The Civet Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Cebu City

Found this coffee shop while driving around late Sunday afternoon in IT Park. I remembered about all the hustle and bustle in fb when this shop opened. So, we decided to try this shop.

This is the first coffee shop I've visited in my life to be greeted by around 10 servers before ordering. And it also have quite alot of beverages to offer. From coffee to juices.

I got the civet coffee since I guessed it was their most famous (and expensive) coffee. Upon finishing our order, you can go to the brewing station to the right to see your coffee being brewed before serving.

When my coffee was served, it was served with an ice cold glass of water. I was told to drink the water before drinking the coffee to cleanse my palate.

Coffee was okay. I guess I expected alot of flavour notes from it. But mostly I only got a slight hint of nuttiness. Although the coffee was really balanced and absent of the high acidity found in most Asian sourced coffee beans.

Overall, this shop is so-so. Service was alright. Coffee was okay. A cup of the civet coffee would set you back 590 pesos. As with every coffee shops in IT Park, it was packed with people buried in books, laptops, cellphones and iPads and we chose to sit outside. Good thing it wasn't too hot or...

One of those places they hate their customers and their job. Visited at 10am 27th of May 2022. Coffee is fine. The male server has a terrible attitude when he receives your order, he basically barks at you . My wife commented she thought he may have had too much coffee lol. Later I ordered a second coffee, and when it was ready, he decided to start yelling across the room we were having a conversation and he was doing his best to interrupt, he probably yelled about around 5-8 times that it was ready instead of walking about 4 meters to our table with one little cup of espresso. I actually didn't catch in to what was happening until he was so annoying I had to address him . He told me it was self service and wouldn't bring it. (even though the store was not busy at all about 4 customers and already served and sitting) unbelievably he then walked to the table next to ours to clean it. Simply a ridiculous person. It looks like a lot of effort has been put into the business, but I would...

This has been my go-to place whenever I need to study for an upcoming exam or have a quick academic consultation with my research group. However, I now have to bid goodbye to this place because it has become unsanitary for various reasons. The restroom is constantly clogged, and one time I had to go out to find a public restroom because theirs was extremely pungent, with a pile of tissues scattered on the floor. The random roaches on the cafe's floor are becoming alarming. Every time I go there, I inevitably see at least one roach scurrying across the floor, like it's having a shopping spree. While I can still appreciate the quality of their coffee and pastries, neglecting proper sanitary practices is something I cannot overlook in a coffee shop. Cleanliness is a bare minimum requirement and I can't decipher why it's hard to fix this kind of issue in the...
