Have you been to a beachside coffee shop?
While we were in our province, La Union, visiting our grandmother, our cousins went above and beyond by giving us a wonderful tour. Our exciting adventure began when my cousin from Ilocos arrived and shared her plans to show us around Ilocos.
She suggested that we visit the recently opened coffee shop near the beach after our lunch in San Fernando, as we made our way to Ilocos.
One of the businesses I have always dreamt of is owning a coffee shop near the beach. Two of my faves in one spot!
If you're in La Union and looking for a new coffee spot, you should definitely visit Bean to Elyu, a recently opened coffee shop. Like, totally new! Their coffee shop's name is like a reminder of our time in La Union. Nostalgic! On the day of their grand opening, we decided to go there, and as expected, the place was quite crowded.
Inside the venue was already full, so my parents, our driver, and some of my cousins had to sit outside, whereas my siblings, my other cousins, my aunt and me managed to find seats inside.
Thanks to our cousin's suggestion, we were able to go to that place on the day of their opening and take advantage of their buy 1 take 1 promo. We ended up paying for only 6 cups instead of the original 12 cups 😁
I'm loving the spot of this coffee shop. This coffee shop is just beside the Korean BBQ resto so you can enjoy beach vibes while having korean bbq and coffee!
This place was so simple and I liked it. One of the highlights of this place is that the walls are made of glass, allowing us to enjoy a beautiful beach view from inside. The only bad part is that it gets really hot in the afternoon. We went there in the middle of the day and it's crazy hot! The good news is that they have both an air conditioner and an electric fan indoors, so you can stay cool despite the heat. The curtains played a part as well!
We checked out their menu and started placing our order. We checked out their Frappucinos, the ones without coffee (for my mom and aunt who aren't coffee people, and for my younger cousins). I usually go for hot coffee, but with the weather and the place, I decided to get a cold caramel macchiato.
They have pastries too but we didn't get any because we already bought bread from bread talk when we left the mall in San Fernando.

The coffee is nothing special, but the atmosphere and the place are what make it awesome. On our next visit to our province, we'll make sure to come back here.
We really wanted to stay for the sunset, but we had to go since we still need to go to Ilocos before going back to La Union.
