Skydreamer Dines in Bohol: Garden Cafe

In 1984, the Bohol Foundation for the Deaf & Disabled, Inc. opened the Garden Cafe as a small snack center made of bamboo with 7 deaf employees. It has undergone many transformations from a BBQ stand, donut shop, pizza parlor, to a Filipino-Tex-Mex fusion restaurant. They also serve desserts like pumpkin pie and frozen typhoon.

I'm usually difficult to impress when it comes to restaurant interiors. Lately, it would take a good hotel restaurant to make me truly appreciate the theme/ambience or whatever the restaurant has it going. Well, this one impressed me so much and I was just amazed that I've never heard if this delightful place before.

Here are the things that impressed me:
1. The staff is composed of deaf persons so when you order, you have to call a certain number from a phone in your booth to tell them what you want. Obviously, you'll be talking to a person who CAN hear you.
2. They serve pumpkin pie! For P35 and that's with whipped cream!
3. Proceeds are used to educate deaf children in Bohol.

If you're in Tagbilaran, do check them out.

You use this phone to order. Great idea!
