Gourmets Refreshers Cafe
The Gourmet Diner

Refreshers, The Gourmet diner along KM 52 Aguinaldo Highway, in Silang Cavite, started out from an idea that fresh produce be made more conveniently accessible to our market as ready-to-eat items. Refreshers offers a sumptuous serving of what grows most abundant in the Gourmet farm like organically grown lettuce transformed into a wide variety of salads, freshly prepared in tamper proof packs and Refreshers signature cooler, made from a special blend of herbs and lemonade, a drink everyone must try. Refreshers also has a sundries store where Gourmet products such as coffee, tea, kitchen exclusives, potted herbs and organic produce abound. Truly, Refreshers is the total healthy dining experience.

Herb Garden

Walking through Gourmet farm you will come across rows of herbs thriving amidst other plants. With Fifteen (15) different varieties planted in its Herb garden Gourmet takes great care in insuring the healthy growth of each one.

Gourmets experts apply practical measures to protect the produce in their farm. One such step involves planting an occasional marigold bush beside a patch of herbs. Aesthetically attractive, the marigold also has a surprisingly useful purpose, it repels unwanted pests thus protecting the plants around it.

Aside from the more commonly known herbs, Gourmet also explores possibilities in growing and introducing new and exciting herbs into the market.

With simple solutions and diligent care, healthy organic produce abound at the farm and are readily available for all at Gourmets Refreshers café.

Central Kitchen

The Central kitchen is an area bustling with activity. All the raw materials needed for most of Gourmets products are prepared and processed here. From the Farm, produce goes straight to the Central kitchen to be sorted, washed and prepared for final distribution.

Central Warehouse

This facility is conveniently located beside the Central kitchen and the Coffee and tea Production area. All raw materials for the packaging of Gourmet Products such as bottles, boxes and the like are stored here at the Central Warehouse.

Coffee/Tea Production and Roasting

The coffee and tea roasting areas are definitely the most aromatic sections in the Farm. Producing up to 2.4 tons of coffee daily and with a roasting capacity of up to 100k this area is busy at all times. The production of coffee begins with the sourcing of the beans which are then separated according to size for a more balanced roasting. After roasting the beans are stored for a maximum of 2 days before blending and grinding takes place. This lengthy process has resulted in the best Gourmet coffee blends available in the market today.

On the other hand the process for tea production is not as lengthy. The fresh herbs and vegetables are first washed, then dried and ground before being packed into tea bags for distribution. Gourmet’s line of healthy tea is making its presence known and customers can now enjoy the healthful benefits each variety has to offer.

Sanctuary

At the center of the farm lot lies “ST JOSEPHS SANCTUARY”. Fondly called "THE MONKS INN PLACE” by the Gourmet family, it serves as a meditation and retreat house for those searching for some peace and quiet. Available to the public, with its 10 rooms it can accommodate up to 25 persons at one time.

A calming sanctuary amidst the Gourmet farm lot, The Sanctuary is a relaxing escape, ideal for reflection and contemplation.
