    It would have been a delight to try those if we weren’t too full on the pasta choices we availed! The serving can be good enough to be shared by two! But it was too delicious that I didn’t share mine. Haha. No regrets though!

    We find the staff at Tightrope Coffee knowledgeable about coffee and passionate about sharing their expertise with customers. But some other customers find them more transactional than interactive. But the thing is, as long as they contribute to the elevation of the food quality of Tightrope, I wouldn’t be one to ask for any conversation other than our transaction.

    Just to be clear, we don’t find it offensive if they would keep to themselves more than other establishments since our blog focuses on the quality and taste of food in relation to its price. We are not about the aesthetics of the plates or plating or the service experience. Of course, we’re not the Michelin guide.

    One potential downside of Tightrope Coffee that customers notice is that the small space can get noisy at times, especially during peak hours. However, this only adds to the cozy and vibrant atmosphere of the café which was further elevated by its brutalist design.

    Don’t miss out on the opportunity to experience Tightrope coffee when come by Cebu! They have two branches and we’ve compiled details about each below.
