Balai cafe will always be one of those cafés you’ll love to go to- for relaxation from a busy day at work, or at school. Just the perfect place to unwind dor its cozy furnitures and the home vibe it provides, true to it’s name- Balai.
Food was great but what I can really recommend are their drinks. Coffee is what they are really known first next was their roasted chicken.

This is the best restaurant/cafe/chill place I've been to in Cebu. The moment we stepped in, I already knew we were in the right place. The staff were courteous and friendly. The food was great! I ordered Balai plate and even though I liked it so much, I wasn't able to finish it due to the large serving. I also love their frappuccino! I ordered Triple Chocolate and it didn't disappoint. I especially liked that the sweetness was just right and how it complements the flavor of this drink. And since everyone loved it here, went for a second visit on our last day and I ordered bacon roll and black forest for my daily dose of coffee. As usual, I liked both and it gave me more reason to love this cafe. It's a true hidden gem at the heart of Cebu City. Now I'm never gonna miss an opportunity to visit here whenever I go to Cebu. I just wish they would expand here in Manila. I'd definitely be their first customer. Kudos to the whole crew! Keep up the good work!
Let me talk about the pros and cons:
The Cons
-First of all, we arrived when it was dark and the parking area didn’t have any lighting. At all. It was hard to park, even with someone to help, looking for the guide lines for parking was hard. It would have been no problem during the day, but at night parking is quite difficult.
-One of the orders we got (Cream Of Corn soup) took a long time to be served. We requested it to be served first, but it was the last thing to be served instead.
The Pros
-Very friendly and accommodating staff. Our server especially was really good. I wasn’t able to get his name, but props to you bro, you were awesome.
-Restaurant has a great ambience.
-Food was amazing. It was my first time eating there but I wasn’t disappointed. The chicken in particular is really great. 5 stars.
The Overall
-Really good overall. Only problem is the bad lighting (actually no lighting at all) at the parking lot.
