‘Café Ysabel and Center for Asian Culinary Studies’
World-class Cuisine: Café Ysabel
Café Ysabel predates all the world famous American coffee chains with what used to be one of the world’s longest lists of coffee concoctions. The secret lies in the aromatic and dark roasted Café Ysabel blend which includes choice Philippine coffee beans such as Arabica from the Kalinga region, Robusta from Davao and Cagayan. Aside from the imported beans that give maximum flavor with low acidity. Connoisseurs delight at the round, creamy and chocolatey flavors that Café Ysabel has been known for the past two decades.
One can also have same heart-warming milk tea or hot chocolate concoctions or cool off with the frozen tea and chocolate slush or perhaps a giant fresh fruit daiquiri from the bar.
