Enzo Cafe, newest coffee shop in Oton Iloilo

Coffee is one of the top most consumed beverages in the world next to water. It gives warmth and can provide many health benefits as well. 

Coffee is known to be nutritious and high in antioxidants. It promotes high energy levels, and a good mood and assists various aspects of brain function.

Enzo Cafe is owned and managed by a young entrepreneur, Cyril Oliverez Lumampao.

Ilonggo's love for coffee evidently promoted an extra bond for the huge community of coffee enthusiasts. In fact, most would travel far in groups just to visit and dine in coffee shops and bistros. Coffee tourism became another reason and motivation for the adventure-seekers to explore, barkadas, and families to look forward.

The Enzo Cafe Brief Story

Prior to this business venture, he was very busy with his career as a band vocalist and as a solo artist who performs in Iloilo City, Boracay, other parts of the Iloilo province, and Metro Manila. 

He was one of the most energetic band vocalists and a darling of the crowd in the Iloilo music industry prior to the distress caused by the covid-19. The pandemic has inspired the zestful soul to start a business.

Lumampao also mentioned that before he finally started building this dream venture. He was confused, and torn and was having a hard time contemplating if he will buy a property like a house or a car from his savings until a clear vision of this dream business finally transpired. 

"This is something I really want to do and accomplish since I was young. Now, we do not know what is life ahead of us; it is the reason why I pushed this through. I want it to happen. I did not grow up in a well-off family and I felt so sorry for my mother for enduring all the emotional and financial burdens in order to provide for us and support us until we finish our studies. I want her to be happy and proud of me." Lumampao shared with tears.

"I know how it feels to have nothing. During the peak of the pandemic last year, I'm glad because I was able to provide for my family's needs despite all uncertainties. I loved the feeling; it boosted me to do more. All of these (the business) are from my heart. I did all the processing of the permits, the set-up for the physical shop, the details, the planning - I did all this heartily." Lumampao continued.
