It's Me, Gracee: Book and Borders Cafe

Book & Borders Cafe Now Open at Eastwood City!

Book & Borders Cafe Branches Thursday, December 01, 2016

There are many things that go hand-in-hand in this world, the perfect match, like pizza and ice cold soda, puto and dinuguan (You know this if you're a Filipino), bread and butter, but one of my personal favorite pairings is the warm and cozy books-and-cafes twosome. A match made in heaven, the cozy surroundings of a bustling cafe is a perfect supplement to the comforting pages of a good book. There's something about warm coffee or hot chocolate and the smell of the pages of the book that relaxes me which is why I really love the concept of Book & Borders Cafe, now open at Eastwood Branch.

Having already opened branches in Tuscany, McKinley Hill, Taguig; and Tomas Morato, Quezon City, Book & Borders Cafe is proud to unveil its third cafe in Eastwood City, giving residents, office workers, students and shoppers a new venue to dine and unwind after a tiring day.

Formally opening its doors last Saturday, November 26, 2016, Book & Borders promises great food, awesome drinks, and hours of fun reading.

One you enter Book and Borders Cafe, you will be greeted not just by their friendly crew but also with the inviting aroma of coffee. Like the other two branches, they offer a modern style ambiance to their cafe. Comfy chairs and wooden tables and well lit area for book lovers.

It’s a soft and elegant cafe, great for both work and reading. The tables are rather proportioned so they’re just the right size for a coffee and a book or more.

Never forget that in order to keep reading, you need to keep eating! If you’re a reader who often skips meals because it’s hard to put down a book, then head over to Book & Borders Cafe for that good food and amazing books you're looking for.

Book & Borders Cafe continuously update their menu with delicious meals fit for a king and while you're enjoying your favorite hot brewed coffee, you might as well try their Salted Hot Chocolate, Iced Coffee Fudge, and Hazelnut Frappe and foods like the Barbeque Liempo with Rice, Fried Tuyo with Kesong Puti Pasta and Seafood Aligue Pasta.

In our busy lives, it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to appreciate the simplicity of a good book and that one cafe that feels like a safe haven. I recommend Book & Borders Cafe for the #MeTime that you are longing for. Indulge yourself.

Read, Sip and Dine at Book and Borders Cafe

Book and Borders Cafe Monday, August 24, 2015

Being a Blogger gives me the perks of being invited to restaurant grand openings of private functions wherein we can review the food and its goodness. But long before I was a Blogger, I write on my diary about some of the best experiences that I had especially when I am trying out something new and one of my favorite hobby is to try different dishes, delicacies, pastries and more. Thus this mean that I am a certified FOODIE?maybe I am but I want to call myself FOODIELICIOUS! Since I always make it a point that every food stop I make will end up really good and a delicious adventure.

And since I'm really into coffee and pastries, let me share with you another great find

at the heart of Quezon City.

If you love reading books while enjoying a cup of coffee like me, this place will surely melt your heart. It's one of my favorite past times especially when I needed a break from all the hustle and bustle of city life. Book and Borders Cafe will surely be one of the famous

hangouts in the metro.

Love reading books while sipping your favorite coffee? then Book and Borders Cafe is surely the perfect place for you. Aside from the books that they offer, they also have WIFI which is a necessity for most of us, electric socket for those running out of battery of needs to plugtheir Laptops and that cozy and warm ambiance that they offer that nowadays are hard to find if we're talking about "Coffee Shops".

But the food is another thing and believe me, once you started checking out my pictures, you'll be heading to this place in no time!

Fried Tuyo with Kesong Puti Pasta

Truffle Mushroom (Fettuccini Pasta)

Quatro Cheese

Chicken Penne Pesto

Iced Mocha

Beef Pastrami

Hot Chocolate

Smoked Turkey Ham Sandwich

Believe me, the pictures says it all and their food is really to die for. My ultimate favorite is the Fried Tuyo with Kesong Puti. At first I was hesitant to try it since I'm not very fond of Tuyo but after tasting it, it truly complemented the flavor of the pasta together with the kesong puti. It's a whole new level of pasta for me. Their food is really good and surprisingly it's very affordable as well.

This is also perfect for those students who have limited budget but wants to enjoy good food, relaxing ambiance where they can study and reliable wifi.

Happy Food hunting!

Book and Borders Cafe: A Cozy Nook for Book & Coffee Lovers

Benjamin Alves Saturday, August 01, 2015

Newly opened Book and Borders Cafe is simply a haven at the heart of Quezon City.

Once you step into their Cafe, the ambiance is truly cozy offering a not so dim lights so that you can still enjoy flipping the pages of your favorite book evenly distributed across the shelves. The wide array of books from fiction to non-fiction, cook books to kiddie books, Young Adult themes to general knowledge, everything's here. The charming colors of the seats plus the inviting books will surely make you stay for long period of time while enjoying their delicious food.

Located at 281 Tomas Morato, Quezon City, Book and Borders, unlike other crowded cafes where people are more engaged in chit chat, has purposely turned their space into something that is more relaxed and quiet.This is because the café encourages customers to go through their extensive selection of books, and take their time to hangout or read.

In fact, the café also makes book stands available for its customers, to make reading their chosen book, much easier. Check out the picture above on how you can freely borrow a book at the cafe.

Present during the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of Book and Borders Cafe were Celebrity stars Karylle and Benjamin Alves together with Ms. Mary Simisim and Ms. Nancy Go who are also proprietors of Chef Noodles Philippines.

Also present at the Grand Opening of Book and Borders Cafe were Beauty Queens Venus Raj and Ariela Arrida with Wyn Wyn Marquez who admitted that they're all book worm!

The café’s brand ambassadors, Karylle and Benjamin Alves are both book lovers, and represents what the café wants to promote very well; which is to encourage the habit of reading as well as indulging in one’s love for coffee.

The two self-confessed book lovers were present at the café’s grand opening last July 28, wherein guests were treated to the café’s bestsellers and were given the chance to enjoy the selection of books that are available.

Carrying the tagline, Read. Sip. Dine. Book & 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.

Complementing the nice ambiance and the library aspect of the café are delicious light fare and refreshing drinks.

Check out the delicious food that we tried at the grand opening:

Fried tuyo with Kesong Puti Pasta

Truffle Mushroom (Fettuccini Pasta)

Quatro Cheese

Chicken Penne Pesto

Iced Mocha

Beef Pastrami

Hot Chocolate

Smoked Turkey Ham Sandwich

All the food that we tried were superb for me and very tasty as well not bland. But the highlight of my day was the Fried Tuyo with Kesong Puti pasta, it was really delicious I recommend for you to try it. I've also checked the prices and surprisingly it's very affordable. Not only yuppies can enjoy the good food but also students who loves to read and hang out at a cozy place with their friends while enjoying good food, great WIFI connection and they also have electrical socket for you to charge your gadgets or laptops.

Aside from delicious muffins, breads, cupcakes, pies, tarts, squares, doughnuts, and cakes (Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake), Book and Borders also serves more filling menu options like rice meals and variations of pasta and sandwich. For drinks, there’s coffee of course, in a variety of options, as well as refreshing smoothies for hot days.
