Naga City - How many homegrown coffee shops do we have in Naga? Quite a lot now. Aside from mushrooming banks, coffee shops has recently mushroomed in every nook of the city. All of these coffee shops have unique flavors and stylish interiors. Perhaps the common denominator of these coffee shops are coffee, pasta and or pastries. Prices vary across different coffee shops and serving size is always a consideration. Well, tastes will be always subjective for every customer. Let me take you to a pod like you've never seen before.
Location: In front of Tapsi Terminal along Magsaysay Avenue, Naga City.

Young Blood Bicolana Entrepreneur. The Coffee Pod is owned by a 22 year old lady named Shai Bolvar. Bicolano entrepreneurs is become younger and younger these days and just look how amazing is the turnout. She loves to cook and bake for her friends and she decided to venture into her own business after establishing first Spices and Cream as their family business. Yup you read it right, Spices and Cream is their family business, The Coffee Pod is her own brand. Both the recipes from Spices and Cream and The Coffee Pod is Shai's ingenuity but they do not overlap when it comes to the kind of food. It just shows how creative she is in making her own recipes from coffee down to pastries and pasta.

Now consider this, if your cafe offers board games and cards as one their service, you should be thankful, they want you to stay longer! Nice, isn't it?
Reasonably priced. Student-friendly priced but the food does come with a professional taste especially on the pasta. Hot drinks starts at P30 to P60, cold ones at P50 to P100. Sandwiches from P80 to P90 and pasta from P95 to P115. Surprisingly low but amazingly delicious. Budget conscious people will surely enjoy this cafe.

Though the pasta is for a single order, the price is right for the serving size. There are other coffee shops in Naga having serving size as these or even lesser but with a higher price tag.

The taste testing at The Coffee Pod happened to be on the day of my birthday and a Bicol Bloggers event at the same time. I could not thank everyone enough. I am truly touched by the surprise of #BicolBloggers. Thank you for the balloons, the song, The Coffee Pod Muffins Cups and the effort especially Nick Astig!! And of course Ms. Shai of the Coffee Pod because I instantly had a birthday party. Dios Mabalos!
