Coffee and photography at Shutter Cafe

Themed cafes and restaurants are interesting and fun. And being a photography enthusiast, I was excited to learn about a coffee shop with focus on this field. It's Shutter Cafe along Scout Lazcano near the corner with Tomas Morato in Quezon City. I was there with one of my kids on my weekday day-off recently. 
Well, I was pleasantly surprised to learn one thing about this coffee place -- that it's owned by a Christian man. How did I know? Well, Christian music was played during the entire time we were there. No secular song at all, much to our delight, that I couldn't help but ask the server if the owner was a Christian. The crew answered in the affirmative and even pointed to the man seated with another man near our table. 
It was then that I became interested in their conversation. Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop! It was just that their voices were loud enough to reach us and also, I wanted to know what church they were attending. From their exchanges, it was obvious that the two men were both Christians as they were talking about church ministry. What a blessing to hear two men talking not about women, nor jobs, 
or business, but serving God!
Anyway, Shutter Cafe is full of things concerning photography and there 
is an adjacent area where various equipment are being sold. Also, photography seminars are held here very once in a while.
As for the food, here's what I had with my daughter: 

Quarter Pounder Burger with Cheese, P180.
This was delicious. The beef patty tasted great and the bun was fresh. The veggies were love, adding some healthy goodness to this sinful treat that I now decide to have just once in a while. 


Belgian waffles with ice cream, P150.
My daughter's choice that afternoon, as she craved something sweet.


Iced Caramel Macchiato, P110.
I would usually have hot coffee when eating out but as it was a cloudy but humid 
afternoon, I had my joe iced and a little sweet. 

Cafe Mocha, P100.
My daughter's hot drink that provided thermal contrast with 
the ice cream on her waffles.

If you're looking for a nice, quiet place to have coffee, Shutter Cafe may just be your perfect choice in the Tomas Morato Morato area. You're gonna love it there even more if you're into photography, and yes, if you're a Christian who listens
to mostly or solely worship songs.
