A gingerbread house is one of the sweetest ways to say thank you, and you can do it by yourself too. All you need are a few ingredients: butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, baking soda, melted white chocolate or Royal Icing for the decor and some Gumdrops, licorice and peppermint too add some charm. You don’t have to make it that big, just enough to show how much you appreciate the people around you.
The façade of the new Gelatissimo Café at Streetscape
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.
A fresher and more contemporary ambiance with the new Gelatissimo concept
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.

Stepping inside the 10 Dove Street at the Oakridge Business Park felt like being let in on a secret—one of Cebu’s best-kept secrets, that is. Having been tucked into a quiet village in Banilad for the most part of a decade, 10 Dove Street became popular for those in the know, yet rather elusive for those who didn’t.

After 12 years, the quaint café decided to build a new nest where more people could flock to them. Since it opened at the Oakridge Business Park last year, long-time patrons and new customers have reveled in the same cozy ambiance that it was known for.

10 Dove Street has a straightforward meal set system designed to allow diners to maximize the items on the menu: The 10 Dove Street Experience includes soup, salad, a sandwich, and dessert; while soup, an entrée, and dessert make up the Kitchen Favorites.
Some of 10 Dove Street’s must-try dishes are the Roast Beef Dylan and the Awesome Burger Steak. The melted cheese added a unique flavor to the roast beef, while the homemade gravy made a winner out of the burger steak.

No visit to 10 Dove Street is complete without dessert. The restaurant has been known for their cakes as much as the place itself, and with good reason: The cakes were fluffy yet full of flavor, one bite leading to another until everything was gone.

It’s easy to see why 10 Dove Street has been popular for such a long time, and it’s no surprise that less than a year since the new branch has been open, it’s already been packed with both old and new fans alike. With its good food and cozy ambiance, 10 Dove Street is a secret that can’t be kept.
