I've heard many great things about the Bohol Bee farm so I had to try it when I saw it at Moadto Mall.
Service started out lackluster but definitely improved at the end of the meal.
Based on all the hype, I was expecting more. I ordered the honey glazed chicken. The plate presentation was beautiful. I wasn't expecting that type of presentation from this type of restaurant. My general rule of thumb is if the presentation is good that usually means the food isn't great because they're trying to distract you. I hope that wasn't the case here. Unfortunately it was.
The chicken was on the dry side and also very bland. Thankfully there was hot sauce available because it was definitely needed. The purple rice looked "old" like it was sitting there for a while. There were also some hard pieces of rice because it dried out probably from sitting there for a while.
The best part was the homemade ice cream. You have to try the melon flavor ! It's delicious and almost made me forget about the dry chicken and hard rice. Almost.
They charge a 10% service fee.
I'm not sure if this was just an off day but I really wanted to like this restaurant. I might give it a second try before writing it off. But based on my first visit, I do not recommend this restaurant.

Read morePrepare yourselves, dessert lovers, because I have found the Holy Grail of frozen delights, and it resides at The Buzzz Cafe by Bohol Bee Farm! I cannot overstate this: their Coconut Ice Cream is not just good, it's a culinary revelation that has fundamentally changed my perception of dessert.
Forget everything you think you know about ice cream, dairy or non-dairy. This is a league of its own. It's so impossibly creamy, so perfectly sweet without being cloying, and bursting with the pure, unadulterated essence of fresh coconut. Each spoonful is a little piece of paradise melting on your tongue.
I went in expecting a nice non-dairy option, but what I received was a transcendent experience that puts every dairy ice cream I've ever had to shame. This isn't just the best non-dairy dessert I've ever tasted; it's quite possibly the BEST DESSERT, period, I will ever experience in my entire life.
If you go to Bohol and do not try this coconut ice cream, you are missing out on one of life's true, blissful pleasures. It's a reason to visit Bohol all on its own. Absolutely sensational. A masterpiece. 5,000 stars if I...
Read moreWow! What a great cafe on the beach!
Buzzz buzzz Cafe is upstairs, which allows for beautiful ocean views. Saw a lot of selfies being taken here.
Downstairs is a shop selling many beauty/health products, snacks and baked goodies. I wanted to buy everything! Beeswax chapstick, great variety of honeys, cassava chips, homemade ice creams, hot sauces, and so many beauty care products!
Baked goods are very tasty. Freshly baked Carrot and squash muffins and different types of breads. I ordered 2 carrot muffins (beware, they have peanuts on top) from downstairs.
Then I made my way upstairs and ordered a corn coffee (Kapi Mais). Was very interesting and tasty. Came in teabag style packaging and brewed with cold water.
I put the coffee trabags in my thermos filled with water and had more corn coffee later the same day.
I highly recommend this place, even if you just come for the views and homemade ice creams (very popular!)
They have a full menu but not many...
