If
you’re anything like me and my friends, then nothing beats a fun, chill
Friday night to end the stressful work week that has gone by.
I
recently spent an enjoyable T-G-I-F-night with my friends after work at
Scriptures Café, a newly opened hangout place in Springville, Molino. We played
the weirdest form of the Scrabble game ever, stuffed our bellies with tasty
food, laughed a lot, sipped sugary-creamy frosted drinks, and took advantage of
the place’s warm, cozy interior for some Instagrammable
photos. Reflecting on the fresh memory, I doubt we’d have the same
experience had we done it in a different café. Scriptures Café helped us all
unwind, and I’d just like to go into detail a bit of how this new place truly
satiated our desires to achieve fun.
Supple
menu with appetizing food and coffee choices
With
their supple menu, I think that customers wouldn’t have a problem coming into
the place, no matter their divergent taste buds and food preferences. I say
‘supple’, because you’ll find multiple flavors on their menu that your appetite
could decide on. Want something American? They’ve got meaty burgers for you.
Maybe you prefer it Italian? You can savor their bountiful pasta platters.
Looking to eat native? Their rice meals are there to save you. Or, maybe you
and your friends just feel like grabbing something light but delish? They’ve
got fries, nachos, chicken wings – you can even enjoy some classic Pinoy favorites
like siomai and siopao.
All of
these at a N I C E price. ^__^
And you
certainly don’t need to be a coffee addict to be able to pick one drink from
their list and enjoy it. Whether you’re going for something as basic as the
salted caramel frappe, or something as distinctively fresh as the matcha drink (Matcha anyone? They’ve got
it, too!), Scriptures Café just lets you choose with ease and you'll appreciate it.
Fun
games for everyone’s amusement!
Definitely
not everyone is made for the whole waiting game, and various restaurants and
hangouts have developed their own different methods on how their customers can
kill the time while waiting… but Scriptures Café just had that ready for us,
too.
My group
decided to have fun with the café’s Scrabble board game, and we put a little
twist to it by putting Tagalog words
instead. Not to mention, we included the very unique “dialect” famously called Jejemon, which people either found funny
or disliked.
But I
don’t think we’ve ever faced the most intense moment of our lives until my
friends and I decided to face off against the café’s own hand-biting crocodile!
We had to push one of its teeth until someone hit the “trap” that would cause
the crocodile to close down its mouth and bite you. The crocodile rounded us
and everyone took turns. We shared the biggest laughs combined with the loudest
shrieks. I can never explain the feeling of having to finally be the one to go
through a mental struggle on which tooth to push down. It was I think one of
the toughest choices you’d ever have to make in your life. Like a matter of
life-and-death situation, almost.
So in
case board games didn’t work for you, just go ask the owners and look for Mr.
Crocodile Dentist. And you’ll never have a dull moment, I promise.
The warm
and pleasant vibe, cozy interior, and the friendly crew
Obviously,
Scriptures Café is among the couple of hangouts and stores with a Biblical
theme that welcomes you into the scriptural confines of their humble place.
Personally,
the moment I walked into the place the first thing I felt was inspiration. It
was warm inside, walls decorated with nothing more than encouraging words that
center on God. I’ve seen many café places, and by nature, they all possess that inspiring and artistic feel to their atmosphere. I think what’s different
about Scriptures Café is that it’s already both inspirational and artsy, but it
also tells you that it’s God who gives us every single new day to live,
reminding us to be thankful, grateful, and to feel blessed.
Definitely
no question about the crew’s cordiality towards their customers – they’re all
nice and very accommodating. Such a sweet joy to have them give us free peppermint frappe drinks before we
went home!
It
gladdens me to think that a place like this is just a few minutes away from
where I live. Living in the South, many lifestyle places are up and running to
provide satisfaction to all Southerners – BF Homes in Paranaque, Evia Lifestyle
Center, etc.
But it’s
also cool to spend portions of your life on a low-key point. And knowing that
just minutes from where I live, along the M.V. Villar Avenue in Springville,
Molino here in Cavite, a place like Scriptures Café exists; it will help me do
just that. I’m already thinking of bringing either a different group of peeps
or the same folks upon my next visit.
‘Cause
one thing is for sure: I’m definitely coming back!
