Welcome to my commentary about my survival juice

[coffeentary]

Stars Guide

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf 📍Ayala Central Bloq

Iced Spanish Latte - 195 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review soonest !

[coffeentary]

Bo's Coffee 📍Casa Gorordo Museum

Iced Caffè Latte - 190 PHP

⭐⭐⭐

This is very expensive (for my standard). The taste is also a little bit bland. This is a regular. But the memory of doing our volunteer work, entering this place for the first time and spending my pay for coffee is definitely for the books so ~~ two for the memories ! The other star is for the location, despite its isolation to public transportation--- that short walk is good! Once you get there, you will love the fairy lights (I love fairy lights)

The smell of rain on the grass was an added peaceful element, along with the slightly glossed over street. It's a beautiful place ~

I heard Bo's Coffee have good coffee though, so don't hold out too much on ordering when circumstances allow it too!

Oka Bakery 📍Country Mall Banilad Road

Iced Caramel Machiatto - 135 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's relatively cheap...right? Their pastries can't be too destructive for your wallet, once in a while. There's two for the memories because it's our first time here and we got to try new food!

For coffee, I will suggest ordering this one--- it has the most flavorful taste out of all their coffees. For non-coffee beverages, we definitely loved their Lemon Green Tea (95 PHP) !

Go for the coffee, stay for the pastries !! The lacking star is that I wouldn't put too much of an expectation with the coffee taste but overall, what a lovely bakery ! Random conversation topics were made on this day and I couldn't be more fulfilled ><

Lost Books 📍Osmeña Blvd.

Iced Spanish Latte - 150 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

All I can say is that if you're on a quest to read a book without distractions and want coffee while you're at it, do it here. Time stops at Lost Books and you get peace.

The coffee is expensive but it's a big cup so it's alright! The taste is also very Spanish latte (maybe I'm getting good in identifying coffees).

The lacking star is probably that they have a limited menu but it's more of a bookshop than a cafe so that's not really a problem. I LOVED IT THERE !

Happy Pride !

Albi's 📍30 Osmeña Blvd, Cebu City, 6000

Cafe Latte (Hot) - 139 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Straight off, I think the coffee is actually good ! The one star is because I don't think I can visit here because of how expensive it is for me :((

Location wise: it's air-conditioned, they have slippers (optional but they do let you take your shoes off), there's WiFi, and they have a cold plunge (!!).

This is discounted from 155 (10%) so bring your Student ID, okay?

There's cinnamon in the coffee but it tastes good (for someone who isn't a fan of cinnamon, it's good)

DUDE, it's a record!! I finished it ~~ (this is the first time I've finished a drink in one seating. And guys, this never happens WHAAAAT)

[coffeentary]

Pick-up Coffee 📍Grab

Brown Sugar Latte Regular - 95 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think Judel's brown sugar latte is still on top of the score board. Price-wise?? Pick-up coffee is good !! Thank you for the student-friendly price >u< !

Definitely a pleasant memory that a friend indulged my request to order coffee and some ordered as well (good as it gets discounts) so

[coffeentary]

Isla del Café 📍Near University of Cebu (UC) Main Campus

Java Chips - 49 PHP

⭐️⭐️

I will most definitely try their other flavors again! Price-wise, they're very affordable.

I really enjoyed their non-caffeine drinks so I recommend them (especially the hot chocolate, which soothed me during my period cramps).

The staff did ask if my Java Chips was espresso based so I guess it's supposed to have coffee but I didn't taste it |*･д･)ﾉ The overall taste did not appeal to me much :<<

Location-wise, it can get very hot but they have many chairs so you can bring your friends !!

I will definitely try their other drinks soonest !!

[coffeentary]

Smallville Playground Cafe📍 Vibo Place

Spanish Latte - 160 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You can never go wrong with Spanish Latte, I learned. The place is amazing!! There's WiFi (don't abuse it) and outlets.

If you have enough money, you can also play at the indoor playground! I'm guessing it's alright (and no age restrictions) since the staff was very graceful when we were curiously looking at the price rate.

The waffle was worth it, size-wise (I couldn't even finish it 0-0)

Had fun sipping the coffee ! That's two for memory !

I can imagine returning but the menu is a little limiting...but no corkage as far as I know so your lunch can come from the stalls outside!!

[coffeentary]

Banana Pancake Trail 📍 Escario St.

Ca Phe Muio - 149 PHP

⭐⭐⭐

I asked the staffs and they said this is one of the best-seller, alongside Banana Coffee !

I would say I'm not a huge fan of too much saltiness (they said this is salted caramel-based) but I am glad I can taste the coffee. The lacking star might be that it's not my cup of coffee but the place, the food (Godric, I really love the food), earns a star for me!

PS: Remember that they have cashless payment now T___T !

The first time I went here, I was obsessed with Roti Gluay Milo (I still pretty much am). Eat their pad thai too!

[coffeentary]

Coffee Postal 📍 UP Cebu Concessionare

Salted Caramel - 75 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I plucked up the courage to ask for more salted caramel and ermmm it was probably too much but hey !! Good for me!

Two for the memory because I had a free chocolate cookie with this ! I am also glad the weather was nice to see my friends go through the flea market with this in my hand.

This stall really had good music and the price is good! The other star might be the taste (which was just a teeny tiny minor issue of having too much salted caramel sauce that I asked for-)

[coffeentary]

Angkla Kape 📍 UP Cebu Concessionare

Biscoff Latte - 109 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Paired with burger and a quiet afternoon with my mother, that's two for memory!! The other star is for the possibility of trying their store again.

The biscoff is barely noticeable, but I could really see the potential if they added more of it... more biscuit or more biscoff sauce (does that exist?)

And I also got to drink it while commuting (coffee + night walk = 💯)

I'm not sure when I'll be able to try their drinks again since Cookout is finished but we'll see ! The one star is for definitely trying the shop again...but the price is not very affordable (I know I've spent more than this amount on coffee but student-price wise...it's not a good go-to cup T____T)

[coffeentary]

I feel like...just to celebrate that I got my coffeentary blog (after Tumblr got blocked in the Philippines) I have to drink coffee tomorrow or just this week

So I can put an entry here

[coffeentary]

Cafestrasse Milkteahouse Cebu 📍North Agora, Talamban

Mochacchino - 98 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Two for the memory because this was such a spontaneous trip!! We also toured the plaza because we didn't realize that the shop was the first cafe we passed lol.

The taste is in the average scale but the staffs were easy-going!! I might not visit again only because I don't really pass it in my everyday routine ><

Thank you for this trip!!

[coffeentary]

Roadster95 Cafe 📍Negros Occidental

Hot Caramel Machiattos - 120 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our first cafe here in San Carlos City!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I actually really like their price and the ambience! I know it's perhaps bare minimum, but I appreciate that they gave us a free pitcher of cold water ><

The coffee I ordered wasn't hot at all but the coffee art was so cute hghdjd and I love this moment!

I get to spend it with my family, eating chocolate chip cookies, sour cream fries, and blueberry cheese cake while drinking each other's drinks!

The lacking star would be for the temperature when served and the taste is in the mediocre side but I really like this place !

[coffeentary]

Entry on Judel's Premium Cafe 📍 Talamban

Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Latte - 165 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a productive day of doing a photoshoot for a graphic design finals with a friend (*see her in the third photo!). We wanted a cafe vibes and made our way here!!

Honestly, their meal (which we had for lunch, 180 PHP) was worth it for the price!

And when I tasted this coffee, I kind of melted in ecstasy! I'm not sure if I'm making sense but it really tastes like brown sugar...which should since that what you ordered but no no, some coffees don't taste the way you expect but it's exactly what you'd expect brown sugar coffee to be like sdfcgvhj

I think that's already a good price for a coffee and with how delicious and relatively cheap their pastries are, it's definitely a place you'd want to go back to (with outlets AND wifi vouchers)

Try their other coffees !!

[coffeentary]

Entry on Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf 📍 Ayala Center Cebu

Caramel Macchiatos Hot - 205 PHP

⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was one of the cheapest drinks in CBTL and it's okay! It's good when you really just want something hot to consume; the taste is in the mediocre side for me. I really like the atmosphere but realistically, I may not be able to casually drop by because it's expensive sdfgh

It's a fun day with my siblings though so it's two for the memory and one for the overall ambience!!
