BEST OF 2014

Last year, I’ve chosen the spots that are worthy of the attention and deserves the title for the best of the best in the Queen City of the South. I’ve considered the restaurants, coffee houses, pizza houses and many others that I’ve been, blogged and rated this year and there are quite plenty to choose from.

We’ve found ourselves battling over some of the categories because there are a lot of spots that are really deserving.

So, below, the categories and then the best of this year as well as last year, and let’s start first with the specials.

SPECIAL – FUN PLACE: PIZZA REPUBLIC

Last Year: Trick Art Cebu

I was in the battle to which where I could place Pizza Republic because I really find this spot to be a crowd pleaser. It’s also jam packed with customers almost every day, and their offers are really good.

From personally choosing your own style of pizza, to their friendly staff and finally in their really cool place; I could say this spot deserves to be noticed by everyone in town.

SPECIAL – THE JUNCTION: LA VIE PARISIENNE

Last Year: La Vie Parisienne

This for me is a winner, and as you can see, it’s already for two consecutive years. It never cease to surprise people with their place upgrades, and I always loved the fact that they try so hard to make the place a nostalgia of Paris, and it’s really that good. Their purple lighted trees to their humungous domes; it will always be one of the best.

SPECIAL – HOT BOITE: CIRCA 1900

Last Year: Lantaw sa Busay

Probably the sassiest, sexiest and classiest restaurant I’ve been to. Socialites from all over Cebu emerges through its doors and be served with high end offers.

BEST COFFEE/TEA HOUSE: COFFEE PRINCE

Last Year: Café Noriter

Actually, Coffee Prince and Café Tiala had a fair fight with this category because Café Tiala has this very cute and unique ambiance, away from the typical Korean coffee houses in town plus their offers are good as well, while Coffee Prince has really, really good offers and service as well.

But then, it all boils down to which is the best, and for me, Coffee Prince tops everything because they have unique food offers that others don’t have and it’s a surprise for me being tired of the same old, same offers from other Korean coffee houses.

BEST RESTAURANT: CAFÉ GEORG

Last Year: Kuya J

Finally, the best restaurant for me is Café Georg. Why? Although it’s been for some time already, but their food, service and place still makes me fall in love. You have to give it a try.

A ROYAL CAFÉ | COFFEE PRINCE CAFÉ [PHOTOS]

 

 

–    ★★★★★

I can’t believe there have been totally new and good café’s popping up in the entire Southside nowadays! And the number isn’t stopping anytime sooner. And with this, comes the battle on which who will win with the award for the Best Instagrammed café.

And one café that catches my partner and I’s attention is the café we saw in Foursquare and it’s called Coffee Prince.

Located at Osmena Blvd. just across Cebu Doctor’s Hospital and just strictly beside Suarez; Coffee Prince is an old house turned café that’s definitely popping with colors on the façade that has a welcoming feel inside.

THE INTERIOR

The place is huge. I mean, I love how spacious the inside was. It has a high ceiling which is really good for claustrophobics like me. And it is unlike any other café’s which are so tiny that you’ll be afraid to even move because you’ll crash everything around you.

I love the feeling that we can freely move around: sit or lie, without the fear of damaging stuff.

THE OFFERS

With no halls barred, their offers are the best. They have different food and drinks offers that are so good for your taste buds. They have been famous for this Luther Burger that incorporates flavor overload.

Luther Burger has burger (of course) with bacon and some leafy vegetables on the side dish, but what makes it a superstar is the Original Glazed Krispy Kreme with it. I got so excited when I read some comments on Foursquare about how they included KK since I am a fan of the Original Glazed and I always eat it with the main course at home. Because I just love how the balance of sweet and salty are mixed on my dish. It’s really heavenly, and you should try it out yourself!

Also try their Bulgogi Panini that gives you a hint of the Middle East dish, it taste so good too!

For their drinks, I recommend the Java Chip Frap (I did it without caffeine), and it taste sooooo good you want some more.

For their tea, try their Green Tea Latte that doesn’t just give you good taste, but also gives you the health benefit for your body.

THE SERVICE

To be honest, Coffee Prince and Café Tiala have the best service, but you’ll feel that the crew in Coffee Prince has much professional experience when it comes to customer service. They know how to cater you with your needs as well as the right responses for questions or appraisals.

For recreation, they sell colorful locks and a pallet which you can write your promises or messages and lock it on a huge heart shaped fence located inside and outside the shop. Similar to the locks in Paris, which is very unique for a coffee house too.

Overall, Coffee Prince has the highest standards when it comes to fancy coffee houses in Cebu and the one to beat. A definite no brainer five star.
