Where is Kibangay?
Kibangay is one of the barangays in Lantapan- known as the "vegetable basket" of Mindanao. One of the major crops grown around the area or shall I say in the entire province of Bukidnon is coffee. I can fairly attest to that as I've seen a lot of these trees anywhere in Bukidnon. We've also lived in this province for a couple of years and my father used too grow coffee when we're still kids.
Now, let's talk about Cafe sa Bukid
Kudos to the person or family behind this amazing cafe. They certainly knew what people are looking for nowadays. Though the place isn't that accessible if you're from any of the neighboring cities, it's all worth it once you see the place.
On our drive back to CdeO, one of my cousins suggested that we take the other route from Valencia City so we can drop by at Cafe sa Bukid. I've never heard about this cafe before. My cousin told me that it's been featured on a local TV show and a lot of people are posting about this new coffee place on social media.
With the name itself, I have a great feeling that there would be something like a hut made of bamboo with a balcony where you can try their local fresh brewed coffee or a fruity flavored drink. The cafe is not far from how I imagined it. The area is gifted with a beautiful surrounding which is one the best that I've ever seen.
You'll need to take off your shoes once you want to go upstairs. You'll surely like the experience of walking in their shiny wooden floors also made of bamboo and roam around while waiting for your coffee or hot chocolate. There's a mini balcony with a beautiful backdrop which is insta worthy. You'll also learn a little about their language with some of the Binukid (dialect used by indigenous people) phrases printed at the back of your queue number.
What I love about Cafe sa Bukid?
It's their authenticity! I've gathered that the fruits in their drinks like the banana and strawberries are freshly picked from their backyard garden which visitors can take a walk with no entrance fee. They are also using an organic bamboo straw for their drinks made by the locals.
