I dropped by Bluegré Coffee in Davao City today to try their Durian Caffeccino. I was curious about how it would taste, but unfortunately, the experience was a mixed bag.
The service started off fine—I was greeted politely—but things went downhill when I saw the guy behind the counter picking his nose. That’s an instant red flag when you’re about to order food or drinks.
The café itself was clean, and the atmosphere was nice. However, I was disappointed that both the upstairs area and additional seating were closed. It felt like there was limited space to sit and relax. Although sitting outside in a storm was a chilling experience for me at least.
Now, about the Durian Caffeccino—I wasn’t impressed. I’d rate it 3 out of 10. For ₱235 (grande), I expected something better. If you love durian, you might enjoy its strong and unique taste, but for me, it didn’t work. The flavour was overwhelming in a way that didn’t blend well with the coffee.

Read moreFirst impression I got by coming to this coffee shop was not so good at all. It didn't feel like a very accomodating place like starbucks,I asked one of their staff about their schedule, but dedma as if he did not hear me at all.

And I do love their durian coffeeccino but the downside is their terrible service which our order was not prioritized it took a while for my husband and I to wait our order and the other customer that came in later than us at the coffee shop got theirs first. Also they did not put a sign that the top floor is only for wine, so we have to feel like being kicked out. It wasn't nice at all and definitely not very accomodating too. I'd rather go more often to starbucks for their great service. It will make you feel...
Read morePlace is cozy, and chill. It was afternoon and hot when we got there good thing their AC is working smoothly. I just wish the place has more “light” cos some parts are a bit dark. Free parking too! Hurray!
Durian Coffeeccino is a hot drink, it has strong coffee taste and with a hint of durian aroma. Surprisinly it has Durian pieces inside! What a treat. Same goes with their Durian Arctic Blast which is a cold/iced version of the Durian Coffeecino. Big surprise is the Durian Bar. Tastes like cheesecake with a hint of durian flavor. We really enjoyed this one.
No wonder this cafe has been in biz since 1998! A...
