Cafe Antonio Coffee and Resto

If you have been a loyal patron of Cafe Antonio Dumaguete then you will definitely like the transformation it has gone through. Cafe Antonio for the past few years definitely was the shop that served only the best coffee in Dumaguete. However, it has recently morphed into becoming a full-fledged Coffee house and Resto! Our commitment is to still serve you the best coffee and food in Dumaguete. Hence we came up with a new brand: Cafe Antonio Coffee and Resto.

In line with this commitment, we brought in a chef that is not just somebody who knows how to whip up a good meal, but someone who is the best in what he does. Chef Eugene is a member of the Philippine Cooking Team and the team captain in the 2005 MLA (Meat & Livestock Australia) Black Box Culinary Challenge. Since its launch in 1996, the MLA has been participated by more than 2,000 chefs all over the world and has been dubbed as the olympics of the culinary world. Chef Eugene together with Chef Ariel Manuel of Lolo Dad's bested almost everybody in the competition.

Cafe Antonio's FoM for February: White Strawberry Frothiccino

White Strawberry Frothiccino

Cafe Antonio's FoM for January: Choco-Banana Frothiccino

Cafe Antonio's FoM for December: S'mores Frothiccino

What is a "S'more"?

S'mores is a recipe where milk chocolate and toasted marshmallows are sandwiched between graham crackers. It supposedly obtained it's name because everyone who tasted one would always ask for "Some more", hence the shortened word: "S'more".

The Cafe Antonio baristas have converted this into an ice blended frothiccino made just for you. Imagine the luscious blend of chocolate, the crunch of graham crackers and fluffy marshmallows and tell us if you wouldn't be asking for some more!

December is definitely a month to celebrate and indulge. Celebrate the Holidays with Cafe Antonio's FoM just for December: the S'mores Frothiccino.

WB students... to Cafe Antonio!

Cafe Antonio has recently gone back to how we are used to seeing it for most of the year: with students! Woohoo!

Semestral break is over and study time is here again. But then again, we know that for many of them, Cafe Antonio is already considered their second (or third or fourth..) home and of course, there is absolutely no other place like HOME!

Welcome back home, students!

Coffee Education? Not an EASY Job...

The Buglasan Festival, which happens every October in Dumaguete City is dubbed as the “Festival of Festivals”. The different cities and towns of Negros Oriental come together and participate by setting up their own showcases of their tourist attractions and some pasalubong items. Aside from the material things, there is also an almost 2-week long schedule of activities that are set up to suit practically everyone’s fancy.

Of course, the organizers give the different business entities a chance to set up shop at the site. Café Antonio opted to participate this year because we thought that it was a good opportunity to “strut our stuff” and show Negros Oriental how great our coffee is. After a couple of days of operation, we were already kind of feeling that coffee education is still indeed a challenge in Negros Oriental.

We realized that with this "type" of crowd, coffee would never be the beverage of choice for the homo sapiens. This crowd was indeed very much different from what we experienced last August at Silliman University during their Annual Founders Celebration, wherein ALL alcoholic beverages were supposedly banned.

So, Let's pack up and transfer our booth to St. Paul University! Let's celebrate with them on their Founders day and have a great cup of coffee (Hot/Iced/Blended)! See you there!
