Heading to the south and hoping to find a feel-good caf\u00e9 along the way? Maestro Fedeli Caf\u00e9 in Binan provides this spot. There are not a lot of cafes in South of Luzon but Maestro Fedeli cafe is one of the few that\u2019s worth checking out.<\/p>\n

The name of this small but cozy cafe is a combination of two languages: maestro,<\/em> Italian for \u201cmaster,\u201d and fedeli, <\/em>Spanish word for \u201cfaithful.\u201d The name, then, translates to \u201cfaithful master,\u201d owing to the Christian beliefs of the young owner.<\/p>\n

Young owner Louie Gatdula manages the cafe along with his cousin and his sister. Having worked at a pub abroad, managing a coffee shop seemed familiar to him. His cousin and co-manager Ramil Coronado, who himself worked as a barista here and abroad for several years, believes that operating a coffee shop entails meticulous hands-on work and love for the craft. This mindset explains the success that the cafe enjoys, especially in a town where coffee shops are few.<\/p>\n

The cozy atmosphere that one can experience inside this cafe owes much to the glossy wooden chairs and tables and the subtle lighting. Moreover, the chalk art and calligraphy on the walls are fitting decorations that are visually relaxing and creatively stimulating at the same time.<\/p>\n

COFFEE AND ART. The pretty letters and art complement the caf\u00e9\u2019s relaxing country air with a creative feel.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maestro Fedeli offers hot, iced, and blended beverages, as well as yogurt freeze drinks. Primer recommends its Iced Matcha Macchiato (P150\/12oz), which you can also enjoy hot. This drink has both coffee and green tea in one, so if you are a lover of two, this is perfect for you. For weight-watchers, the Mixed Berries Yogurt Freeze is a wonderful surprise! This drink is neither too sour nor too sweet, and for an affordable price of P139, you can have a 16oz glass of it.<\/p>\n

\nTWO-IN-ONE. The Iced Matcha Macchiato will surely delight coffee and tea lovers!<\/em><\/p>\n

BERRY DELICIOUS. This yogurt freeze is a combination of raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maestro Fedeli also serves pasta, sandwiches, and desserts. \u00a0Try its Baked Chicken Pesto (P119). What is good about it is that the noodles are probably a minute earlier of being al dente, <\/em>so they have a certain bite to them. It\u2019s also not overloaded with cheese making it just savory right. For the sandwiches, the Beef Pastrami (P149) can satisfy two hungry people. Weight-conscious ones wouldn\u2019t have to worry because the bread is wheat. Lastly, finish your meal with a heaven-made Sea-Salt Olive Oil Cookie (P35 each)\u2014a soft, chewy cookie that tastes like pure dark chocolate instead of a cookie.<\/p>\n

\"MF_Cookies\"<\/em>COOKIE DELIGHT. For only 35 pesos each, grab a piece of Sea-Salt Olive Oil Cookie and Oreo Cheesecake Cookie. <\/em><\/p>\n
