While you’re busy trying out various things to do in Cebu, you might want to stop by Bo’s Coffee for a short break. There are 16 branches of Bo’s Coffee in Cebu. You’ll find them in malls, hotels, and business centers. Bo’s “Sagada Pour Over” simply makes this place one of the best coffee shops in Cebu.
If you like a cold coffee drink, you’ll enjoy their iced mocha too. And should you go hungry, order a carbonara. It tastes really good.
Bo’s can get pretty crowded in malls especially during the weekend. If you want to avoid the crowd, visit the Raintree Mall branch. The place is quiet and peaceful even on the weekend.

They’re newly opened and used to be Coffee Prince. The cafe is spacious enough to fit a group of about 50 people. And they have a big smoking area outside the cafe.
You’ll find some bookshelves at APlus with only a few books. Try their Orange Monster drink; it’s quite good. But food is a little pricey here.

4. Degree 9 Coffee
Editor’s note: Establishment is permanently closed
I like Degree 9’s interior and their baked macaroni is really good. It only costs about 1 USD. The mint chocolate frappuccino is also a winner. The coffee shop’s WiFi connection is not that strong though; not really recommended for people who visit coffee shops to work remotely.

Starbucks is one of the most popular coffee shops in Cebu. There’s a Starbucks on almost every corner. Most people visit this cafe, so it can get pretty crowded and noisy especially on weekends. If you really need your Starbucks drink, visit them during the weekdays when there aren’t too many people.

Posted by Crate Cafe on Friday, October 22, 2021
“A coffee shop with a view,” Crate Cafe is located up in the mountains. If you don’t own a car, pay a bicycle driver 1 USD to take you to Crate Cafe and another 1 USD to take you back to the city. This coffee shop in Busay, Cebu is really small, and they only have a few tables outside.
But the view is really beautiful. You can get a good view of the city from this cafe. They don’t accept reservations, so if you want the place for yourself, visit them early in the day. Otherwise, you won’t get a table for yourself. As I’ve said, they only have a few tables here.
