One Week to Go!
ACTIVITIES & PROMOS
We have 1 week to go before Teachers’ Day. Here’s the schedule:
December 1 (Monday) – Therese Medina (CAS)
December 2 (Tuesday) – Aldo Lim (CDC)
December 8 (Monday) – Jomar Rabajante (CAS)
December 9 (Tuesday) – Butch Bataller (CEAT).
You will see them working at the café working as a busboy and wearing an apron from 5 to 8 pm. And be sure to bring along your friends and classmates and avail of our Teachers’ Day Promo.
Last week we started distributing our Ako’ng Café Antonio Loyalty cards to our regular customers. The promo starts next week on December 1. Be sure to ask our cashier or any of the staff for your loyalty card to join the promo. Twenty drinks gives you an exclusive Ako’ng Café Antonio black mug which you can bring home or keep in the café for your orders of hot or cold drinks.
CAFÉ NEWS
So far our sales have steadily picked up since the sembreak. The only significant drop (and thank God, the only drop) in sales was from the maximum high of the week before the sembreak to the maximum low of the first week of the sembreak. Since then we have endured the “ghost town” moments at LB thanks to note-worthy loyalists like the CDC faculty, DevComSoc, UPRHS alumni, and newbies—theUPRHS Seniors.
Our blender broke down last Friday. I have been waiting for that day to come for a long time now. It has taken enough beating; it needs to take a break. Good thing our barista, Neil Rebua, had an extra blender at home. It saved the day for us and it gave us the highest sales for the week. Wow. Kuya Boy got the blender fixed the following day. So right now we have two blenders whirring in the kitchen to irritate your quite moments.
We have high hopes for this week and especially for the month to come. Hopefully Budik’s band can do a gig on Tuesday (10 to 11pm) and we also hope that Noel Sta. Maria can come back on December. Our article on Entrepreneur Magazine would also appear on next month’s issue.
To all our customers, thank you for supporting us. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.And thanks for making the café feel like home. God bless!

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON
BFF’S LAST WEEK
Last week was the last week of the Brownie Fudge Frothiccino aka BFF. It played its last game gracefully scoring 13 orders in 6 days falling only behind reigning MVF (Most Valuable Frothiccino), classic Mocha. It was very emotional, seeing the last two BFFs ordered last Friday by Ate Faye and Ate Marisse’s Rural batchmates. Tracy, Neil, and I will miss pulling the big cake container out of the ref and eating the brownie crumbs that fall on the counter. The hassle of making that monster dessert-of-a-drink which Ate Manell orders every time she drops by the cafe will be remembered ’til next year when the BFF makes a comeback on the same month. No matter how much you demand for an extension, we will not give it to you. It will ruin the excitement of waiting, hehe.
Last 2 BFFs
(L-R) Faye, Melo, Sen, Pat, Marisse, MaeThere will be no flavor of the month this month. But that’s ok because we will be releasing a bunch of new drinks. Here’s a preview of next sem’s 08-B freshmen:
NEW DESSERTS
November will feature the release of our chocolate éclairs baked by our talented baker, Ate Marisse. And on December, we will try to add some small Bibingkas to our line, courtesy of my very supportive parents.
RED VELVET FROTHICCINO
Also known as the Raspberry White Mocha Frothiccino, is back! At last!
Last Wednesday, we hosted a housewarming at our apartment at the Bonita Compound. Everyone was there except Julius and Jeg, hehe. We ate a mountain of food and watched crappy horror movies.
(L-R) Kuya Chroms, Padeys, Manell, Tracy, Marisse, Majals, Chino, Joyce, Faye, ManongNovember 1, should we open? Would anybody bother to come? We opened at 7:30 to 9:00 am just to test the waters, and thankfully, we had one customer order a latte. Tracy went home that day to be with his family, so Retz, Neil, and I manned the fort. Padeys came later. We initially planned to open only until 11 pm since we figured that nobody would come. But we were wrong, sooo wrong. Since we were the only cafe open that night, the whole world came to the shop. We also played 2 movies (Sleepy Hollow, Hellboy) as a treat to our loyal customers who came despite the holiday. Thanks guys! We love ELBI!!!
It was also Jeg’s birthday that night. He ordered the very first Smores Frothiccino (he was also the first one to order the Blueberry Cheesecake Blended Cream, our first Flavor of the Month) even though it should not be available yet, hehe. He treated us with triple-patty Whoppers which made us moo in delight.
MEDIA
We haven’t heard from Entrepreneur Magazine yet, so we’re not sure if we’ll be appearing on the November or December issue. Anyway, the second semester and the Christmas season looks very promising! We’ll keep you guys posted. God bless Los Banos, God bless everyone!
