Recently awarded “Best Strip Mall” by Sunstar Cebu, Streetscape is a blend of entertainment, recreation, and convenience.
It is located near a peaceful residential community, making it a great spot for friends and families to mingle and socialize.
What makes this strip mall stand out is the variety of leisure and dining options. Whether you want to treat yourself to a delicious cup of coffee, a mani-pedi at a luxurious nail salon, a much needed workout, or a quick trip to the grocery store, you will find everything you need and more at Streetscape.
HOW IT STARTED
Streetscape was conceptualized by Jessica and Carla Go, two businesswomen from Cebu City. Before opening the strip mall in 2015, Jessica previously worked in the real estate industry.
Carla, the mall’s director of operations, mentioned in an interview with Sunstar Cebu (2015) that they aimed to create a new hangout spot in the city that is highly accessible, but away from the bustling traffic.
They soon found a 4,000 square-meter lot in Paseo Saturnino, a few minutes away from the Maria Luisa Subdivision. This is where they decided to construct the outdoor shopping center.
At Streetscape, you will notice that its location gives you a sense of privacy, since it’s tucked away from the main highway.
You can ride a jeepney to Talamban or Banilad and get off by the flyover near A.S. Fortuna. From there, the walk to Streetscape will take less than five minutes.
WHAT TO DO AT STREETSCAPE
There are a total of three levels at Streetscape. Most retail stores are located on the ground floor, while some restaurants are located on the second and third floor.
The strip mall has 35 units, consisting of coffee shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as a fitness gym and grocery store.
The outdoor parking space is located in the middle, and there is another one in the basement.
Aside from the retail establishments, there are outdoor kiosks from popular food chains like Banh Mi Kitchen, JI’PAI, Pickup Coffee, Taco Don, and more.
Among the popular establishments at Streetscape are Gelatissimo Cafe and Bakery Soesterberg.
These cafes make for a great afternoon hangout with loved ones. A variety of gelato and artisan pastries go perfectly with their coffee servings.

Lastly, the bars at Streetscape offer a fantastic ambiance for a night out with your date or with friends. We recommend checking out DINE Brunch + Bar, which is basically what the name entails.
