MOST of the time, hearing a restaurant’s name is one of the reasons we want to visit and check it out.
One good example of that is CupSawi. It’s not just a coffee shop but also a restaurant whose food offerings are of world-class presentation and taste.
Many would say that people who are “unlucky” at love come here often. But sometimes in life, it’s not just in love that we fall unlucky. And so in unfortunate times like this, it would always be nice to treat oneself at CupSawi.
Some would also say this is the hideout of people who gave up on love forever.
“When you visit this place you really feel that you’re alone... yung hindi mo alam na akala mo ikaw lang yung nakaka-feel ng loneliness, ng sadness, ikaw lang ang nakakaramdam na wala kang pera, wala kang jowa... pagpasok mo dito you’ll experience the place, the ambiance... paglabas mo you can always tell to yourself na hindi lang pala ako nag-iisa... yung tipo na hindi lang pala ako ang namomoblema sa mundo, marami pala akong karamay, marami pala akong kasama,” said CupSawi owner Michael John Zarate Macapas, a licensed customs broker.
In life, one cannot avoid having problems and obstacles, and so whenever these challenges come our way a great coffee shop as CupSawi can somehow help us feel better -- making us feel that we’re not alone.
Inside, there’s a freedom wall where customers can write their thoughts in small pieces of paper. Others write their messages to former lovers and to someone else they want to talk to.
The food on their menu also has unique names derived from "hugot lines" which really are entertaining for the customers.
Of course in every challenge and every fall, we must rise -- something that can be helped by the fun and entertaining ambiance and "hugot lines" in CupSawi.
“Our objective is to cause someone to smile, na when they come visit our place, they are sad ,but then paglabas nila, alam mo yung fulfillment... because the fulfillment of putting business like this is, alam mo yung vision and mission mo na, na-address talaga... for me, that’s the spirit of the business,” he added.
CupSawi is the first coffee shop and restaurant in Davao City with this unique theme of “hugot-sawi” lines.
Try the place out, you'll surely love it here.
