Last weekend has been cloudy day in Cebu. Good thing is there is an invitation by a friend for a good of coffee in Ezone. The most popular I could have in mind to get to the place is Rainforest Zoo or the Citi park hotel to get to Ezone. In Ezone, it's like a small village of the best of life could have food, spa and coffee. But I choose the latter and head to Cafe Jasmin. You can find this as the blue  and white strip painted wall. As told by their barista, the coffee beans were imported from the coffee producing countries directly. I could not agree more with the taste of the coffee is way different from the commercial coffee shops. Also, the extensive knowledge of their barista is impressive. We only have tasted the hot drinks BTW they are also offering meal.  We were served with lasagna, penne chicken carbonara and a Japanese chicken curry. I love the lasagna , its meaty and just the right sweetness ( just being so Filipino) my least favorite is the carbonara its just appeals a little bland , it lacks the creaminess I am looking for or the pasta is a bit hard not the al dente texture but it was well  stuffed with chicken meat that makes up for it. As for the dessert, I love their house specially the nonbake blue berry cheese cake and triple chocolate brownie. A tip, the brownie is best warmed. :)

Cafe Jasmin sells first class coffee beans (single origin Arabica from Kenya, Antigua, Ethiopia and Colombia) and uses hand drip brewing method. It is a cafe with an on-site roastery, too. Aside from offering specialty coffee, they also serve mouthwatering food and desserts, therefore, you don’t need to go else where to enjoy both worlds.
