📢 NOTICE ADVISORY

To our valued customers,

Please be informed that our café will be closing earlier than our usual operating hours today. This decision was made by the management following the recent power advisory notice shared by PIO Toledo regarding power demand nearing capacity limits, which may result in possible interruptions.

To ensure the safety and protection of our equipment and machines, and to continue providing the quality service our customers deserve, we have chosen to temporarily adjust our operating hours for today.

We appreciate your understanding and patience regarding this matter. Regular operations will resume accordingly once conditions normalize.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to serving you again soon. ☕✨

🎨✨ Cebuano Art Takes the Spotlight

A celebration of passion, persistence, and craft—local artists from Toledo and different parts of Cebu come together to showcase their works at Galerie Raphael Cebu.

From deeply personal narratives to masterfully honed techniques in oil painting, each piece reflects years of dedication and the quiet journey of becoming. These artists, shaped by humble beginnings and driven by creativity, bring with them stories that deserve to be seen and felt.

This exhibition is more than just a display—it’s a gathering of voices, styles, and experiences that form a collective bahandi of Cebuano artistry.

Come by, take your time, and discover the beauty behind every brushstroke. 🖼️

Just a quick heads-up that our café will be temporarily closed on Saturday, April 18, 2028 due to the province-wide 10-hour power service interruption from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM for system improvement activities.

A little late—but definitely worth the share.

Our recent Live Portrait Painting Session was filled with focus, curiosity, and quiet moments of growth. From first strokes to final details, it was inspiring to see each artist interpret the same live subject in uniquely personal ways.

Guiding the session was the very talented Randy Plarisan, whose keen eye and thoughtful approach helped participants better understand form, light, and expression through live study.

More than just a session, it became a space to observe, learn, and refine—where guidance met personal exploration. The dedication in the room and the shared creative energy made the experience truly special.

If you’d like to be part of the next session, give this a share and stay tuned—we’ll be announcing the next schedule for our guided live portrait painting session soon.

Last January 6, 2026, Cafe Arte came alive with creativity during our guided live portrait sessions ✨
The space was filled with curious minds, bold strokes, and meaningful conversations as artists gathered to draw, observe, and learn together. More than just a session, it became a shared experience—full of realizations, fresh perspectives, and the joy of creating in community.

Alongside the session, we proudly relaunched the artworks now showcased at the cafe, featuring the works of our talented staff and collaborators. Each piece reflects growth, collaboration, and the stories that continue to shape our creative journey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day truly bountiful. Stay tuned for more guided sessions and creative activities like this coming soon at Cafe Arte 🎨☕
