Absolutely loved this place. The smoothie bowls are stunning — presentation is Instagram-perfect, and more importantly, the taste is incredible. The café itself is gorgeous with those murals. Came back three days in a row!

Best coffee in all of El Nido, no question. As an Italian, I'm hard to impress with espresso — but the latte art and quality of the beans here is exceptional. The atmosphere is warm, the staff are wonderful. A must-visit.

The vegan burrito bowl was the best meal of my entire Philippines trip. I also had the matcha latte — perfect balance, not too sweet. The interior design with the animal mural is so unique and beautiful. Highly recommend to everyone!

We ate here every single morning during our week in El Nido. The banana waffles are dangerously good, and the açaí bowl is the real deal. Staff are warm and remember your name. This place has a real soul to it.

A hidden gem that isn't so hidden anymore — and for good reason. The Biscoff cold brew is unlike anything I've ever had. Loved the eco-conscious approach too, no single-use plastic anywhere. This café has values. Bravo!

Bilang isang Pilipino, proud akong sabihin na taste. is world-class. The Filipino breakfast plate with garlic rice — comfort food elevated. The space is stunning, the coffee is amazing, and the vibes are immaculate. See you next trip!
