Kupola Maaya - Uncover the Charm of a "Hidden" Garden Café

A few months ago, I met up with one of my close friends and she brought me to a dainty cafe which I would never have thought I would fall in love with.

Just located near the condominium where she was living, it was just a 5-minute walk to KUPOLA MAAYA.

It was our first time to experience the place. I wasn't at all excited at first but when I stepped inside the cafe, I was blown away by how aesthetically pleasing the interior design was. Hands down!

If I remember it correctly, it was a weekday so when we arrived, there was no other customer. We had the place to ourselves. And so I took the liberty to take photos of the place before it got crowded.

AESTHETICS

Their main theme was a garden-type cafe but for me, it was an elevated mix of garden, boho, and chic.

The entrance part looked spacious because of the dome-shaped, high ceiling design. There were enough tables and chairs with a color palette of brown and white. I also love they hung ornamental plants and bamboo pendant lights. At the end was the bar area. That means they served either coffee or a cocktail!

---

On the left side area upon entering the cafe, there were sectioned rooms; each with a unique yet complimentary design to the main area.

This spot right here felt more like a place good to have your cocktail drinks with your girlfriends due to its yellow dim lights, darker color tones of furniture, and the hanging fairy lights. It felt like a more casual yet cozy place.

---

The next room was far different. Its theme was more like an indoor setting and modern. This area would be great for a coffee date or a business meetup.

---

On the back side, an outdoor open setting filled with plants. The chairs and tables and the setup look dainty; more garden-themed. And on the other side of the glass wall, is another room for private events!

I loved how the owners and the designer maximized the floor area of their place.

MENU

The menu has a variety of dishes to choose from ranging from Appetizers to Brunch meals, sandwiches, and pastas. Their main menu includes chicken, beef, salmon, pork, and steak where prices range from Php 290-550!

They also have a variety of drinks including coffee, cold brew, juices, and tea. And let's not forget their cocktail drinks like Amaretto Sour, Red Sangria, and Tequila sunrise with prices ranging from Php 250-380. They also have unlimited Amaretto or Sangria on Weekdays from 6-8 pm. Just the perfect place for girls like us who love a drink when stressed out!

FOOD

My friend ordered the TWIN HERB PORKCHOP (Php 350) while I had IMPANATA DI PESCE which is a coated fish fillet fried with fresh mango salsa. We also had a Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings (Php 230).

I had a taste of the pork chop. It was soft and seasoned well. The dish was simple yet plated well. It was delicious to look at and savory to the taste.

---

My dish had a different take - The fillet was cooked well but the salsa won me over. Though I wish they had added more of it.

---

For our drinks we had the Buy 1 Take 1 Coffee. She chose the White Choco Mocha while I had the Spanish Latte.

---

And so we enjoyed a great chat over good food! We had a great time here and we both promised to come back for the unlimited drinks!

I haven't been in the city for quite some time but it was such a treat to be able to visit a beautiful cafe like this so make sure to visit Kupola Maaya on your next visit to Cebu. It's worth it. Located at Gen. E. Osmeña St, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu. They are open from Tuesdays to Sundays usually from 11 am to 10pm.
