Palaweños are all too familiar with coffee shops. Our beloved city has been the home of a variety of coffee shops, each with its own appeal, each with its own feel. With all the cafés to choose from, Palaweños may become overwhelmed with the wide array of the places our daily dose of caffeine could be met. Sitting on the long line of cafés in the city is one that lets the coffee itself do all the talking.
