10,000 Roses Cafe More - Cordova

THIS PLACE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. A must-visit when you travel to Cebu. Just be patient to have your turn to take a picture with the led roses lol. I ordered Caramel Latte and it tastes awesome!

The lovely and haunting 10,000 roses cafe should definitely make it to your Cebu itinerary. This cafe is pretty near the famous Lantaw restaurant in Cordova. It has become a tourist hot spot because of the pretty white LED roses that flank the walkway leading up to the cafe. A spin off from a South Korean cafe, I still thought it was very much worth a visit. I found it lovely as the white roses gave off an eerie glow, being reflected on the water. I don't know if it would still have the same grandeur in the morning, but it is a sight to behold at night. Like thousands of fireflies swaying in the wind. The cafe itself was pretty simple with indoor and outdoor seating available. I liked the mix of cement walls and wooden tables, very hipster. We both preferred to sit inside due to the humidity that night. Their food was alright... Then again my husband and I only shared an order of fries, which came in a huge serving. I had the iced caramel macchiato and he had a beer. The macchiato was okay. No non fat or soy milk options. Prices were fair, IMO. Despite the many, many people who are taking pictures or videos outside, about 80% of them don't even go inside the cafe. The cafe remained quiet and comfortable, despite the crowd outside. People apparently flocked to the area for the photo op. FYI: Recently, the local government started charging an environmental fee of P20 as you enter the cafe premises. I wonder why though, since people were only taking pictures near the wharf. I also found out that none of the proceeds go to the cafe/owners. Hay, I don't even want to say what I'm thinking out loud. So this place really draws a crowd, but don't worry about not finding a place to sit.

5 for the great view and ambiance, better to go there at night where you can view the scenery in city lights as well as the 10k roses light. The location of the restaurant was good especially the sea view but if you are not from lapu-lapu you wouldn't know where to go, unless you use waze or just google map. I did try their food but true to what the rumors I heard it wasn't that great nor a reasonable price, that is 3.5 stars for the food. I just came for the view. I was lucky to be able to park near the cafe and not walk 100+meters ahead nor ride thier small shuttle. Overall it was a fun experience, I honestly went there only for the view and not for the food.

Honestly there was too much people even till today and I can say the best part was not the roses but the cafe where you can just sit by the shore and enjoy the view of the city lights and body of water that is so peaceful. I love the fries and drinks and their romantic vibe to there place. Other than that sure I'd like to come back.

10,000 Roses to see but there are more than 10,000 reasons to be happy and apparently, this view made me! This Dongdaenum Design Plaza inspired is owned by Miguel Cho (an interior designer) in South Korea. Cebu's Summer thats filled w mesmerizing waterfalls and white-sand beaches, this one is the new fame in Lapu-lapu City. The setting is very romantic, aside from the fact that alot of people ambushed the place that made it annoyingly crowdy. But that din't stop me from taking my best shots. Haha (para-paraan lang. Lol) The small coffee shop surrounded by the artificial LED Flowers planted on the grounds made the coffee shop more fascinating. Korea-feels indeed! When I went there, only few coffee types were displayed as it was just opened. No desserts and whatsoever, and we waited for like 20mins before we can occupy the seats. As I said, with those crowd that filled the place, surely they always ran out of seats and tables. Nevertheless, the coffee was good. Was able to sit comftably and I liked the whole-bod mirror beside the restroom (ang ganda ko dun Pramis! Hahaha) Day-as Cordova, Lapu-lapu City (Beside Lantaw Restaurant)
