Hello tasteemers!
Welcome to the 28th edition of Kim's Taste!
This edition is about a cafe here in Cebu that offers a wide selection of desserts. Their specialty is bingsu - a Korean shaved ice dessert with different varieties of toppings like chopped fruits, fruit syrup, condensed milk, and other sweets.
With the influx of Korean nationals in Cebu and with the proliferation of Hallyu fever in the Philippines, I guess it's just natural that Cafe Ice Top would take advantage of that.
Let me elaborate further if this cafe is really worth its price. Here we go!
As they have claimed it, they offer the Premium Snow Ice. But before I comment on that, let me talk about the place first.
The Place
When we entered the place, it seems like a high-end dessert place. By the way, Cafe Ice Top is located in the Lower Ground Floor of J Centre Mall, A.S. Fortuna St., Banilad, Mandaue City, Cebu. There are only a handful of other customers so I think the place is good as a study area or meeting place.
The place is really cozy, chill, and quiet. I personally loved the ambience and I think it's great for some personal time. The only downside in terms of the place is the Wi-Fi connection. It's an area for improvement for them. They need to have a strong Wi-Fi connection to attract more customers.
The Desserts
They have a wide variety of bingsu flavors among other desserts. They have sandwiches, cakes, and other pastries.
In terms of taste, their desserts are good. The one above is a blueberry sandwich which I personally liked.
The Price
To be honest, I find the price a little bit higher given their serving size and quality. It's a little bit pricey, but definitely worth a try.
Other comments are: (1) they should train their staff to be more accommodating and (2) they should consider to have other selections that are worthy and also catering the millenials.
Overall, the dessert place is still recommended, but you should consider your budget. You should also consider if you badly needed a Wi-Fi connection or you just want to hang out.
I guess that's all for my review. Please don't hesitate to comment anything that you want to express! Comments, suggestions, and violent reactions are always welcome. Also, thank you in advance for showing some love by upvoting this post!
