SERENITY has always been a personal need. From books to music to sleeping, we all have our knack for what peace and quiet is. It may not be as peaceful as the word, but of whatever mode, we wish to be in touch and be in sync with our inner self. A quest that, most often, leads us to discover something new about the self.
With the prevalence of quaint coffee shops and cafes in the metro, one can surely find a serene place that goes beyond being just a gustatory destination. Nowadays, coffee shops exhibit a lifestyle – a place where one’s self is able to relax and recharge. True, not all shops are the same – hence, with the choices, find one that not only satisfies the palate… but more so, the yearning for serenity.
Consider the hustling and booming streets of Tulip Drive over at the south side of the city — what was once a serene residential strip is now one of the busiest. With more than a handful of foodie destinations available, getting lost with an appetite to curb is but normal.
Purge Coffee Roaster is not new. It has been serving cup after cup of lustfully aromatic variants of coffee that you won’t find elsewhere. The whiff alone of freshly brewed coffee will have you wanting to take a seat and waiting patiently.
Inside, you’d be greeted to a pacified and relaxing ambiance that’s very welcoming and of course, homey. The simplicity is what makes Purge perfect. And that’s just the ambiance. Not to mention, at Purge, they don’t have wificonnection – coffee and online detox under one roof? Just what we all need.
Menu wise, theirs is surprisingly addictive. It’s not as extensive as you’d expect but the minimal items will truly leave a lasting palate impression. As they say — one look and you’ll be hooked.
Their menu is mysteriously straightforward. What they have are caffeine fixes and bites that when eaten together, create another dimension of flavour. Who said pasta and coffee do not go together has truly not explored their dynamism. The savoury pasta preps and coats the palate of a plethora of perceptive taste while the coffee seals the deal.
And the same goes when you opt to pair a cup of freshly brewed coffee with a piece of sweetened carb – a piece (or two!) of Purge’s red velvet waffle topped with vanilla ice cream is but the perfect sin. This, right here, is just too much for the senses to fathom – the texture, the taste and the balance of sweetness lingers even after you pay the bill.
As a coffee shop, Purge’s selection includes a variety of hot and cold fixes, with or without caffeine, perfected to satisfy anyone’s craving. They also have bagged roasted coffee beans for sale if you want to elevate your caffeine fix on a daily basis.
Purge Coffee Roaster is located at Tulip drive, Matina, Davao City.
