10,000 Led Roses
10,000 Led Roses is a garden cafe on Mactan Island in Cordova, Philippines, featuring around ten thousand plastic white roses each fitted with an LED light and arranged across the outdoor and indoor areas. The space offers seating in both open-air and covered sections, with views toward Cebu City and the water.
The cafe opened in 2017 and was the first installation of this kind in the Philippines. It drew visitors from across the island and beyond, especially those who came to see the lights after dark.
The name of the place refers to the exact number of LED roses spread across the garden. Visitors tend to come in groups and spend the evening here over coffee, watching the roses light up one by one as the sun goes down.
The cafe sits on Mactan Island and is easy to reach from Mactan airport by taxi or ride-sharing, with the trip from Cebu City taking roughly an hour by van or tricycle. Arriving in the late afternoon gives you time to settle in before the roses start glowing as dusk falls.
Although the roses are made entirely of plastic, they are regularly cleaned and maintained to keep them looking white and tidy years after the opening. This level of upkeep surprises most visitors, who might expect a display this large to require little ongoing attention.
