Good news to all book lovers, from QC now at BGC as Book and Boarders recently open their latest store at McKinley Hill, Bonifacio Global City. In a city packed with bars and clubs, Book & Borders offers bookworms and individuals with quieter passions with their own relaxing respite.

The latest themed café to open in Tomas, Morato, Quezon City and McKinley Hill, Bonifacio Global City, Book & Borders has become one of the metro’s more popular hangouts, and not for the reasons that you’d typically expect.

While coffee shops and cafes are now a dime a dozen, Book & Borders puts itself in a class of its own, distinguishing itself as a haven for people who want to enjoy a more relaxed afternoon, sipping their favorite brew and immersed in their favorite books.

“Here, you can relish the quiet, tucked in your little corner where you can enjoy your coffee or tea, and indulge in your favorite pastime – reading,” shares Kristine Simisim, café owner. “Bring a friend or your new book and discover how time flies.”

But even if you come empty handed, don’t fret. Book & Borders offers an extensive selection of books, from the classics to contemporary bestsellers. And you are free to enjoy them at your leisure. The library is free and open for all, and for a better reading experience, customers are invited to use the book stands available at the café.

“I’m so ecstatic that there’s finally a place for people like us. It’s cozy and inviting, and you won’t get too distracted like in crowded cafes. ‘Books + coffee’ spells the perfect afternoon,” shares Kapuso artist and budding poet Benjamin Alves.

“What I love about Book & Borders is that there’s always something new to discover because they constantly update their library. So even if you just want to browse, all the recent best sellers are on the shelves,” shares Karylle, a self-proclaimed bookworm and travel books collector.

But the bestsellers are not only limited to the books on the shelves, you can find them on the menu as well.

Do indulge your sweet tooth with scrumptious varieties of cakes and squares. (Do try the Book & Borders bestseller: the Queso de Bola Cake!) For something more filling, the menu also offers delicious pastas (Truffle Mushroom Pasta and Tuyo Pasta) and sandwiches like the Beef Pastrami Panini as well as hearty rice dishes.

Of course, aside from their famous brewed coffee and cold coffee-concoctions, you must not forget to sample their array of refreshing smoothies, calming teas and juices.

We love cats! I personally grew up with cats in our house. We love to cuddle and play with these very adorable pets that's why I am so excited when I heard that a cat cafe is up already and is catering to who else but catlovers. The establishment's location is quite far at my end because it is located at Katipunan, Quezon City. It is on the 2nd floor of the building and as you enter you need to leave your shoes in the cabinet then wear socks so that you can freely roam around the area.

According to the staff of the Cat House Cafe, there are 15 cats housed in the establishment and all of them have names of which I wasn't able to memorize. Too many to know and remember but they are really lovely and cute. It is like a haven for cat lovers as you can see cat every where and what's great is that it's inside the cafe. You can enjoy the company of cats while having your treat.
The Uchi No Neko Family built the permanent cafe site, which boasts one hundred square meters of dining and cat interaction space.Designed to be the ultimate cat lover's haven, Cat House is furnished with comfortable, cat-themed seats and tables for dining, and surrounded by custom-made feline-friendly furniture, including overhead kitty highways, play areas, cat gyms, and even human-sized hammocks and swings.
Check out some of the super cute feline friends that they have there. They are very friendly, you can touch them but please, don't hold them that tight or carry them around, pinch them or anything that will scare them away.
And since Cat House Cafe cater primarily to cat-loving fur parents, Uchi No Neko has a 9-suite cat hotel on a separate floor from the cafe area, where you can entrust them with your feline babies while you're away on vacation or work. Their floor-to-ceiling enclosures provide a comfortable, safe environment for their hotel guests, with 24-hour staff to attend to each and every client's needs.
Some of the cats that they have there are for adoption and if you really love to adopt one of the cats that they have, you will go through a process just to prove that you will be able to take very good care of them, some of them went through tough times and it will surely wonderful if their next parents will be able to love them.
The cat madness does not stop with the cafe's interiors—their food and drinks, developed by their cat-loving kitchen staff, are also kitty-themed!

They researched the best ways to design and present the drinks and bento meals to taste as good as they look—people will surely be taking photos of their meals before digging in.
My kids will love the way they present their food, the Bento Meals. Their food is superb even their drinks, it is like a child friendly food that they offers in the cafe. 



The Cat House Cafe wanted to provide top-quality service and go beyond the usual quaint cat cafe. Uchi No Neko is also a venue for arts, crafts, and literature workshops and seminars, as well as a gallery for cat artworks from different artists. They also provide opportunities for small businesses to showcase and sell their unique and certified kitty-themed merchandise and help spread the word about their ventures.
