Coined after the term ‘boi la’ which means to cook with leaves, and also taken from ‘Voila’ an expression to call attention that is usually used when performing magic tricks, Cafe Voi La was born.
Cafe Voi La is an Asian-inspired getaway conceptualized by owner, Ica Sebastian. The place is adorned with Asian art and ornaments, oriental displays, and furniture collected from Ica’s many travels around the world. This lovely cafe is vibrant and picture-perfect in all angles.
