When we went to Davao, one of the cafes we visited was the Purge Coffee Roaster. It is about 7 kilometers away from Abreeza place, in where we stayed. It is just a small cafe yet elegant. I love the earthy tones and the lightning complemented the industrial-like furniture which makes the ambiance- cozy and gracious. There were few customers when we got there, and i’ve got to enjoy the luxury of my imagination- it functions much better when stimulated by the smell of coffee and silence.. I ordered a black tea with a really great smell and they’d put a dry lemon into it. It is really good but the aroma of their coffee outweighs everything, it smells sooo good. Literally one of the best! It makes me want to try their coffee but my stomach wasn’t that strong and persistent that time, I enjoyed my cup of tea nonetheless.
Although it was just a short cafe visit, because we were afraid we would get stuck by traffic on the way back. I am thankful I got to experience such a subtle cafe and I will definitely pay a visit again someday… and by that time I will try their coffee.
