Much like a massage from a cat, coffee helps people to wake up, enlivens morning routines, and can be painful against bare skin. Keep a lid on your morning with today's Groupon: for $9, you get $20 worth of coffee, breakfast fare, and Filipino fare at The Coffee Adventure Company in Milpitas.

The baristas of The Coffee Adventure Company top cups off with three types of java bought directly from producers and whet appetites with a menu of breakfast classics, grilled paninis, pastries, and Filipino dishes. Patrons can kick-start brains with fresh Filipino coffee, warming their hands on an 8-ounce ($1.65), 12-ounce ($1.85), or 16-ounce cup ($1.95) of imported joe before diving into the breakfast menu, dished out until 11 a.m. Savory classics such as an egg-cradling breakfast muffin can arrive bare or shrouded in a blanket of bacon or ham ($2.19–$2.95), and traditional silog plates bundle zesty meats such as adobo chicken or tocino pork with zucchini, eggs, rice, and a complimentary cup of coffee or tea ($6.99). Lunch-inclined diners chomp on paninis such as the tuna artichoke with provolone cheese, made powerful by a surfeit of sacrificial artichoke hearts ($5.95), or the grilled Adobo Salvador pan de sal, whose seasoned chicken rides a vessel of spanish round bread to bear its grizzled wisdom on taste buds that ignore history's lessons ($5.95 for two pieces).

Patrons lounge in plush seating surrounded by dark maroon walls and mosaic tiled mirrors, and the chairs slather on sunscreen to bathe in the sunlight passing through the shop's plate-glass windows. Outdoor seating affords diners a chance to enjoy pleasant days while noshing on flavorful Filipino grub, and on the weekends, occasional live music entertains ears while aromatic java entertains taste buds.
