WE were on a hunt for a
place to eat, chill and do some work one weekend and so we headed up north of
Davao City to try out this unique travel-themed café.
Jeep ride took for a couple
of minutes (ugh traffic is real people!), it was already past lunch time and we
have finally arrived in Cabantian where the café was located.

perfect
The owners, according to one
of the staff, loves to travel around the world thus the name and the theme of
the café.
It has also been decorated
that way with loads of decors which are picture and selfie perfect. We took the
waiting time for our food as an opportunity to take tons of photos of the
place.

Delish
selections
Gypsy Café also has a lot of
food selections. From café drinks, light snacks or heavy lunch and dinner they
have it all.
My friend ordered the
Filipino Bibimbap (P180) which we find unique while I ordered their Baby Back
Ribs (P260) which they said to be one of the best sellers. We also got Buffalo
Wings (P180) to share.
Also, later that day we saw
a group of friends ordered some nachos and ice cream and they were in huge
serving (no kidding) but we were so full already. Maybe when we get back!
The
Vibe
Because of the distance of
the café from the heart of the city, the place is pretty chill especially
during the morning and afternoon. It is really a perfect place to be if you
want to stay away from people or concentrate in studying or weekend work. But it
may be crowded at night though as they also have some live bands playing at
some part of the week.
I really love the interiors
of the place though I haven’t been to the previous restaurant who managed the
place before Gypsy Café took over it. It’s a loft type resto and they also have
some sections at the loft part where you can have meetings or bond with friends
and family.
The
Verdict
If you are looking for a new
place to have good food away from the busy downtown then this is the perfect
place for you. You can study and do work here all day if you want but I suggest
bringing your own pocket wifi because the connection isn’t that reliable as per
experience there. For the food, it may be a little pricey but I promise you
that it’s really worth it as they offer generous servings and of course, it
tastes good!
But overall with the food,
the vibe and their very accommodating staff I give this place a two thumbs-up!
