The BEST Breakfast in the Philippines!!! the portion is huge and the toast is so thick and buttery. The beans are just like home and the bacon is crispy. The coffee is also fantastic, I got the iced latte with spiced cinnamon and it was perfect

I’ve been searching for one of the top-rated coffee shops in El Nido, and Google led me here. I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. The place is small and cozy, making it a great spot to hang out while watching people pass by with the stunning limestone cliffs as a backdrop.

We recently visited a charming little coffee shop surrounded by glass, offering a stunning mountain view as you dine. We tried their American breakfast, which was incredibly filling—especially the sausage, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, my boyfriend ordered the French toast, and it was amazing. It had a cake-like texture that we both absolutely loved. We also tried their cortado, which was excellent. Highly recommended!

Food was delicious, we got the French toast. Generous serving sizes, however oddly small plates made it hard to eat. Coffee was amazing, I ordered a cinnamon iced latte and it was lovely, however matcha was average. Very aesthetic and cozy inside but music would be a nice touch. We will be back to try some more of the menu

Awesome little shop with good vibes the guy behind the counter was a nice guy with a awesome attitude. The views are amazing with a busy street right in front. Food was great with large portions if you’re in town stop by for a coffee or a quick bite to eat.

Cute spot for a quick coffee and brunch place to hang out. Much more calming atmosphere. I had a French toast and a caramel latte. Was able to read some pages of my book it was a little quiet.
