Raging rain and cold wind during night time are a manifestation that ber months had begun. It is a perfect timing to brew and catch up with friends over a cup of coffee.

My friends introduced me to a new coffee shop in town, Purge Coffee Roaster. I tried one of their signature beverage, white peak coffee. Moreover, drinking this coffee made me realize that the best thing goes for those who wait. It was served differently. The ice was under the drink, and you needed to chit-chat with your friends while waiting for the ice to melt completely.

Place

Upon observing the place, there are also coffee bags which were sold for home consumption. Besides, I felt delighted when the barista told me that they get supply from local coffee farmers in the Philippines aside from the imported beans they attain. People who come to the shop that night were also being recommended by their friends. Hearing them saying ” uy di ka magsisi dito“. ( You won’t regret here) “libre ko sayo ang drink kung di masarap” ( I will pay your drink if it is not tasty for you).

People

Personally, other café owners should witness Purge’s customer service. The barista does not hesitate to ask for feedback, recommends what is best for their customers, and is very well-oriented on how they mix the drinks. The personality that radiates within the environment from the owner and staff was also imbibed by the customers.

I can say that really, Purge Coffee Roaster purges out the stress within you. The cafe was named Purge, which means purifying and cleansing. Also, purging is part of the process of making coffee. The business started by supplying beans until they made it a physical store with an easier medium of exchanging bags of coffee.

As the night was getting late, some of my friends came up. They also ordered the white peak and the other signature coffee, the black river coffee. The signature beverages are cold brew based but differ in the stages and brewing hours and origins of coffee. More importantly, the waiting game of white peak allows us to catch up with one another.

Purge beverages are completely different to other cafes. Why? It’s because they experiment until they innovate a drink which they know it can only be found in their very own cafe.
