Drink and learn about your brew at this Pampanga cafe

ANGELES CITY, PAMPANGA—A visit to this local bistro gives caffeine enthusiasts more than the usual cup’s worth of coffee.
The Coffee Academy, or more commonly referred to by the Pampangueños as coFIAcad, was founded by Flordelita Arrozal four years ago to highlight the exotic taste of locally grown coffee beans.
This includes the Liberica, or popularly known as kapeng barako, which only grows in very few countries like America, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
The coFIAcad also harvests Arabica, or the aromatic Kapeng Tagalog; Robusta; and the Excelsa from the mountains of Sagada and Benguet down to Cavite and Batangas.
Guests are offered the specialty caffeine-infused drinks prepared by the staff who are trained by the owner herself.
What draws most costumers here—apart from its clean and cozy ambiance—is the “academic” part of the whole coffee drinking experience.
“All of our staff are trained on how a particular drink is prepared, from the roasting of the coffee beans to the blending itself. This is so we can respond to any guest who wants to know how the drink was prepared and where the beans came from,” said Jasper Sangalang, supervisor at the Marlim Mansion branch in Angeles City.
From its first shop in Sta. Rosario, the Coffee Academy now has seven branches across Pampanga and the brand has evolved to become a coffee bar-restaurant.
Aside from brewed coffees and lattes, best-sellers include the Black Forest, inspired from the flavored cake added with a coffee twist, and the Cookies and Cream milk shake.
Their main dishes are quite affordable and mostly good for sharing. Recommended dishes include Pampanga’s famous sisig and spicy pancit canton.
Local foodies like “gluttonguide” from Openrice.com also recommend the California Cheeseburgerand the Ham and Cheese Sandwich.
The blog “Real Men Wear Aprons” suggests the White Choco Frappe and Potato Croquette nibblers for first-timers.
Caffeine lover or not, there is a delight in knowing that enjoying a cup of coffee here can help contribute to the country’s coffee industry.
