"I liked the cake Dubai Chocolate Pistachio cake that we ordered Place is aesthetic with nice vibes."

"Beautiful space with aesthetically pleasing bakery and menu items. However, with the baked goods just sitting out in the middle of the big room, they tend to not be the freshest and also attract flies from the street just outside, which we had to swat away while choosing our food. The cream in the strawberry croissant was delicious, the garlic toast was more sweet than savory, the matcha latte was creamy and yummy, and the strawberry matcha was also very good! Overall good, but I’d also prioritize the freshness and cleanliness of the food over the aesthetic."

"Bonjour, beauty! We arrived here around 6:30am and they open 7am but to our surprise, they allowed us to stay inside the cafe instead of waiting outside. Though we came from the airport and it's obvious since we brought our luggage. The staff are friendly and accommodating. We felt delighted and glad we visited Merci. We ordered croissants and coffees. Flaky, buttery, divine I would say! pastry perfection that is to die for! A must visit when you are in cebu."

"I love that the pastries we ate good. The fillings were not too sweet, it was just right and the croissants were flaky and buttery. The place was clean and it was quite nice going there early in the morning."

"Really loved this café!I liked the croissant more than the cake and would definitely come back for it.They have 1st and 2nd floors,plus a 3rd-floor al fresco area that was windy and relaxing.It’s also great for kids and toddlers since they can run around upstairs.A bit pricey, but totally worth it."

"Food was just OK, probably not fresh anymore due to the coldness of the A/C. The taste and imagination was there but the texture did not cut it for me. The earl grey Kouign-amann was tasty indeed. The flat white I ordered was OK as well. Pastries were quite pricey, while the coffee was priced alright. The staff was cheerful and accommodating. The best attribute of the place is probably its aesthetic. I really loved the light and airy feeling of the interiors. They also have tables upstairs for a different view; it's alfresco though, so check the weather when you plan to visit. I'd be interested to try the other croissants next time especially the mixed fruits and the chocolate ones!"

"A very elegant bakery/cafe. When we visited in the morning we were the only customers but some tables are really dirty and the chairs were not arranged. Their drink were delicious but weird when served, I ordered the iced caramel latte and they put in on a mug then with a straw, i think it would look better when served in a glass but anyway the place is really nice, the savory and sweet breads are delicious and they have a photobooth on the second floor to capture that sweet moment of visiting them. I would really recommend going to this cafe."
