10,000 Roses Cafe

About 10,000 Roses Cafe

10,000 Roses Cafe is a waterfront establishment in Barangay Day-as, Cordova, famous for its expansive outdoor installation of ten thousand artificial white roses equipped with LED lights. Positioned along the coast near the Cordova Tourism Center, the spot overlooks the Mactan Channel and the distant Cebu City skyline. Visitors primarily travel here in the late afternoon to watch the rose garden illuminate at dusk, offering a scenic backdrop for photos and a breezy coastal atmosphere.

What to expect

The main draw of the property is the artificial garden planted across the waterfront lawn, where thousands of synthetic white flowers create a dense carpet extending toward the sea. During daylight hours, the field appears as a neat sea of white blooms, while the indoor and outdoor seating areas offer space to order beverages and light snacks like coffee, pasta, and pizza. The standout moment occurs around twilight when the integrated LED bulbs inside each rose are switched on. As dusk settles over the channel, the entire garden glows white, contrasting against the darkening sky and the distant city lights across the water. A typical visit lasts roughly 45 minutes to an hour, which provides ample time to walk along the designated pathways, take photos, and appreciate the view. The attraction is particularly popular with couples, photography enthusiasts, and tour groups looking for a brief evening stop before or after dining nearby.
