La Creme is a cake shop and café on the ground floor of Holiday Inn Cebu City, on the corner of Samar Loop and Panay Road in Cebu Business Park. It is open 24 hours. Come for a cheesecake slice and an egg scone, sit in one of the yellow chairs, and do not expect a bargain: a slice and a latte together run about ₱430.

It works best for three kinds of people. The traveler who landed at 7 AM and cannot check in until 3 PM. The barkada coming out of a late dinner with nowhere left open for dessert. And the remote worker who wants an aircon table with a socket and does not mind paying ₱170 for the privilege. On the November 2026 visit somebody was set up at a window table with a laptop and headphones.

What to order
Start with the cheesecakes. The slices in the case have the dark, burnt top of a Basque-style bake, and at ₱270 to ₱280 they are the reason the place exists. The tiramisu one adds a cocoa-dusted cream topping over the burnt crust, which sounds like too much and works.
The ube velvet is the Filipino slice in the case: layered purple sponge with a crumb-coated outside, ₱260. It is the one to order for somebody visiting from abroad who wants ube and does not want halaya.
The strawberry croissant is the showpiece, a laminated croissant piped along the top with cream and strawberries and dusted with sugar, and it sits next to a card that reads made to order. At ₱280 it costs the same as a cheesecake slice.
For something to take away, the pastry island is the better shelf. Egg scones on a raised stand under a Customer Favorites sign, financiers in three flavors, oversized cookies and cinnamon rolls. A financier and an Americano is the cheapest way to sit down here, at around ₱310 on the October 2025 cards.

What to get at La Creme, by situation.
Pick the one that sounds like you. The board fills in and the total is real, off the cards in the case.
Plain scone + Americano
₱310
The cheapest way to hold a table for a few hours. Landed at 7 AM, check-in at 3 PM, phone charging at the window.
Ube velvet slice + café latte
₱430
For the relative home from abroad who asks for ube within an hour of landing. Layered purple sponge, crumb outside, nothing like a jar of halaya. Buy a second slice to take back to the house.
Tiramisu cheesecake + espresso
₱400
Basque-style cheesecake has no biscuit crust. It bakes hot and fast, so the outside caramelizes almost black while the middle stays soft. That dark top is the point, not a mistake. A short espresso cuts the cream.
Strawberry croissant + strawberry matcha
₱475
The made-to-order showpiece and the pink-and-green drink. Same money as a slice and a latte plus ₱45, and it is the plate people photograph.
Four slices to share
₱1,080
Ube velvet, tiramisu, Biscoff and strawberry cheesecake, one of each, cut into quarters. ₱270 a head before drinks, and the doors are still open at 2 AM.
Prices off the cards and the drinks board. Checked 13 November 2026.
Custom cakes and gift orders
Every cake can be made to a custom design, and the shop says so on a sign beside the case. As of November 2026 a card on the tea table announces that cake reservations are now open, and a sign on the pastry island offers group orders for gifts. Inquiries go to lacremecebucity@gmail.com.
Worth knowing before you go
It is a hotel café, and it feels like one. A glass screen is the only thing between the cake counter and the Holiday Inn lobby, and on the November 2026 visit the lobby side was busy with guests sitting on their suitcases. If you want a quiet corner, take a table on the street side, along the windows.
The room is white wainscoting, a crystal chandelier, mustard chairs and flowers on every counter. By mid-November 2026 it already had a full Christmas display up, tree included, so expect the pastry island to share space with ornaments until January.
Getting there: it is under ten minutes on foot from Ayala Center Cebu, across Cebu Business Park. The shop has its own glass door onto the covered walkway outside, so there is no need to go through the hotel.
More late-night options are in things to do in Cebu at night, and if you are deciding where to base yourself, where to stay in Cebu covers the Business Park. For a café that runs on flowers rather than cake, there is Kalidades in IT Park.
