vanille cafe and patisserie, ayala center, cebu city

after eating lechon the next i did here in cebu was have coffee in a local coffee shop...yes, they have starbucks, seattles's best,bo's coffee, etc. but i wanted to try something not available in manila so i tried vanille cafe and patisserie at ayala center...i sampled their cafe americano...yes, i know....it's just brewed coffee....but, hey, that's what i like so that's what i got....i had one in a big mug....let me say that again....BIG mug....its nothing different from all the cafe americanos that i've tried....what do you expect from a very basic cup of coffee....but i like the ambiance of the coffee shop...

this was taken inside the shop...we sat in one of those tables outside...can you see the real trees?

my companion and i stayed at one of the tables outside to feel the fresh air....unlike in metro manila the air at the ayala center smelled fresh....the view was great also....you'll see greens that didn't look like plastic plants....the only thing that i didn't like was the umbrella....it was green....almost the same as the one they use at all starbucks outlets.....it would have been nicer if they used something different....say a purple umbrella?....why purple?....their chairs inside are purple.....weird?....no....they were nice to look at....

nice chairs

they also served cakes....but we didn't order any...we were full.....we ate lechon cebu, right?....

yummy looking cakes

the place was clean.....and the cr was also nice although it was a small.....

inside the cr

that coffee experience was great.....a good 'first' activity in cebu...well, it was second....but i consider the lunch as required so i don't want to consider it as a first activity....do i make sense....no?....oh, well.....but i must say,if you are a coffee lover and you happen to be here in cebu, try vanille cafe and patisserie.....
