LIGHTS, CAMERA, COFFEE!

When COVID-19 spread all over the globe, all of our outdoor activities come to a halt. We lived through the quarantine phase in the Philippines, as well as the lockdowns that occurred around the country. This is also the time when all establishments where people go and visit, such as the cinema and coffee shops, were forced to closed. We all know that many people, like me, enjoy going to coffee shops and movie theaters to unwind and enjoy themselves.

Finally, after two years, all establishments, persons, or activities are now permitted to operate, work, or engage in activities at full on-site or venue/seating capacity as long as they meet minimal public health standards—and it includes two of our favorite places: the coffee shops and cinemas.

TBA Studios, a production powerhouse, has brought together all of your favorite things in one place, the Cinema '76 Cafe. For cinema enthusiasts and coffee junkies alike out there, this is the best place for you. The third level of the Anonas LRT City Center, Aurora Boulevard, Quezon City, houses this alfresco coffee café. As a coffee and movie buff, I highly suggest this place.

What could we expect to see or experience at Cinema '76?

This neighborhood cafe is intended to be a cozy hideaway for both movie buffs and coffee drinkers, as its name suggests. There you may enjoy the alfresco environment as well as the one-of-a-kind movie-themed décor. Posters from TBA Studios' well-loved films and a very comfortable 'bench sitting' evocative of Cinema '76 Film Society's trademark couch seats are among the visual influences.

The Cinema '76 Café menu, of course, is something to anticipate. It serves delectable desserts, pastries, and beverages. Popcorn Frappe, Chocolate Chip Banana Loaf, and Mango Cake are among the must-try foods. The prices on their menu range from 50 to 200 pesos. It's affordable and delicious at the same time.

About the TBA Studios, it is a leading film production and distribution company in the Philippines. TBA Studios is committed to producing high-caliber entertaining Filipino films that push and break boundaries in the service of the new generation of audiences.

Since businesses such as cafés and movie theaters are permitted to operate at full capacity, the Cinema '76 Café provides a secure environment for its patrons. Throughout the day, they employ an air sterilizer and disinfector. They also disinfect their furniture, fixtures, and surfaces after every use.
