I had the pleasure of visiting Ibsons choice cafe 2.0 this afternoon, and it definitely exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with charming decorations that makes it the perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. I tried the full breakfast and crispy chicken burger and it was absolutely delicious! The coffee had the perfect balance of rich flavor, and the food was fresh and full of taste. Plus, they have a variety of options to suit all tastes. They have two brunches which both are cozy and good for working or having a girls day out Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to work or just need a good cup of coffee, I highly recommend Ibson choice cafe I can’t wait to return and try more from their menu!

This place gotta nice vibe. With all the books and props around you’d find this place as an amazing photo location too. Recommended for coffee, dine in, small meetups, chill outs or dates. Coffee is little bit expensive than baristas but it has own uniqueness.

Was there was for a simple date with my best friend and both of us absolutely loved the vibe. Its was so peaceful and calming to spend time there. The food tasted great! The staff was really nice and easy going. We also really loved the Ibsons' Latta Patta corner where there was a wide selection of items we could buy small toys and accessories from, ended up bring home two tiny stuffed turtles. Would definitely visit again soon!
