There is one place at the second level of SM City Davao that became our favorite hangout mainly because of the coffee and its ambiance and the location (very near the internet cafe, printing outlet and a spa) We could talk and hold interviews here as well as write our stories for the day. Our place is the Cafe Rysus where we get our cup of coffee.

Cafe Rysus came to the city 11 years ago and opened its first outlet at Quirino Street then at Victoria Plaza and now at SM City.

One could either have a cup of hot or cold coffee. But my cup of coffee of a dollar and 20 cents is the brewed coffee that blends well with the cheese cupcake or the chocolte cream cupcake.

There are several selections if you want it hot with the espresso, espresso con pana, cappuccino, cafe latte, machchiato, cafe mocha, irish nut latte and banana nut latte. For cold coffee lovers one could have an iced coffee, iced cappuccino, iced mocha, coffee frappe, cookies and cream, hazelnut iced mocha latte. It also has flavored syrup with choices of banana, caramel, vanilla, kahlua, irish cream and hazelnut.

Cakes and pastries are also available from the blueberry cheesecake to strawberry chesscake, the durian pie, black forest, choco moist cake, mango float.

It also has on sale different kinds of bread and among the favorites is the Rosemary’s Cheese Bread and this can also be bought at all groceries of the mercury drugstores in the cities of Davao, Digos, Tagum, Panabo.

But what is good with this coffee shop aside from the ambiance is the friendly and accommodating coffee maker Jean. When in Davao try dropping by our fave hangout. There cup of coffee is worth the price. Be there and get a sip of your choice of coffee.
