A Quick Snacktime Stop at Cafetana

Yesterday, my sister, cousin, and I decided to take a short break from our errands and stop by Cafetana for a quick snack. It wasn’t a big plan—more like one of those moments when you suddenly crave something delicious and want to slow down for a bit. Since Cafetana was nearby, we headed there without thinking twice.

Cafetana has an open-area setup, so the place felt airy and relaxed. You could feel the breeze while waiting for your order, and the atmosphere made it easy to just stand around, talk, and observe the people coming and going. It wasn’t crowded when we arrived, which made it even nicer because we didn’t have to rush.

We ended up ordering takoyaki, something we can never really resist. When it came out, it was hot, soft, and packed with flavor—the kind of takoyaki that warms you up even if you’re just stopping by for a few minutes. Every bite had that perfect mix of sauce, mayo, and toppings. We shared the tray among the three of us, and since we all love takoyaki, it didn’t take long before the last piece was gone.

To complete our little snacktime, we each got frappes. With the warm air around us, the cold frappes were such a refreshing treat. The sweetness was just right—not too strong, not too bland—just enough to balance the savory taste of the takoyaki. We sipped our drinks slowly while chatting about random topics: school stuff, funny stories, and plans we still haven’t finalized.

What made the moment even nicer was how simple everything felt. No fancy setup, no pressure to take perfect photos, no need to stay long. It was just us enjoying good food and each other’s company in the middle of a regular day. Sometimes, those unplanned stops end up becoming the highlight—little pauses that remind you that you don’t always need a full-day outing to enjoy time together.

Our quick snacktime at Cafetana may have been short, but it was a sweet break from everything else going on. A mix of takoyaki, frappes, and shared laughter—just enough to brighten up the day.
