DigiLamon Food Review

If you’re looking for a brunch spot in Davao that feels relaxed, aesthetic, and intentionally curated, Bramble in Davao is one of those places that instantly makes a good impression. We visited for brunch, and while the price point isn’t exactly student-friendly, the quality, portions, and overall experience made it feel worth it.

Bramble is the kind of place you go to when you want to slow down, enjoy good food, and actually spend time with the people you’re with—whether that’s friends, family, or your special someone.

Adobo Fried Rice

This was my order in Bramble, and I really enjoyed it.

What I liked:

  • Comforting and familiar taste
  • Very filling—serving size is generous
  • Perfect if you love Filipino flavors with a brunch twist

Even though it’s a bit pricey, the portion size makes it feel sulit.

Strawberry Shortcake Milkshake

Rating: 8.5/10

Creamy and enjoyable, this milkshake pairs well with savory dishes.

  • Not too sweet

Iced Matcha

This one was just okay for me.

  • Decent matcha flavor

If you’re a hardcore matcha lover, you might find it average—but it still works as a brunch drink.
