Cebuano folks need not to travel all the way to Vietnam just to get a taste of their good coffee as Don Macchiatos lands in Cebu. As you know, Cebu has their own coffee culture so bringing in new flavors to this vibrant city (inspired by local flair) feels just the right thing to do. They did this last October 20th, at their new flagship store in P. del Rosario right beside Sto. Rosario Church in Cebu City. This gives you reason not to go far ey!?
The new line consists of Coconut Coffee, Salt Coffee, Iced Milk Coffee and Iced Black Coffee. They did this with Phin filters and sourced Trung Nguyen Beans (Robusta) that are darker than usual (has chocolate notes) just like the what the Vietnamese love. They also use Vinamilk condensed milk so you get the same experience as Viet's do, but not overpriced as it only costs PHP 59.00 only. While they differ in taste (of course they're different flavors!) you would be able to tell because one has got dessicated coconut on it, then salted cream toppings, some have sweetened condensed milk, and the latter having darker chocolate/notes. Don Macchiatos also looks different in this side of the world as they had it designed by Yaoto Architects + partners that have done exceptional spaces in the past. Imagine it like the various coffee shops in Vietnam but sits right in the tropical Cebu township. Spend a few minutes or hours here and you'll feel right at Hanoi, like an escape.
If you're out in Manila or other places where Don Macchiatos is currently in, don't worry because they plan to roll out these new flavors too in your neighborhood very soon. Say Xin Chao all over again when that happens okay?!
