Have you been to the Art Capital of the Philippines?
Angono Rizal is the famed art capital of the country, home to two of our National Artists ~ Maestro Lucio San Pedro for music and Carlos "Botong" Francisco for arts.
Other known artists from Angono includes Nemiranda, Perdigon, Blanco and Tiamson.
Numerous public and private art galleries about in Angono, was not surprised to see a coffee shop in Angono joining the coffee shop cum art gallery bandwagon.
Come ~ Art Capital Café (ACC), a home grown local business establishment where you can have your coffee amidst beautiful paintings and art pieces.
It was nearing Nov 1, hence the web strings decorated store facade.
The place is homey and interesting. Paintings from new and aspiring artists adorn ACC's walls.
The coffee shop has an adjoining gallery, showcasing more art pieces and paintings, the gallery looks promising from the outside, unfortunately we were not able to enter since it was already late when we visited ACC.
I had brewed coffee and shared dessert with my husband.
Coffee so aromatic, you know it's good.
For dessert we had Mango Pavlova.
Dessert was very good too.
ACC also serves pasta, sandwiches and all-day breakfast. Will surely give their these a try when we return.
If you are heading to Angono or anywhere near the area, drop by and give ACC a visit.
ACC is located along
M.L. Quezon Avenue, Brgy. San Isidro
Angono Rizal
Store hours:
Monday - 4pm to10pm
Tuesdays to Thursdays - 12nn to 10pm
Fridays to Sunday - 12nn to 12am
For inquiries check out ACC in facebook
Yeah, art and food is a good combo, actually. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is good combination indeed. We were like having coffee in an art gallery.
DeleteI am sure we will visit when we transfer to Antipolo first Q of 2016!
ReplyDeleteHi Renz, ACC is actually located in Angono about 15-20 drive from Antipoli without traffic though.
DeleteOh! Great Concept! Coffee and Art in 1.
ReplyDeleteIt was a real good concept. And very helpful to Angono's starting artists looking for ways to showcase their art. The paintings are for sale and very reasonable prices.
DeleteI would love to visit there and try their coffee! The paintings are amazing too xx

A lovely place for any artist, no matter what level, to get some inspiration while not getting hungry. Nice! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that Rizal is the art capital of the Philippines, been to the art highlight destinations of Rizal with my kids' previous field trips.
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely place to visit and have coffee with friends and family. I hope to go there one of these days with my boys.
ReplyDeleteWe've not been to Angono, Rizal yet. It must be pretty exciting to enjoy good food amidst lovely art pieces.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are so many placea to see and so in Rizal. Unfortunately the main road is under conatruction, making commute difficult and painstaking. I hope they finish road repairs soon.
