Korean Cafe in Cebu: (3) Cafe Tiala

This is my last feature on Korean Cafes in Cebu since I haven't visited any new ones yet (I won't feature Cafe Noriter since I have unwanted emotional memories there, sorry. I'm immature that way) but I will continue the list with other cafes (2 more to be exact) that I have been to.

Now for the #3 in the list is CAFE TIALA.
This Korean cafe has been slowly gaining popularity in Cebu City for its uniqueness from other Korean Cafes which is they princess-maid-style set up.  I find their range really affordable in contrast to their extravagant look. It is quite obvious that girls are the ones mostly flocking the place but there are also brave guys who tend to visit and actually enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service of Cafe Tiala.
The sight that will welcome you.

Cafe Tiala is located at the 2nd Floor of The Forum Bldg., Archbishop Reyes Ave., Cebu City, Philippines. (just a little walk from Ayala Center Cebu)
Store Hours: Everyday 10:00 AM – 12:00 Midnight.
They cater on different kinds of Korean foods like pickled vegetables, ramen, knick-knacks, etc., and they also have their yummy frappes and varied kind of tea to go with it.

If you want to eat the usual Korean foods I recommend this place but for me they need to level-up a bit for their Menu with the food but to their frappes and teas *clap clap clap* I am well pleased by it. Their tea is really relaxing and have some healthy effects to ones body and their frappe..oh frappes.. they just.. YUM! GREAT! They have actually hit perfectly that sweet tooth spot I have, well done.

The place is different when it is compared to the other Korean Cafes. Cafe Tiala eliminates having the concept of having post-its on its wall but rather having a clean-pinkish-princess color and ambiance. They keep their set up to a minimum which is actually very pleasing to the eyes. They have two decks for the customers to use. The lower deck is compromised of rows of cubicles that gives privacy for the customer while the upper deck is an open-terrace style sitting.
They customers are being served by maid-style servers well for this I was kind of disappointed. I have been reading Manga with maid heroine on them so I have kind of expected much but oh well *shrugs off*

What's different with CAFE TIALA from other Korean Cafes?
When you first enter the shop, you could already see the different of set-up and service crew. BOOM! That can make girls go jigiddy all over with thrilled.
Their menu is also done in a very unique way. Rather than having in written on a small black board or having it in a laminated style, Cafe Tiala is having their menu inside a cute box and each order is placed on a small cue card type. It is really adorable that makes you get all excited on picking your orders from it.
They also have other services like you could borrow some of their stuffs like their hair iron/curler, panda-pajamas, their built-in flat screen tv, heater, and many more for FREE! isn't that amazing?! :D

 For a student's point of view in the depth of one's pocket, this place gets a two thumbs up. So, get moving and check it out! :)
