Just Love ♥: September 2016

As we all may have noticed, the number of themed cafes has risen in Cebu and each space is creatively designed to suit every mood or affinity. Whether it’s for a quick chitter chatter with friends, a way to de-stress, a place to study, or just to enjoy a nice slice of cake while sipping your favourite cup of coffee/tea… You’re bound to find at least one that takes your fancy. In our case, we found Café Berry!

Flowers and wine for the Store's opening

Our visit here was actually unintentional. My friend, Rachel, and I just happen to pass by this small & quaint café that had just recently opened while on our way to eat lunch, and what caught our attention was this large green sign in front that says: “Buy 1 Take 1!” and being the abstemious foodies that we are, we decided to pay this place a visit on our way back to the office.

Rachel and I while waiting.

The store’s front wasn’t really stellar (hence, we only noticed it because of the Buy 1 Take 1 sign) but their minimalist interior is something that I find very refreshing & I actually find the white brick walls with the little decorative artificial moss quite lovely. I just love that the décor isn’t too overwhelming but still brings out a chic and relaxing atmosphere.

Rachel and I ordered their Vanilla Latte Iced Coffee for P160 (we paid P80 each ‘cause of the promo). It was sweet, milky, potently vanilla-flavoured, but had no depth or bitterness from the coffee. It may not be a good choice for people who are trying to stay awake or those who just want their coffee to taste like, well, coffee). But being that gal who prefers her coffee sweet & milky, I actually liked it! And for P160 the cup was actually pretty tall (and full!).

Vanilla Latte. P160

Enjoying our iced coffee. Yum.

And just like any other café, they also serve cakes here but I wasn’t able to get a clearer photo of them since they were all stored in the fridge (and oh, the Buy1 Take1 Promo doesn’t apply to their cakes). But they all looked mouthwatering! I just hope they would include milk tea on their menu (who doesn’t love milk tea, right?) and add a little bit of soft music to compliment the cozy atmosphere.

Cake...

...and more cakes!

Also, check out these cool, lip-smacking, artificial food decorations which according to the very beautiful Korean owner (who I was too shy to ask the name and take a photo with) will also be served on their menu soon. They just haven’t thought of the pricing yet.

They’re also planning to add Wifi soon and they have power outlets for those who’d like to charge their phones or laptops. Guess I found my new hang-out place.

So what are you waiting for? Check this place out and see for yourself! This is located just outside IT Park, across the Big Discounts store beside Tonyo’s. Hurry! Grab a friend and enjoy the Buy 1 Take 1 offer while it lasts!
