I have seen a lot of coffee shops sprouting like mushrooms here in Cebu, probably the fast lifestyle in our society wherein people just want to have a quick refreshing drink that led to the popularity of coffee shops. Since many are inclined to coffee especially when you want to have a quiet time for yourself and just indulge every sip from you cup coffee or meetup meet friends and just chat about every story and any topic they bring. The ambiance of a coffee shop is really important where you could just escape the outside world with all the work from the office, traffic, noise, etc and have a serene moment with your self and enjoy that moment.
There is a new Coffee Shop in town, the Tea and Symphony, located in Banilad(G/F UC building across Gaisano Country Mall). A good location with enough parking space for everyone just in front of the coffee shop[. You cannot missed it as you passed by through the Gov. Cuenco Avenue road (you can see the Banilad UC building). The place is your very typical coffee shop with a large space, comfortable seats, minimalistic theme with few picture frames and figurines. The place is quite comfortable really with a nice set variety in their menu and drinks. Most of all (the important thing to us bloggers and other online junkies) is that they have free WiFi (provided that you order something.
I managed to took a sip into their best seller specialty drink , the “Tea & Symphony” milk tea, the sweetness level I have chosen is mild which contains only very few sugar/sweets. On top of that is topping which blends properly with the flavor. Also tasted their snacks or their Taiwanese street Foods like chicken and fish with Wasabi and salt n’ pepper flavors respectively. I really like the fish snack with wasabi flavor which complements the milk tea. The great thing about their product is that you can choose the sweetness level for any drinks you choose, from 25% mild to half 50% to 75% less and 100% for normal sweetness, which is really good especially for those who are health conscious and wants to control their sugar intake.
Overall it was a good tea-experience and really a health-tea option for those who want to get more out of their freshly brewed tea experience. I recommend this to everyone who wants to have a refreshing and healthy drink at the same time.
