Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette: Cebu’s Sweet Secret in Tisa 🍩


When it comes to Cebu’s food scene, we’ve always been spoiled with classics like lechon, ngohiong, and sutukil. But if you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s a rising star in town that deserves a spot on your must-try list—Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette in Tisa.

I first learned about this humble doughnut shop through social media, and what really caught my attention was when a local award-giving body recognized them for having the best doughnuts in Cebu. That kind of praise isn’t something you hear every day, so naturally, my curiosity was piqued.

A Sweet Sunday Discovery

One Sunday, I decided to make the drive to their shop located at Cabarrubias St., San Jose Village, Tisa, Cebu City(nearest landmark: House of Fruitas). Kat & Perry’s opens at 12 noon, and believe it or not, I was Customer No. 1 for the day. The anticipation felt like lining up for fresh bread in the morning—but this time, it was for doughnuts.

I ordered a box of six assorted flavors, and they handed me a beautiful selection: Red Velvet, Tiramisu, Toasted Almonds, Ube, Triple Cho-la, and Caramel Dulce. The only one I managed to eat was the Tiramisu (my family made quick work of the rest 😅), but that one bite was enough to understand why so many people rave about this place.

Soft, fluffy, and just the right balance of sweetness, Kat & Perry’s doughnuts aren’t your ordinary merienda treat. They’re indulgent but still approachable—perfect with coffee, milk tea, or even on their own.



Why Kat & Perry’s Stands Out

Here’s why I think Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette has captured the hearts of Cebuanos:

✅ Unique Flavors – They constantly rotate and experiment, so you never run out of options. From classic favorites to creative twists, there’s something for everyone.
✅ Award-Winning Reputation – Not just hype—this recognition from a local food award proves their craft.
✅ Community Love – Kat & Perry’s is a homegrown Cebu brand, proudly representing local talent in baking and flavors.
✅ Accessibility – The shop may be tucked in Tisa, but it’s easy to locate, and they’re also available on GrabFood for when cravings hit.

More Than Just Doughnuts

While the doughnuts are the main draw, Kat & Perry’s also offers cakes and other pastry selections. For those who love exploring Cebu’s café and dessert scene, this spot adds a unique charm—simple, heartfelt, and always satisfying.

Why You Should Visit

For tourists planning a Cebu trip, Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette is one of those new local gems worth discovering. It’s a taste of how Cebu’s culinary scene isn’t just about the savory—we also do sweets really, really well.

For locals who’ve never heard of them, consider this your sign. If you’ve ever lined up for lechon or driven across town for a good batch of siomai, why not do the same for award-winning doughnuts? Trust me, it’s worth it.

Final Bite

Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette is more than just a doughnut shop—it’s a testament to Cebuano creativity, quality, and passion for food. I can’t wait to return to try the rest of their flavors (and maybe guard my box better from the family next time 😅).

Pungko Pungko - Cebuano Foodie Must-try

Image
You cannot say you are a Cebuano foodie until you partake and enjoy the offerings of your local Pungko-Pungko stall. Pungko means squat in the Cebuano language.  The Pungko-Pungko name was attached to vendors who walk to sell food and when they find interested eaters they usually look for a clean corner and squat or "pungko" to eat.  Now, most Pungko-Pungko suki do not need to look for their favorite vendor because there are now in many places in the city that are known for this type of "cuisine".  The popular hotspots for pungko-pungko are the stalls in the Fuente area at the back of Sampaguita Suites, Redemptorist Church Area near Foodarama, and Cebu Doctor's University area beside McDonald's.

Enjoying Cheeseburger and Milkshake at Cafe Racer

Image
It's another day in the 2015  Sinulog  week and to avoid the traffic, I went to the North Reclamation Area and then I saw this diner.  I decided to check it out and maybe have some decent snack.   I did not expect much of this place.  The outside looks like an refurbished abandoned gasoline station and there is a car wash for people who wants to have their car cleaned while enjoying some good food. When I got inside of the main diner, I was blown away. There are so many Instagram worthy areas in Cafe Racer Diner.  And it starts with the cashier's area. VW Van inside Cafe Racer!?

Special Lunch at Carlos Special Ngohiong

Image
Because of social media sites like Instagram or Facebook and the affordability of camera phones, a lot of Cebuanos are fast becoming social media foodies. Hashtags like #foodporn and #happytummy has become one of top hashtags in Instagram and Twitter. Another food requirement I think to make a Cebuano or Cebuana a certified foodie aside from pungko-pungko is to have a favorite ngohiong place. Ngohiong is Cebu's answer to spring rolls. It is a cheap food item that is a big hit to true blue Cebuanos. I asked a few of my friends about their favourite places to eat ngohiong.  The answer is not really unanimous but a couple answered Carlos Ngohiong. Some also said Doming's in Guadalupe , Atik's in Mabolo, and Chinese Ngohiong near USC Main.  One time I ended up in Mambaling with a friend and I told her that I want to have ngohiong lunch at Carlos Special Ngohiong.  It has been quite a while since I went there.  I almost got lost but thanks to a friendly trisikad ...

Stilt Restaurants off the coast of Olango Island

Image
Off the coast of Olango Island, there are several stilt restaurants that offer fresh seafoods for lunch.  Although a bit expensive, these restaurants offer a different kind of dining experience. You can reach these unique restaurants via banca and it is a great stopover while having an island hopping adventure in Cebu. At the stilt restaurant, you can pick your desired seafood from several choices. They have shells, fish, squid, shrimps, lobsters, and other edible seafoods.  One you made your choices they are going to weigh it and then ask you how you want it cooked. You can have it grilled, fried, sautéed, or made into a delicious soup. Stilt restaurants is another reason why it is more fun eating in Cebu. posted from Bloggeroid Related articles New Restaurant: Cafe Racer Diner Ginza Shabu Shabu And Seafood Buffet Launch Greek Fisherman Favorite Pinoy Dishes at AA Barbecue Newly Opened Restaurant: Burger King F.

Favorite Pinoy Dishes at AA Barbecue

Image
Ever since I discovered AA Barbecue, it has always been a favorite place to have lunch or dinner.    It is one of the restaurants or eateries where I can eat and enjoy any of their dishes. It is actually hard to pick a favorite here.  In some days, I just order some grilled pork belly, ngohiong and punaw soup.  In other days I could eat Saang, hot and chrispy squid, and chopsuey. The possibilities are just endless.
