​Way back 2013, our founder worked as a barista at a coffee shop in Cebu. While working, he noticed that more than half of the customers either come to the café to work or study. However, people feel uneasy, sometimes disappointed because in a regular coffee shop you are offered with very few power outlets, slow WiFi, uncomfortable wooden seats, noisy ambiance. Most of all, you are forced to order food or coffee, even if you don't like to drink anything other than water. Then the idea of building Workplace Café was born.
Built together with his family and friends, he established the first coworking cafe in Cebu where people can study and work in a coffee shop ambiance. It wasn’t easy to build Workplace Café. The idea of coworking is still very new to the minds of the Filipino. Most of us know what coffee shop is but only a few know that coworking spaces exists. Little by little, customers get to know the idea of coworking and the cafe began thriving.
The café comes with all the necessary amenities – minus the guilt of overstaying. There are options to stay for an hour, whole day, or whole month.
Now, Workplace Cafe has become a hub for productivity for both students and professionals in Cebu. It continues to live up to its mission of providing a good workplace in a great coffee shop experience.
