More than Just Coffee ~ Art Capital Cafe

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

    1. It 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.

    1. Yes, 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.
