When you go to Legazpi City and ask the locals where to find good coffee, you wouldn’t hear the word “Starbucks.” Legazpeños have their own version of gourmet coffee and you will find quite an interesting menu of local flavors at Bikol Blends Café.

The patio tables and chairs outside Bikol Blends Café at Villa Amada invite you to stop for a while for good coffee and good company. The low couches, mixed sets of tables and chairs and the country décor complement the coffee aroma coming from the espresso machines. Unlike other coffee shops in the city, Bikol Blends Café offer not only great coffee blends with the Bicolano twist but also a quiet and cozy place to relax and reconnect with friends and loved ones.

They have Internet-ready computer units if you want to check your e-mail or leave a little tweet in your social networking sites.

Quiant. The coffee bar is small but well-stocked with all the trimmings of good gourmet coffee with the Bicolano flair.

They also have a good selection of coffee pastries plus items that you can only find here like the Pili Bread and the Sushi Laing.

Pili Shake.
Legazpeños love their prized nuts even in their beverage.

Sweet, creamy, and refreshingly delicious. (P105.00)

Sili Shake.
It’s spicy and it’s possible. The crushed ice and the sweet

cream on top tames the spicy kick. We recommend sharing with a friend. (P105.00)

If you want something healthy to sip, try their

Malunggay Shake. (P105.00)

Sweet with a slightly bitter note, the tinutong rice bits on top go

well with the cream. (P105.00)
