Why Book and Borders Cafe is the best choice for book lovers
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
–Oscar Wilde
Whenever I feel down, and the whole world seems gray and dull, I usually watch movies from my laptop or I browse free e-books from an app on my phone and just read all night.
Sitting around sulking they say will only cause prolonged sadness. Doing something like this really helps me start to feel better.
But there's nothing like the real one. Those old-fashioned, musty, printed books. I specifically love the peculiar smell of books that can make any book lover’s heart cozy and warm.
Real books aren't going anywhere yet, I tell you. For me, I tend to cling to a favorite story then reread it over and over a million times.
Most of us who usually read e-books prefer to read printed ones still.
Part of my growing up was the constant visit to the school library. I remember my dad bought us a collection of children's encyclopedia and he would go and get us a stack of random books, which my siblings and I would devour instantly. Unfortunately, there are no libraries nearby in my current town.
I'm really hoping that one day, they would build libraries just like at the movie MATILDA, where kids can visit anytime and help kids become smarter and keep small kids occupied.
As Dr. Seuss said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go".
Plunging into a good book opens up a whole world of knowledge starting from a very young age.
When I heard of a newly-opened cafe in Timog that encourages customers to read a lot while hanging out with friends and family, I did not let the chance to just pass by. Truly a marvelous idea putting up a sort of a mini library in the heart of the city. Although it's far from my place, which is in Antipolo, I accepted the invite wholeheartedly.
Books and Borders Cafe is the latest themed cafe to open in Quezon City, catering to customers who have an appreciation for good books and equally good food and coffee.
This place is set to become one of the metro's more popular go-tos.
Book and Borders Cafe is located at 281 Tomas Morato, corner Scout Castor near 7-eleven , you cannot miss it.
Unlike other crowded cafe where people are more engaged in a conversation, the ambiance here is more relaxed and hushed.
This cafe encourages customers to go through their extensive selection of books, and they also makes book stands available for its customers, to make reading their chosen book, much easier.
The furniture is rustic and all wood that will create a homey feel, which the customers can enjoy each stay.
Stunningly beautiful and perfectly placed, every item in the cafe will make a bold statement not soon to be forgotten by the guests. The miniature Eiffel Tower decor is truly an eye-catching and visually stunning effect that make you want to grab your luggage and visit the city of love.
They are open Daily from 7 am to 12 midnight. And on weekends, they are open from 7am to 2am in the morning. The media who went to the grand opening were able to try out some of their bestsellers.
I had the Fried Tuyo with kesong puti. I love everything with "tuyo" or dried salted herrings. When I had a fork full of this pasta, believe me, I nearly fell off my chair because it was so yummy. I licked my plate clean! I love anything salty. For those who aren't much into salty foods, this might be a little overwhelming for you.
Lou, my friend from the blogging world, let me tried her pesto pasta and it was superb as well. The garlic bread? Not so much. It was rather bland and and hard I was on the verge of taking it home with me and reviving it using the toaster.
Since my body can no longer handle too much caffeine from coffee, I only did a sip from this iced mocha. For drinks, there's a variety of options. There are caffeine-free ones. You can always opt for smoothies for hot days.
Aside from the delicious options I just mentioned above, Book and Borders also serves yummy muffins, breads, cupcakes, pies, tarts, squares, doughnuts, and cakes at affordable prices. They also serve sandwiches like Beef pastrami Panini, even salad and breakfast options.
"We all have a passion for eating, passion for coffee, passion for putting people together, this is what we did here. Every time you visit Book and Borders, you will have a grand experience because picking up a new book will give you that feeling."
The cafe can prepare special menus for events for you. They personalized the menu to suit any occasion, with prices to meet any budget.
Guests were able to take home treats and won prizes (including myself) from their mini games during the launching.
Carrying the tagline, Read, Sip, Dine---Book and Borders is definitely a must-try not just for book lovers and coffee lovers but anyone who is looking for a nice place to hang out in the busy metro.
So, there.
Book and Borders is a haven for book and coffee lovers like me. Of course, you can borrow the books for free while waiting for your sumptuous food to be delivered to you.
Their commitment to you is to consistently provide a dining experience that is both satisfying and nourishing.
If you need to escape into a literary cafe without going anywhere, just trek on over to Book and Borders Cafe in Tomas Morato. See you there!
