Tightrope Coffee Velez

๐Ÿ“Downtown ยท Velez Medical Arts Building, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu, Philippines

8
Score

The second, larger branch of Cebu's popular specialty coffee brand, housed in the Velez Medical Arts Building with a striking brutalist-minimalist design and spacious, Instagram-worthy interiors. Plenty of power outlets and free WiFi cater specifically to laptop workers and students, with the same quality brews and generous food portions the brand is known for. The longer opening hours compared to the original branch give more flexibility for both early and late work sessions.

Punched Coffee

๐Ÿ“Cebu Business Park ยท Mabuhay Tower, Cebu Business Park, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu, Philippines

7
Score

A stylish Melbourne-inspired cafรฉ 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.

1

Buy something every 2-3 hours. Be a good customerโ€”cafes appreciate regulars who support them.

Test WiFi before settling in. Run a speed test during your first coffee to avoid surprises.

Bring headphones. Noise levels vary throughout the dayโ€”be prepared for lunch rushes.

4

Visit during off-peak hours. 10-12am and 3-5pm usually have the best seats available.
