CoffeeCat first opened its doors in Torres Street, Davao City’s food street which is now a bustling hub of restaurants and nightlife spots, on May 8, 2009. Just a little over a year after their debut, CoffeeCat marks another milestone with the opening of their second branch, this time outside of Davao, at Asiatown IT Park’s newest tower, the eBloc.
With its passion for coffee and excellence, CoffeeCat promises to further enrich the highly developed coffee culture scene in this city already spoiled with choices which begs the question: Will CoffeeCat make it big in Cebu? Will CoffeeCat have a place in the Cebuanos’ highly discriminative taste? Read on.
What’s in a name: CoffeeCat…? The name ‘Coffeecat’ is the product of an intriguing play of words coupled with a serendipitous association to a cat-sized mammal called a civet cat, which has a close affinity towards coffee berries.
“The concept for CoffeeCat was born out of a dream of creating a new type of meeting place –one that mixes modern, industrial, and minimalist elements yet retains a warm and cozy ambiance for good conversations, great beverages and delectable dishes.”, says JC Tan, President and General Manager of CoffeeCat. “This is a meeting place that recognizes the Filipinos’ cultural tradition of taking a break from daily workday life and relaxing in the company of others. These, combined with the Italian coffee culture and influence of the North American pastry tradition all came together in the vision of Coffeecat.”, he adds.
Mr. Tan is very young at 24 years old so it’s not astonishing that the coffee shop is dynamic, complex, sophisticated, yet simple, a reflection of today’s youth.

CoffeeCat Cebu is 90 square meters of stylish and chic space which can accommodate a total of 60 guests with its indoor and outdoor seating combined. The café specializes in expertly handcrafted beverages made from premium coffee blend illy®, a careful balance of 9 types of pure Arabica beans from South and Central America, India and Africa which creates the unmistakable illy flavor always identical in any espresso cup, wherever it is drunk around the world; non-coffee drinks like Avalanche™ Ice Blends and its signature product – Yogo™ Premium Frozen Yogurt in Original or Green Tea Flavors.

REVIEW: During the opening last Friday, July 16, 2010, I only got to taste YOGO, their very own frozen yogurt. I got the medium size with 2 toppings: strawberry and mini Oreos. Verdict: I LOVE. At least for me, the right blend of sweetness-sourness and creaminess is just perfect. Meanwhile, I wasn’t able to taste their coffee products but I visited the shop again last Sunday to taste the Vanilla Avalanche. Most of the time, I always order the Vanilla Frap when I’m in any coffee shop so I had to try CoffeeCat’s own version of the drink. I was very well satisfied. It’s actually a notch higher when compared to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s Vanilla Frap Drink plus the whipped cream was really creamy and had volume. It has this “melt in your mouth” feel.

YOGO is available in small, medium, large and pint sizes. There are 3 types of toppings available: FRUIT (mango, banana, pineapple, blueberry, strawberry, kiwi fruit, mandarin orange, peach red ruby cherry, grape), DRY (Mochi, Special K, Meuslix, Butterfinger, Reese’s, Fudge Brownie, M&M Minis, Oreo Cookie, Desiccated Coconut, Granola, Crushed Graham, Sliced Almond), LIQUID (organic honey, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce).
