An artsy-crafty cafe with an inviting vibe caught our attention in Davao. It's so colorful and full of cute things. First attempt to dine in Keepsakes Cafe was a failure because we were full already. Second chance was critical because we had a few remaining hours in Davao. Forgetting about hotel breakfast, out we went for breakfast in this "can't-get-my-eyes-off-you" cafe.

So many options to choose from

Candy-colored menu

Look at the various decors around:

Look up! The lights! 

Crafts for sale

Mini love locks--- and oh, they sell locks in case you forgot

You know when all you need is something to write on?

It's a happy distraction while waiting for the food which was kinda slow considering that we ordered only Hungarian Sausage Good Morning Meal at Php 130. It's already served with rice and iced tea. 

Hungry hungarian. It took them a while

For dessert, an Oreo Mud pie was a good dose of happiness. 

Cup of sweets!

Overall, food taste isn't remarkable. BUT the presentation and the perky ambiance of the place make it too hard to resist.

After a hearty dinner in Lachi's, decided to grab coffee at Green Coffee as it's located just across the famous restaurant. All green, thanks to its name, the facade and the interiors could tell that it can give a relaxing coffee experience at the heart of Davao. 

Appealing facade

Inside will give a chill moment. Enjoyed looking around the "green plants" decked along the walls. 

Still full house at late night

Green Counter and Menu

Since cake is not an option, decided to go for a good drink (just had water at Lachi's). Chose among their Fine Salt & Cheese Milk Tea. The fine salt balanced the sweetness which is a good break for me. I love that it came with muscovado sugar, too.  

The sugar! Says it all. 

When I go back to Davao again, I'll make sure that I'll try their cakes and pastries.

Another place we chilled at when in Davao was Woodberry Cafe. It's almost natural that we'd end up there since it's near The Pinnacle Hotel.

Hi, Woodberry!

It's very apparent that it's a new cafe. Aside from its wood theme, decked its walls were historical artifacts in frames. The music playing inside was relaxing to the point of dozing off. 

The frames talks about history

A bit dark inside

Drinks menu board

Ordered Strawberry frappe plus 2 slices of cakes: from Chocolate cake at Php 175 and Blueberry Cheesecake. Sorry, the prices I can't remember but I felt that I was eating in Metro Manila with its price. 

Doesn't look so enticing, right?

A few more moisture, then it's good already

The strawberry frappe (Php 95 tall/ Php 115 large) was too sweet for me. I wasn't able to drink all down. The cakes, on the other hand, weren't that sweet. If only both were a bit more moist, it could have been better.

Strawberry dose

Nice try, anyway.
