We arrived around 10 AM. We were the first customers and yet they never failed to welcome us even if they lack staffs yet and are still preparing the place.

Adding to the charm of Crescencia Food and Coffee is that every nook is enjoyable. There is a corner for board games where you can play the traditional Filipino game, sungka. Another corner showcases various art pieces highlighting the talents of Boholanos, some of which are for sale. My favorite corner is the mini library, where you can choose from books of...
