A La E Cafe Amadeo

Putting up one’s own coffee shop seems to be a dream of many. In the Philippines, where the consumption of coffee has grown with the proliferation of coffee shops, the entrepreneurial spirit is very much alive. Aida Gonzales of ABS CBN is one of those who decided to become her own boss by creating “A La E Cafe Amadeo”, a coffee shop that serves only locally grown coffee varieties to help uplift the lives of the farmers in the country.

A La E Café Amadeo serves and retails the following coffee varieties: Café Amadeo from Cavite, Siete Baracos (“seven bulls”) from Batangas, Coffee Alamid (Philippine civet coffee), Cordillera coffee, and Monk’s Blend from Bukidnon.

The coffee shop’s slogan is very inspiring. “Sa bawat higop, may nakukupkup (Nurture in every sip)” It’s a simple way to remind customers that by patronizing the coffee shop, they are contributing to the upliftment of Philippine coffee farmers.

A La E Cafe Amadeo has outlets at Sgt. Esguerra St. Barangay South Triangle; Quezon City Circle; Manila Domestic Airport; Land Transportation Office along EDSA, Quezon City; and the Hobbies of Asia Building on Diosdado Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City.

We need more trailblazers like Aida Gonzales, entrepreneurs that promote the best of the Philippines.
