First Impression
Located in the first floor of Gaisano Country Mall, I thought that the whole cafe would be teeming with people. I was lucky enough to go in at downtime when barely anyone was around. By the time I stepped inside, I immediately thought that the whole cafe looked really fancy. It had that vintage feel to it but then it was also mixed with a cute/kawaii theme.
I especially loved how this cafe was a cubicle type because it really felt like we actually had some privacy. The small tables and comfort foams looked clean and sturdy and a few stuff toys lay here and there as well which made the whole place seem quite comfortable. I was able to enjoy my drink peacefully since I stayed at the second floor (because no one else was around) and spent the whole time seated on a cushion.
From the entrance, you'll directly see the cashier on the left side so you can quickly place your order. The counter was surprisingly well decorated and it was obvious that they had a specific theme. The architecture was brilliant as well since they had beautifully arched windows, porch grills and many interesting designs. Not to mention that the staff was really nice too.
Their menu consisted smoothies, shakes and food dishes. I wasn't easily able to decide on which dish I was going to have since they all looked very appetizing and palatable. The food here might be a little too pricey but I can guarantee that all the money that you spent will be worth it. In the end, I was able to order a salad and a marshmallow shake. I enjoyed every bit of it!~
Look & Feel
The place was quite narrow since both sides were occupied with private cubicles from top to bottom leaving only a tight hallway in the center leading all the way to the opposite end of the room. I can say that it was the first time I've seen a unique layout in a cafe here in Cebu that has efficiently budgeted limited space to accommodate more customers.
I couldn't help but think of France when I came in the cafe because the surroundings really did have that romantic setting just like what you see in movies and magazines. The place might looked cramped but I can assure you that it is well-ventilated because you can find numerous small exhaust fans hidden around in almost every corner of each cubicle.
This cafe is small and cozy, but their cubicles are even smaller. One cubicle can at least fit 3-4 persons without it getting all restricted. Let me remind you to always watch your head whenever you visit this cafe because you will surely be crouching a lot. If you plan before going to this cafe, then I suggest you wear footwear that is easy to remove because you have to take them off.
Staff
I was incredibly happy with the staff because the baristas and waitresses had smiles on their faces and they were accommodating and really friendly. Also, there isn't a need for you to ask them for the wifi password anymore because its actually already posted on their front door. I've got to say I was secretly happy.
Introvert's Corner
By far, one of the most introvert friendly cafes I've been in so far. Every cubicle can basically turn into your own personal space. On the first floor, you can lounge, watch a movie, and eat. The second floor is basically more of the studying area wherein you can quietly read through materials and occasionally crawl across the tiny bridges to get to the other side. Bringing your friends can be fun too. However, this place is not meant for people who are not comfortable with crouching or staying in tight spaces. Please be warned.
Downtime
This place would be perfect for introverts if you go here during Downtime. At around 1-3 pm from Monday-Friday, there is usually a very few amount of people present inside. Make sure you select an area wherein there no other customers sitting right beside your cubicle/space or else it might become a little bit awkward for you.
Conclusion
Cafe Talk Cebu gives you a uniquely themed cafe experience that lets you have your very own cubicle. The staff is always be ready to serve you their expensive but incredibly palatable food. If you are looking for some personal space to be away from certain people for a while then you should take a look and visit this cafe.
