Cardinal Coffea: How I Miss!!βπ€
The minimalist and clean (crisp) interior of the coffeehouse was what drew me in. I remember my friend Sarah and I were walking around Capitol after a long day of job hunting. It was humid around 3 in the afternoon and we both wanted to grab icecold lemonade and chill in a cafΓ©. πΉ
We were supposed to go to Bo's Capitol but when we passed by Cardinal Coffea - with its nice-looking interior on full display what with the glass walls - I wanted to check it out. π€
I was so glad we did because from then on it was where the gang would hang out. Their iced lemonade was just 90 PHP and their coffees of good quality were around 150 PHP. What I loved the most was their pastries! π₯
Did you know that they are famous in Cebu for their breads, cakes, and pastries? Yep they sure are. Their bestsellers are the "infamously" delicious yema buns! They are REALLY GOOD at such affordable price! π°
As you can see in these photos the interior is LEGIT, right? I love the colour palette and the design. That is why when the pandemic hit I was so sad to see that they only open for take out - and even until now. There is no "dine-in" option anymore. π I really hope they would open soon, especially that the classes are almost going to open this end of August - I REALLY HOPE SO!! π

Hello @jongcl
The design is Minimalist indeed!
What is the Yema Bun made of?
I passed by that building many times, but I never entered. I've visited Bo's Cafe in Capitol many times though.
Hi @millycf1976 π
the yema bun is a sweet soft bun filled with gooey custard made of condensed milk, eggs and vanilla - below is a photo
OK! I had no idea. I'm happy I asked you.
Thanks for this explanation and for the photo as well.
Very useful:)))
No worries, my pleasure π
This yema bun tastes SO GOOD, perfect to pair with a black coffee since the filling is sweet the bitter taste would then complement π
If there's any yema bun close to you I suggest you try! βΊοΈπ€π€© @millycf1976

Looks like a nice Cafe but why is the menu a Starbucks menu?
that's my Starbucks journal @leaky20 π sorry for the misleading photoπ
Oh that makes sense haha. I missed that part. Cool cool
