Punched Coffee

📍Cebu Business Park · Mabuhay Tower, Cebu Business Park, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu, Philippines

7
Score

A stylish Melbourne-inspired café in Mabuhay Tower featuring warm wooden accents, spacious airy interiors, and plenty of natural light pouring through large windows. The specialty coffee uses imported Code Black Coffee beans, complemented by an all-day breakfast menu and pet-friendly policy in Cebu Business Park. WiFi signal can be spotty at times, so it's best for lighter browsing rather than heavy-bandwidth work.
