Did you see the picture I attached? It is the soon to be opened coffee shop at the second floor, outside, at the side of our office.
It was formerly a prohibited place to mall goers. Now, we have converted it to become the Café Alfresco.
It is a place where you can see the sea and Mayon volcano while you are sipping coffee or having a drink or two with your friends. On the backside is also the so called Sleeping Lion mountain.
Such a refreshing place especially when it’s windy.
It will be serving cakes and cookies. I just don’t know yet if there will be pastas.
And of course, different types of coffee. Everything, is just being finalized yet , since it will also have a bar.
Will you like having coffee in an alfresco place like this? Most likely, what will you order if ever you will come to this coffee shop?
It would be nice to share with me your thoughts of this soon to be café.

I don't see the picture, and I'd really like to after your description of the coffee shop. Perhaps resize it and upload it again?

@sunrisefan Yes. 
And you know what also makes me not sleepy? Watching the teleserye "Halik" at ABS on its time slot 9:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m.
Take a peek tonight so you will know why, I am so hooked on it.

@SIMPLYD I've been there several times already. Every Christmas time we usually travel to Legaspi City and if we have time we stop by there to enjoy the view before we head back home to Cam Sur(our province). Now I see the picture I have never been to this place yet looks very cosy.

Thank you. 
The signage of Cafe Alfresco's letters will be lighted in the evening.
The past days and until now, it is windy. So, it is so nice when I am just there in one of those gray cushioned seats during breaks, texting or making a phone call.

Why was this area prohibited before? Did anybody jump right out from the spot?

No. Because it has an open deck by the side, the top of the Maintenance Dept. building where a very big generator is being stored.
But next year, that one will be turned into an infinity pool of the Embarcadero hotel at the thrid floor.@sunrisefan (28524)

@SIMPLYD So, when the generators run, those in the cafe will be having dizzy heads :)

@ilocosboy Why not? Sometimes when I am about to go home and my husband is at home which is a 20 -30 minute ride from the city, I eat alone.

I would have if it was on the ground floor We had a place here next to the shopping area and we always visited that place for years They have now shifted it to somewhere else. One has to use a lift to go up. I went there once and never felt at home.

@hereandthere Ha? Why? Have you seen a rheumatologist?
I consulted a rheumatologist for the ache in my knees specially going down the stairs. I was right, my knees are now a bit worn. I am now drinking Glucosamate sulfate.
Oh, I think you have already read my post about it.

Oh, that's a nice idea. I must tell management to have that kind of coffee. I for one wants that.
Thank you for mentioning that even if it was meant as a joke.

@sol_cee Yes. That's because we have our own substation and big generators as standby in case it brownouts. You see, the electric cooperative always would suddenly have a brownout. They don't like that of course.
And I guess, the healthy surrounding and view is also a factor.
