Sweetest delight: Cecil's Snack Inn!

Since the 1960's, Cecil's bakeshoppe has delivered a sweet taste to many Dabawenyos. Both young and old  flock to Cecils just to relish the taste of the legendary lug-lug or the yummy cheese roll. Pastry delights such as chocolate eclairs, cream puffs and an assortment of flavorful cakes is also very popular among pastry-loving citizens of this City. Aah, for many Dabawenyos, a Sunday is not complete without passing through Cecil's. You'll love it.

Museo Dabawenyo

Our City Museum, Museo Dabawenyo! The museum is located at the heart of the City, at Pichon Sreet. It is a two-story edifice that houses various mementos of Davao's past. There are artifacts purporting to the ancient tribal history of Davao. Furthermore, there are an assortment of gongs, clothes, baskets, ornaments, agricultural implements, weapons and even modern artworks portraying tribal life. There is also a section on Davao's experience of the Second World War and Chinese influence on Davao society. It's a beautiful place. Quaint but lovely.
