Whenever we move to another town to join my husband, the first thing we look for is a coffee shop. Being coffee lovers, my husband and I were delighted to discover Daily Beans.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Even after we left the town to move to my husband's next assignment, we kept coming back to Daily Beans when we have a chance. We would even take family, friends, and even my clients on the two-hour drive to Pililla just to have them try the refreshing drinks and delectable cakes served by the cafe. Note: You MUST try their Blueberry Cheesecake. It's super good--pinky swear!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It's been a while since my husband and I visited Daily Beans, so on the way to <a href="http://www.momonduty.com/mountain-lake-resort-laguna/" target="_blank">a blogger getaway in Laguna</a>, I invited my new-found blogger friend, <a href="http://www.thegirlwiththemujihat.com/" target="_blank">Erica</a>, to Daily Beans.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I was surprised at how much the place had changed. From a quaint coffee shop, it has expanded into a lounge and restaurant. Diners can now occupy the second level of the restaurant or opt to enjoy the cool, fresh air of Pililla in the al fresco area. As per the manager, they can now host events and gatherings--something that sparked an idea because my daughter is turning seven in a little over a year and we're looking for a unique venue to celebrate her day.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Since our arrival at Daily Beans was right on time for breakfast, Erica and I decided to order a plate each of their Boneless Bangus with Fried Rice and Egg paired with their signature iced tea. I haven't tried these before and I can't believe I've never ordered these!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Crunchy, just as I like it cooked, and oozing with salty-lemony flavors, their Boneless Bangus is a winner in my list. Served with fried rice topped with a sunnyside up egg, the meal can satisfy any hungry traveler. Wash down your meal with a glass of their signature iced tea and you're all set for the day!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I wish I had more room in my stomach for a slice of their Blueberry Cheesecake (I'm going to say it again--this is a must try!), but the breakfast meal was so filling I couldn't make it 'til dessert. <i>Perhaps next time.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i><br /></i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If you happen to be driving along Manila East Road (this is the main highway that traverses Antipolo, Teresa, Morong, Tanay, and Pililla), have a bite or a cup of joe in Daily Beans Coffee Lounge &amp; Restaurant--you won't regret making that stop!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> P.S. If you're a nomad worker, you'll be delighted to know that Daily Beans Coffee Lounge &amp; Restaurant has wi-fi. Yay! This coffee shop was a life saver when Erica and I stopped by since we also had a chance to check our work emails before going on our internet-free blogger getaway.</div> <br /> <center> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="300" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3862.842166626064!2d121.29933741461602!3d14.493748483572475!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x3397ea319e3fe1ef%3A0x3888c954dfa8ab26!2sDaily+Beans+Coffee+Lounge+%26+Restaurant!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sph!4v1481363918556" style="border: 0;" width="400"></iframe></center> Kimberley Reyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02725224667460209166noreply@blogger.com0Pililla, Rizal, Philippines14.4439278 121.3427262000000214.1979033 121.02000270000002 14.689952300000002 121.66544970000001
