Tuko Cafe

Here's another lovely "instagrammable" coffee shop in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. A few meters away from Bohol Quality Mall, escaping the noise and the traffic jam. From 9AM onwards, dive into their impressive menu. 

Tuko Cafe is located at ground floor of the new Limhong Khu Medical Arts Building beside Ramiro Hospital. This nice cozy place would make you relax for a little while. The theme of this cafe is a Gecko, which is locally known as Tuko in Bisayan term. The big yellow tuko footprint in their ceiling really compliments with the motif. Tuko replicas are also being placed all around the upper part of the walls of the cafe that makes more interesting. 

The cafe's interior design

This place describes the concept as a kind of upscale destination space, where customers can begin the day with coffee and other fresh-made food and drinks, sourced and prepared at the highest levels. 
You can see obviously the "Tuko" on the wall - cute!!!

This cafe has 2 stories, and I loved the color combination on the first floor. It is undoubtedly a great place to chill out with friends or just enjoy a good book in silence.

Here are some of the foods and drinks they served.

Cold Dark Choco Nut, Mocha and Caramel Macchiato

Not a sweet tooth? Not a problem because they also serve Korean food and many others. Here's my experience with my friend, Alms.

I have always looked at getting a great coffee wherever I am as a small road trip of mine. While I aspire to visit every worthwhile coffee purveyor, the sad truth is that there's not much money in my coffee coffers to make that a consistent reality, hehehe .. So until I get to a coffee shop, I'm more than content to breathe in their beans and slurp their brews.

During my college years, I would often stroll the area around the city looking for something to suit my emotion, something that is almost for free, haha! (student's life..sigh!) Only I could remember, in that era there were only few decent coffee shops until I finished university and stayed in Cebu for quite a long time. Now that I am staying here for good, I have noticed that the city has improved a lot that great spots began popping up here and there, making for a full turn around for the local coffee scene, and this is one of the few current spots I have visited yet.

Iced Caramel Macchiato
For coffee, they proudly serve different kinds of blended and espresso. In my most recent visit, I ordered this although I used to have hot one but since the temperature is quite high and already hot!!! so I got the cold one. 

It has a cozy atmosphere and its elite interior gives you that dainty notion due to its lights and furniture. Moreover, the crew was very approachable. 

I think there are still some coffee shops here in Tagbilaran city that I have to visit. Till then...
