetta was so good and felt like a healthy breakfast too. I only wish there was more of it. We split this breakfast, so it left me wanting more.
And for coffee, we both ordered Spanish Latte. I had the hot version because I like my coffee hot especially in the morning. This was good coffee.
It’s nice to visit Ani Cafe in the morning. It’s quiet and there’s no crowd yet. And because it was a nice sunny day that weekend, we chose to sit outside surrounded by trees. My dress fit perfectly with the surroundings.
Convenience Coffee Shop
After lunch and a bit of stroll around the mall, we continued our visit of hidden cafes in Makati. This time, we went to Convenience Coffee Shop located in Atrium Building on Makati Avenue. I’ve been to this cafe before when it was still located in Bangkal, Makati.
In this cafe, you can view photo exhibits and walking activities that will let you discover and learn more about Makati. I’ve been meaning to join one of those weekend walking tours. I just haven’t had a chance yet. I love walking tours. When Carlos Celdran was still alive, I was an active participant of his Walk This Way Tours. You can read about my experience joining his Intramuros Walking Tour, Livin’ La Vida Imelda Walking Tour and Walk This Way Movie Tour.
What I Wore to My Vist of Cafes in Makati
For our cafe hopping in Makati, I chose to wear my green maxi dress from The Editor’s Market. I paired it with my Chloe mandals and brought along my Shop Style Cat bag.
I bought this dress originally to wear on my trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. I bought it online and it didn’t get delivered in time for my trip. So I chose to wear it for a chill day of visiting hidden cafes in Makati instead.
