The place is half Art Gallery, half Café Restaurant. The artworks, paintings and sculptures of different artists are all breath-taking and original works some of which are for sale. It is new and its possibilities are still endless!

Great works of art! It would be BEST if there are activities that visitors can do to engage into art, aside from just looking at the displays and eating hehe

Aside from the town's century-old, Spanish era church, there is also another cultural treasure worth visiting here in Albur. Hiding from the national highway is Talimbaw Cafe. A cafeteria that showcases the best paintings and other work of arts that can be found in Bohol, painted and crafted by the most talented of Boholanos. The paintings and other artworks are being displayed primarily on their showcase room, however, the cafe is filled with different paintings all around, giving it a very lit ambiance. The cafeteria itself provides visitors a very relaxing ambiance, best for a quick chill, specially for tourists who still needs to head to other tourist attractions. Their food and drink options isn't really the best, but its quite affordable at least. What really captures my likeness to the place is the art works they have displayed and not really on their food. Tip: This place is not hard to find. Simply find their signage located along the left side of the highway, then walk straight to the street where the signage is at. At the far end of the street, a few meters away, you can see the signboard that says, "Talimbaw".
