Cafes in Cebu: Milktea Time at Beanleaf

Recently, I was looking for a nearby LBC branch and I found one really close to my place.  I also discovered a new tea place has opened at Ridges Mabolo. Beanleaf is another new player in Cebu Milk Tea market.  I decided to check it out because my wife really love to drink Milk tea.


I actually heard about this new tea place while listening to one of my favorite radio stations during my daily drive. One of the things that somehow that set them apart is that Beanleaf offers more food options than typical milk tea places.  I have been to many milk tea places and I usually end up having a sore tummy or sugar high because most cafes do not offer any hot food for lunch or snacks.  At Beanleaf, it will not be the case because they offer a good variety of hot food items.

Beanleaf has a decent Wifi connection and I see many students and working people staying here to study or to do work.  I even saw some people conducting a small meeting. The place is not noisy and there is ample parking space outside but it is shared by several establishments. 

I ordered 2 milk teas for take out and it came in a very handy holder. The holder makes it so easy for transport. It is so hard when you are alone and some restaurants and drive throughs just put the drink cups on a plastic bag. I really appreciate that this cafe helps me avoid spilling drinks in my passenger seat. 

My wife and I enjoyed our drinks when I got home.  A few days later, I went back to the place to work on some articles.


The wifi connection was quiet good as I was able to finish several blog posts. I love the Citrus with Malunggay Fruit Tea.  It surprisingly yummy as I thought it would be a bit bitter because of the malunggay.  I was not able to try any of their hot items as I had lunch already.  I am quite curios with their sausages.  I would probably get some the next time I visit their Ridges Branch.

Beanleaf has 2 shops in Cebu.  The one I went to is the Ridges Mabolo Branch in F. Cabahug Street.  Their other Cebu coffee shop is in Skyrise 3 at the Asiatown I.T. Park. Bean leaf has several franchisees in Metro Manila and Luzon.

Rediscovering Comfort and Resilience: Itchoy Batchoyan Reopens with Hope

When news broke that Itchoy Batchoyan had reopened its doors, my heart did a little dance of joy. The unassuming eatery nestled in the heart of Cebu City had become a cherished haven for many, offering more than just food; it provided comfort, solace, and a sense of community during the tough times of the pandemic and beyond. In a city known for its bustling food scene, Itchoy Batchoyan still found a way to stand out. During the pandemic, I never stopped exploring and looking for the best local eats.  One of my most exciting discoveries was this unassuming Batchoyan and Paresan. I remember the first time I walked through its doors, drawn in by the aroma of familiar Filipino comfort foods. Batchoy,  beef pares, Sisig, Crispy Kare-Kare, and Lechon Kawali were just a few of the fantastic creations that awaited those lucky enough to discover this culinary haven.  The eatery back then had a "dirty kitchen" were you can watch how the delicious food are made. The man behind this hid

In the past year, there have been several restaurants in Cebu that wants to claim "The Best Wings Place in Cebu" title.  The introduction of several chicken wing places cannot outpace the demand for delicious and spicy chicken wings. It is definitely a booming segment as many  Cebuanos flock to their favorite wing place.  Recently, I had a "wing night" with my wife and we restaurant-hopped in two of the best chicken wing places in Cebu. First, we visited the newly opened Bad Boys Wingz right across Bright Academy in Talamban. This wing place used to be a small, but very popular food stall at the BTC and because of the high demand of chicken wings, the owners opened a stand-alone restaurant. I would say it was an excellent decision because they really serve one of the best chicken wings in Cebu.
