Eats in Cebu: Gelatissimo Café
A fresher Gelatissimo is now here in the country! Gelatissimo Café in Streetscape is the first store in Philippines to sport the newest look and format.
The new brand of Gelatissimo is fresher and more contemporary. From the previous red and green colors, the brand has adapted into a more modern take with red and black. The vibrant look translated to what the brand stands for, which is to provide positive customer experience.
“We want to achieve and complete the perfect café experience in your friendly neighborhood,” Maite Moraza, the director of Gelatissimo Philippines, said. After seven years in the country, Gelatissimo has embraced a fresher café format. It is the first store to have inside seats where customers can sit down and take the time to enjoy their gelato and the company of their loved ones.
Gelatissimo Café is the first store to offer pastries and new sundae desserts for customers to enjoy. The brand’s original Italian coffee is taken further with new coffee items in the menu.
The new branding will be rolled out to other stores soon. Gelatissimo in Greenbelt 5 will be started in the coming weeks, while the store in Ayala Center Cebu will follow in the third quarter of 2015.
Something exciting is still in the works for Gelatissimo Café, which people can look forward to in the next few weeks.

LONDON IN FULL BLOOM: An Exclusive Look at the recent Chelsea Flower Show
The Chelsea Flower Show in London, one of the most prestigious horticultural events in the world, returned in full glory in May 2023, captivating visitors with its stunning displays and landscape designs. Held annually on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, this year’s show proved to be a true feast for the senses, showcasing an array of breathtaking gardens, vibrant floral arrangements, and innovative landscaping. The 3-day event showcased 36 outdoor gardens, including four balcony gardens for small spaces. Inside the giant pavilion, blooms compete with each other, exotic flowers, roses, and many more.
The 2023 Chelsea Flower Show embraced a Nature’s Harmony theme, with a strong focus on sustainability and mental health. The show’s organizers emphasized the importance of sustainable gardening practices and biodiversity conservation, inspiring attendees to create beautiful outdoor spaces while preserving and protecting the environment.
What’s Cebu got to do with the Chelsea Flower Show in London? One person. James Doran Webb (https://www.jamesdoranwebb.co.uk), an Englishman working with driftwood, has been displaying his artworks for several years. James collects cast-off driftwood and shapes them into beautiful animal shapes that find places in some of the most iconic gardens. Leaping horses, owls, reindeer, and the occasional dragon, James Webb’s creations are avidly collected by landscapers to add accent to gardens in all sizes, using cast-off wood, fitting perfectly with the sustainable element—something Mr. Webb has done quite well for the last decade.
