- HANNAH V. OBAL / Writer

If one is looking for a place to rave over how awesome Pokémon is, then one need not look further than Gen. Maxilom Ave., Cebu City, more specifical­ly, toward a little cafe right next to the old Sacred Heart School for Boys and Veco.

Pokemaster­s Cafe, a sign says. For a Pokémon fanatic, it is love at first sight. Here’s more info on the cafe that has kids and kids at heart clamoring to visit the place.

THEME IS IN

How does one turn a simple cafe into something so much more interestin­g? Go with a theme, of course! Themed cafes have become a hit in other parts of the world, and in Cebu, Pokemaster­s Cafe is simply a haven for those who love everything and anything about Pokémon. With the owners being fans themselves, it’s a gift from one fan to another fan.

DRINKS APLENTY

As a cafe, drinks are everything. And Pokemaster­s Cafe does not disappoint. There is a wide array to choose from: Coffee, both hot or iced, frappes, and smoothies such as chocolate, choco banana, and banana peanut butter smoothies, to name a few.

FOOD HAVEN

To go with the coffee drinks, Pokemaster­s Cafe offers customers cupcakes and cookies, and along with that, the well-loved flavored fries and a steaming bowl of ramen with a side of kimchi! The owners still have plans to add more food items to the menu, such as rice meals and other savory dishes.

AESTHETICA­LLY PLEASING

With throngs of people coming in on a daily basis, it’s not hard to pinpoint why exactly the cafe is pretty popular. Of course, the Pokémon theme makes it a sure hit but the ambiance is what truly has people coming back. It’s a chill, laid-back place with a bunch of Pokémon stuffed toys at the ready to be cuddled with. It’s also a plus that the place is always clean and neat!

FRIENDLY STAFF

The staff at the cafe are just so friendly, ready and willing to assist customers from the moment they step in. Need a recommenda­tion on what to order? They’ve got your back. Need a picture taken? No hesitation from their end at all!

MORE PERKS

Visit and get a trainer badge. Yes, a trainer badge! One can get one badge (there are eight) per day if one orders a minimum of P100 worth of food or drinks.

Once completed, a free drink is on the house, and of course to the choice of the customer. But it doesn’t stop there. Ongoing raffles are held wherein customers can get the chance to win a new Nintendo 3DS XL among other things!
