Freds Book Cafe - Tagbilaran

What makes this coffee shop special from any other shops I visited are the selection of books you can read while enjoying that cup of coffee. The cafe's calm ambiance completes the euphoria every book lover wants. It's truly a great place to read, refill (coffee), and relax. Aside from coffee, books, and ambiance, this cafe also serves mouth-watering meals and luscious desserts that would surely make you binge. In one setting I was able to order their Halo-halo, Fred's Fries, Keep Calamansi, and Breaded Pork Chop Bowl. Though the halo-halo is delicious, its basically concoction of sweet candy fruits. A glimpse of any natural ingredient is missing. The customer service is a hit or miss. Some servers are really good while some servers just wants to go home.

Freds Book Cafe has a private conference room that can be used for small group activities. It offers very reasonable rates, P2,000 per hour for the room which is consumable with Fred's sumptuous and delightful food choices. We organized a successful Wedding shower for our dear friends and it was a success! Thanks Freds Book Cafe!

Very cheap for a hip café that it is, but the food was rather average and the coffee was terrible. Tuna carbonara was pretty good and I recommend it. All the good was sweet in a weird way, including lettuce salad and the carbonara.

The place has a new look, and it feels more spacious and less stuffy. Still, it is regularly packed woth people. The books though may need a little bit more variety. Food here have significantly improved but maintains its affordable pricing. It offers free WiFi. Sadly, it has very limited parking space.

As a book lover, I am so enthralled by this place. Books and books everywhere and of course you come for the good food. It was my first time but would surely come back for the rice meals I did not try.
