8AM/Monday - cool AC Neat even the restroom Staff - great Price not updated per their FB page! P145 and when i got there it's already P175 (set). Puto Maya -- ours in Mindanao (tastes better+ dry) is ????. Sikwati Mango - yum! Tres Tablea Cake is fine (coarse texture for me). The dining area is decent.

I love how friendly and nice the staff are. It's one of the things I look for an establishment especially in the industry that we are in. It's always a plus to have people who are good with customers aside from being good at what they do. I don't frequently go to Tablea because when I crave for their specialties, there's FoodPanda for that but still, the chocolates and their cakes are so good. The Cafe's worth a visit every once in a while.

Tried the famous Puto Maya Set. The tablea was so delicious! Should have ordered their additional tablea drink since I poured it in the mango and sticky rice. Definitely a must try when visiting Cebu City

The silvanas were good- sweet but not too sweet. The tablea-based black chocolate latte was good as well, you can really taste the tablea. Their restroom was small but clean and the staff was nice.

I wasn't expecting much since we ordered takeout, but the puto maya set definitely filled us up! It was still so delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Cebu.

This place serves the best puto maya and sikwate!!! I always make it a point to visit every time I'm in Cebu. I also love their fruitballs and the cacao crunchy beans.

This is a small but with a nice coffee shop, with great atmosphere. I really like the seating, and the staff was very friendly. I had the "Choco Frio" a frozen hot cacao drink, which was absolutely delicious! My girlfriend had the "Puto Maya Set", which is sticky rice, mango fruit, and a hot pure chocolate drink, she says it was delicious! We went back again before we left Cebu. We'll be back when we go back to Cebu.
