Best time to visit 10000 Roses Cebu

How to get to 10000 Roses Cebu

What to expect at 10000 Roses Cebu

Upon entering 10000 Roses Café & More you’ll be greeted by a sea of white roses set against a backdrop of the Mactan Channel and mainland Cebu in the distance. The entire place is Instagrammable, which is what made it one of the most popular Cebu tourist spots to begin with.

We can’t say we took the time to count each individual rose, but there definitely looks to be 10000 roses. It was an impressive display during the day so we can’t imagine how beautiful it is at night when the LED lights are on.

Since 10000 Roses Cebu is also a café, we couldn’t leave without having a bite to eat and a drink. With a typical café menu, we tried the pizza, fries, cheesecake, and frappes. We enjoyed our meal overlooking the sea, the perfect end to our date day.

Despite being comprised of artificial roses, it still represents love, hope, and motivation for many. The sheer number of fake roses, each with its own unique charm, showcases the determination and effort put forth by the Cebuano people.
