Bohemian Inspired Resto Camp and Cafe

Happy New Week, everyone and to all my coffee lover friends here at Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community.

It's kind of cute when Facebook memories you almost forgot it happened pops up. I am glad this showed up on my feed.

It was one lazy summer afternoon, I was wanting for some espresso so I told my daughter we're going out and look for a cafe we have not visited yet. I looked up on the internet assuming there were new coffee shops somewhere close. I saw this Bohemian style campground that offers great local dishes and beverages. They have espresso so I rushed and hired a trike immediately.

Welcome To The Camp Avenue

So this is located just a few-minute drive from our house and it is situated at Taboc, San Juan, La Union Philippines. Luckily, the camp is owned by someone I know.

Come and I'll tour you around.

There is a small alley going to the beach area where you can find the camp. As you enter, there are a few bench logs or wood chairs or whatever you call it along the way. My lil stinker @naniplayergamer already stike some poses lol.

And the reception area, a Bohemian-inspired/Bali-style vibe welcomed us.

Those dreamcathers are the bomb! I think my daughter was already hypnotized haha. Silly kid.

Camp Avenue is offering an island-vibe, easygoing beachside camping area for travelers and tourists. They have these Bali-style nipa huts or camp cabins that you can lease for Php800 per pax or around $15usd (2019 rate). You can find these stunning cabins as you walk along inside the area.

Aren't they gorgeous?

If you want a setting that is more laid-back, they likewise offers tents close to the seashore which costs Pph500 per pax or around $10.

You can rent this at a cheaper price around P300 ($5 usd) if you have your own gears. Just let them know ahead of time if you're booking one.

So, now the exciting part. Where's the coffee????

Let's go back to the nipa hut cabins. Beside these cute tiny rooms is where you can find the bar/cafe. Woot woot!

Tadaaaaa!

The colors are stunning. Lok at that! Although I saw hard drinks displayed, I only drink coffee! So we had to find a table for 2 were we could eat. We were hungry too.

How do like the flowers? Ain't those lovely? The vase is made of abaca fiber (Philippine banana native specie) if I am not mistaken. The table is made of bamboo. Perfect for an island-vibe camp.

I then ordered my emotional beverage - black coffee (with a little bit of sugar and milk) and my daughter ordered her favorite street food, fish balls and kikiam with sweet chili sauce.

It was soo good. I actually ordered another cup of coffee - I didn't add milk on my second cup. I think it was better.

The dining is huge and if you are a nomad/virtual assistant, this is also a good spot for you. Work and leisure. Why not?

There are hammocks too if you're a lil tired, just hop in and chill.

Later after that, we roamed around for a couple more photos. The swing at the bar is so cool. My daughter enjoyed sitting there for a couple of minutes.

Close to bar is a tiny reading area where you can find some books and magazines to read while waiting for your food to be prepared. There are also some card games and stuff that you can play like monolopoly and I think they also have bingo cards. Hmmm not sure, buy yeah. I think I saw one.

Then we headed to the camp site area.

There are areas in the camp where tourists can mingle at the common spaces.

And one of the highlights of the camp is the huge "Bird's Nest" (Umok in Ilokano dialect)

This is a good spot for photoshoot especially when its sunset.

As the sun was beginning to set, we headed to the beach which is only a few walks from the nest and take some sunset photos and enjoy the swing as we watched the waves as well.

And the by the way, the camp also hold beach parties and some bonfires every weekend and they can also arrange tour packages as well as surfing lessons.

If you are looking for an inexpensive yet fun and instagrammable place to unwind, I recommend Camp Avenue. It's worth it. Promise! I prolly go this weekend if my schedule permits!

Hope you enjoyed the tour. Until our next coffee adventure!

One love,
