Wellnessland Vegetarian Cafe and Health Food Store — Restaurant in Cebu City

We came to this place after our first two choices were closed. The café is part of the much bigger health institute.

The staff were friendly, especially the cook. The dining area is surrounded by other products on sale, so it’s not your typical cosy café type.

We ordered the siomai (very filling compared to the non-vegetarian kind), the spring rolls (tasted amazing), the dumplings (great) and the tofu adobo (underwhelming as it didn’t taste like adobo—I didn’t taste the laurel leaf which defines the adobo we know). But the star of the show was the vinegar dip for the dumplings and spring rolls. It was amazing! Too bad I didn’t get to take a photo. It was a mix of vinegar and other tasty leaf (tamarind?). They also have self-serve coffee, and we got to try the corn coffee, which was great to have after a big meal.

Salads looked dead and generic. All rather ironic for a wellness place. The store is cool though. Some very interesting products like edemame pasta. Customer service awful. Staff didn't embody any of the healthy living and good energy the...
