In Davao City , coffee shops are mushrooming everywhere; you see them almost at every block. You be awed by the amazing architectural designs, cozy ambience, warm service, good food, great coffee and everything nice. It’s in these coffee shops you see people from all walks of life, eat and have fun. Well, not to mention some loose lips who say coffee shops can be a nice place to intimately talk with someone special, meet up with a blind date or just meet someone interesting.

If you think about great coffee, nothing beats Basti’s Brew, not because I am biased to say so, as my company president is one of the owners, but because Basti’s is synonymous to good coffee and I mean good.

Their fruit shakes leave you in seventh heaven, for just 95 pesos your thirst will definitely be quenched. My favorite biggie meal Carroza and Chunky Chicken is my comfort food; I am floored by the taste besides the serving is big enough for two. Add up on the “bottomless” iced tea at 50 and your day will never be better.

If you’re on the budget, you can check out their raisin oatmeal bar, brownies, a 15 peso cookie. If you dig something Italian, you can try Tuna pesto (highly recommended) and spaghetti Meatball overload all of this is satisfying and quite filling. Assorted flavors of longganisa, sisig and sardines square pizza can ease up a growling stomach.

If you want good coffee, choose from Basti’s wide array of coffee menu. I am not a coffee drinker actually; I have this bad habit that if I drink coffee in late afternoons I am not going to get a good night sleep. But Basti’s coffee is totally irresistible, for mild coffee drinkers like me, I can honestly say it’s addictive I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ll make it to the list of legitimate coffee drinker anytime soon.

I don’t want to exaggerate things because you might think I’m getting all too excited that you check out the place but yes please do…hehehehe, do I sound like I’m begging…hehehehe. You can do business at Basti’s it’s free wi-fi by the way which is a freebie you get not to mention friendly and fast service.

Basti’s is located, at JP. Laurel Street, at the Victoria Plaza compound and at Legaspi Street where our station is located, you can even see the DJ frolicking at the booth, request your song when you do a mid-pause and feel the moment when you sip that coffee and let the steam get into your nose, and the rush on your throat makes you say, Basti’s is good.
