A waffle cafe owner in Cebu City expressed gratitude for being given a second chance by their landlord instead of closing his business which he said is his “dream.”
Entrepreneur RJ Basar III on May 23 shared that they almost had to close his “dream cafe” due to low sales.
“Last night, I talked to our landlord and he gave us an offer we couldn’t resist. I grabbed it. But this was God saying this is my second chance,” he wrote on the X (formerly Twitter) platform.
“Got extended! Pls. continue to support me and my little café,” Basar added with a heart hands emoji.
This is my dream café. Sadly, I HAD TO CLOSE DOWN. Sales are declining.

The day before that, Basar revealed that their landlord allowed them more time but added they were “not out of the woods yet.”
“Simple blessings like [these are] hard to come by, yet I’m beyond grateful already. Thank you, LORD, for this blessing. And, OH! Did I forget to mention that I have the best landlord ever?” he wrote on May 22.
The entrepreneur is also seeking the public’s opinion on whether he should tap “foodie influencers” to promote their cafe.
‼️LEGIT QUESTION‼️
Should I tap in foodie influencers to promote our small café? Will it be worth it? I really wanna know 🥺
