Comfort in a cup at Kikok’s

CEBU, Philippines - Imagine a sanctuary in the middle of a busy city where you can relax and enjoy the wonderful aroma of a warm cup of coffee.  That is exactly what you’ll experience at Kikok’s Pastry Kafe.

At first look, one would think that Kikok’s is but another misplaced shop in a location otherwise dominated by surplus shops and other industrial companies, but when you enter their humble abode, you will forget that you are actually in a place replete with all the trappings of a busy industrial street.

This is not just another coffee shop in the mall, but a haven, a small plot of bliss tucked safely along the busy M.L. Quezon Street in Cabangcalan, Mandaue City, where most of the vehicles that pass are either large trucks or heavy equipment.

The front may not be that extraordinary, but then just like all treasures it is what’s in the inside that’s really priceless.

Kikok’s started out of a passion – the passion to bake and the passion to serve.

Jay Fernandez’s love for cooking was not hindered by the fact that his line of business and expertise is printing, advertising, and marketing when he decided to venture into a business that he is not as familiar with.

It all started there, baking out of passion. And since it opened last January 8, the coffee shop-cum-bakeshop has earned a loyal following, not just in terms of walk-in clients but also with corporate clients who order bread and cakes in bulk.

But more than bread and cakes, Kikok’s also serves lunch and dinner. And although the menu is not as extensive and fancy, it’s the taste that captures the essence of home cooking that would truly make one want to take the time to travel to this somewhat remote location.

Want to experience something different? Kikok’s Pastry Kafe is open daily from 9 am to 9 pm. For orders and reservations, call 3182195 or 2382847.
