Café Del Sol Celebrates Two Strong Decades in Boracay
Café del Sol is the first modern, full-service coffee shop to open on the island back in 2003
Filipinos are big fans of coffee, so much so that we have a culture for it. We flock to our cafés down the street, in small alleyways and get Americanos for take out. We meet our friends in big-city cafés in posh areas for brunch. We stopover when we travel in the provinces, and appreciate the café’s native interiors, overlooking scenic views. We rush to cafés in tight kiosks with people buzzing in lines. One thing’s for sure, we definitely love our cafés by the beach, where the waves endlessly kiss the shores and the cool winds caress the skin. There’s nothing quite like sipping on an ice-cold latte with the bluest views of the crystal seas. Perhaps this is one of the factors that contribute to the celebrated longevity of Cafè del Sol Boracay, on top of the good service and great offerings they cater to their patrons and customers.
Cafe del Sol gets a makeover at D’Mall, Boracay Island
Proudly being the first modern, full-service coffee shop to open in Boracay Island, Philippines back in 2003, the popular island café is the brainchild of entrepreneur Juan Elizalde and Paolo Occhionero. It started out as a cozy beach-front coffee shop, where locals and tourists from all over the world get to enjoy mouth-watering paninis, thirst-quenching ice-blended frappes and fresh fruit juices, and of course, their delectable selection of cakes, pastries, and breads. Their classic Mango Cheesecake easily gained a cult-following, while their Italian espressos paired with their breakfast plates have been a big go-to for early birds who want to enjoy the island’s morning sun.
From breakfast to dessert, Cafe del Sol’s menu is sure to satisfy cravings
Now, on their 20th anniversary, Café del Sol excitingly launches a bigger, better, and brighter island coffee shop with their recent renovation and makeover. The interiors are updated and refreshed for a more stylish look. The second floor is also redeveloped with an expansive space that can hold private functions and parties, good for special events up to 50 pax, with gorgeous views of the world-famous Boracay beach and sunsets. To give more food options to diners, customers are also honored to cross-order from Aria Cucina Italiana, another brainchild restaurant of Elizalde and Occhionero, where authentic Italian pizzas, pastas, and gelatos are offered, just across the café.
