Fujinoya

This cafe infuses new and refreshing twists to Western-style dessert favorites by using Japanese styles and techniques. Popular for their matcha dishes, they surely won’t disappoint with their matcha shortcake and matcha mousse.

32 Umber

While serving real, good coffee that’s best paired with made-with-love desserts, 32 Umber’s interiors are perfect for that instagrammable shot. They’re best known for their coffee, but their matcha oreo tart and matcha-strawberry cake are noteworthy too.

Room for Dessert

Specializing in premium soft-serve ice cream enveloped in delicious fairy floss, this dessert cafe also has a wicked matcha selection. You can opt to have it served hot in a latte or cold in an ice cream smoothie.

Of course, we can never forget to have matcha in gelato. This gelato shop is a favourite among Cebuanos and their gelato is perfect to beat Cebu’s tropical heat.

Bubbletea Station

Proudly homegrown, they serve milk teas, fruit teas and specialty teas. Indulge in their matcha milk tea and support local while you’re at it, too.

Five Best Ice Cream Places in Cebu https://zee.ph/five-best-ice-cream-places-in-cebu/ https://zee.ph/five-best-ice-cream-places-in-cebu/#comments Fri, 04 Aug 2017 05:15:06 +0000 http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/?p=18125 Being a filipino is many things. One includes the need to be constantly cooled down. And also, the sweet tooth is real! Which is why ice creams, coolers and halo-halos are a popular choice for one of those really warm days (or nights). 

Here is a breakdown of the best ice cream places you must go to in Cebu.

Gelatissimo

The Italian gelato is a cult phenomenon. At Cebu, get the best gelato only at Gelatissimo. Their wide selection of ice cream flavors gives every one a chance to find their favorite.

The Buzzz Cafè by Bohol Bee Farm

Bringing you healthy goodness all the way from Bohol, The Buzzz by Bohol Bee Farm offers one of the healthiest, if not THE healthiest ice cream in the city. Made with all-natural and organic ingredients, this creamy and refreshing treat is a hit amongst all ages. Especially when topped over their special Cassava cones. 

Ground Floor, Robinson’s Galleria; Lower Ground Floor, Mountain Wing, SM Seaside City

Ice Giants

It says on the name, Giant, and you get what you get: A Real Giant. At least, a real giant tub of Ice Cream, drowsed in syrup, brownies, sprinkles, marshmallows and whatever else you like on it. This one is definitely for share. But we don’t judge if you could finish one yourself! 

Osmeña Blvd, Cebu City, Cebu

Texas Creamery

A measure of a great ice cream is in its texture and taste. While taste is relative, texture is definitely not. And at Texas Creamery, you get the creamiest, softest ice cream treat you can ever get. Conveniently, a wide selection of flavors is ready for devouring!

Magnum Ice Cream has been around in stores for awhile. But at their Pleasure Store, max up its greatness with different kinds of toppings you can put on it. Enjoy, and thank us later. 🙂

For those hot days, rainy nights, movie marathon afternoons and midnight snacks, ice cream has always been there for us.

Marisse Patisserie

dessert places to visit in Cebu - marisse

Homebaked and fresh are two things that are hard to find in cafés these days. However, a little side trip to 32 Sanson in Lahug lies a hidden gem with a relaxing ambiance. Offering freshly brewed coffee and baked goods right from their kitchen, Marisse Patisserie has become a sweet getaway in the heart of Cebu.

A short climb on the highlands of Cebu rests a beautiful paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Delice Recipe features a first hand experience of Cebu’s beautiful skyline as well as their must-try Quattro Leches – a spongy chiffon cake soaked in 4 kinds of sweet milk. Pair that with coffee or tea and that’s a one-way ticket to dessert heaven. You’re welcome.

Crepes are a must-try at Tymad Bistro, a French café in Banilad owned and operated by a French chef. We recommend topping it with anything that tickles your fancy, whether its Nutella or Mango and Whipped Cream. If that’s not up in your alley, macaroons, cheesecakes and parfaits are also ready for devouring.

With fresh breads and coffee in a Parisienne feel, Abaca Baking Company is quickly becoming the trendiest place in Cebu. The place is great but do not be fooled, the food is even greater. All food and drinks are whipped up right from the kitchen with the freshest ingredients they can get their hands on.

There’s the famous Malicious Cookies but aside from that, we highly recommend Marco Polo Plaza’s Earl Grape Iced Tea. The tea is served with elderflower-infused ice cubes and Earl Grey Tea poured over seedless green grapes. Along with a freshly baked lokum or Turkish delight, the drink is surely the perfect cool down for the summer heat.

Eats in Cebu: Gelatissimo Café https://zee.ph/eats-in-cebu-gelatissimo-cafe/ https://zee.ph/eats-in-cebu-gelatissimo-cafe/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:20:43 +0000 http://res210.servconfig.com/~zee/?p=10471 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.

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.
