    Well worth the trip from the city proper! It’s a lovely space with a great view of mountains and pine trees. There is also a library downstairs. Tried the basil pesto pasta with tuna and the crispy lemon orange chicken. Both were yummy! The sky was clear when we visited and we were lucky to have a table in the balcony area.

    I have been here because of my friends. I did not know this place could be so peaceful, and it helped me distress. I also love their food here. Their food sounds simple and traditional, but we were surprised when they presented it. The view, yes! It was so great! every corner is uniquely tied and arranged. their façade says the opposite once you get in.

    Absolutely lovely and amazing.. The place is beautiful and staffs are friendly. Food is a little bit pricy, and serving is small, take some patience too for the food to be serve. It's a place to catch up with friends😊

    Looove the food here. I highly recommend the lemon-orange chicken and the beef teriyaki. We also had lechon kawali, mushroom soup, and dinengdeng. We dined outdoors, which was nice because it was the only table there, so we had privacy. The service was nice, but they were understaffed that time, so it was kinda difficult to get a hold of the crew when you need something. I also like the atmosphere, very homey. I'll come back to try the other dishes.

    The place and location is very beautiful. It is so nice to dine on the veranda because the view of the mountain and trees is very relaxing. The food tastes good and I dare say that it is above average. The only thing that I do not like about the area is the lack of proper parking space. You will find it difficult to find a safe space for your car unless you are fine walking a few meters away from the restaurant.

    I have been to many restaurants in Baguio but Arca’s Yard Cafe is the gem! The ride from Session road going to Arcas took about 10min-15min. It is far from the city center and the road going to the resto is uphill. Ambience was superb! I can literally stay there from morning to evening. They have plenty of tables and nook depends where you want to seat. We opted to seat in the veranda to be closer with the nature and to savor the good view. If you wanted to have some time alone and be away from the crowd, this is the place to be! The staff are attentive and courteous. It gets busy during lunch so to get a hold of the crews attention becomes a lil difficult - which is pretty normal for a popular resto. The serving time is normal like 20mins or so. The food was great! Too heavy for me to be honest. I ordered pesto carbonara and the cream of mushroom soup. My friend got the pesto pasta with tuna flakes which I like better. 😅 We both agreed that the carrot cake is the WINNER! not to sweet! The star of the whole experience is when we get the chance to roam around and had photo taken with their nooks. I think this place is being advertised as cafe/resto, library, and museum. Will definitely come back to eat, pray, and LOVE. 😍

    Arca’s Yard Cafe in Baguio holds a special place in my heart. Tucked away in the mountains, this hidden gem offers not only delightful cuisine but an unforgettable experience. Stepping into Arca’s Yard felt like entering a haven of art and nature. The ambiance, adorned with paintings, sculptures, and live greenery, creates a unique and inviting atmosphere. It’s a place where you can truly unwind and embrace Baguio’s artistic charm. The menu at Arca’s Yard is a culinary journey of local and international flavors. Every dish is a celebration of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. One can’t leave without trying their “Pinikpikan,” a traditional Cordilleran chicken soup that’s nothing short of heartwarming. But what sets Arca’s Yard apart is its commitment to art and culture. Regular events featuring local artists, musicians, and poets infuse life into the place, making it a hub for the creative community. Arca’s Yard Cafe isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a destination where nature and culture intertwine. The warm hospitality of the staff, the exquisite cuisine, and the artistic ambiance make it a must-visit. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, Arca’s Yard Cafe is a treasure in Baguio, a place that captures the spirit and flavors of this enchanting city.

    It's an authentic & delectable food restaurant from cool ambiance, Baguio scenery at its terrace, clean rest room, good service, good food with reasonable prices. Sinigang Salmon was the best! Need more parking space due to its popularity, lots of crowd go there. Best for dates, family gathering, etc. Pesos Cash only.

    Your Baguio experience will not be complete if you have not visited the famed Arca’s Yard along Ambuklao Road. This museum-café is one of Baguio’s best kept secrets because of its homey vibe and highland specialty dishes. What I recommens you to try is their Cloud Tea, Camote Pie, and their Pesto Carbonara! You’re welcome!

    Great ambiance and scenery. The food is okay for the price. However, not that good customer service. One of their staff was talking to me but I didn't hear it. He told me "Wow! Nice talking." Didn't expect it.

    Lovely cafe and restaurant with a great view into the pine forest and below. Only tried the Benguet coffee (which was very nice), but they have an extensive food menu - everything they were bringing out for others smelled very tasty so I am sure the quality is good! They have a few outdoor tables on the patio, and plenty of indoor tables in little books which make for a nice quiet afternoon!

    Arca's Yard in Baguio offers a delightful culinary experience with delicious food and perfectly brewed coffee, though an option for iced coffee would enhance the menu. The charming ambiance, complete with a mini library and museum, creates a serene atmosphere for relaxation, despite its slightly distant location from the town center. An ideal spot for those seeking a tranquil coffee retreat. Wi-Fi ✅ Mode of Payment: Cash/Gcash

    Food serving took a litte long i think more than 50 mins , I love the pesto carbonara and the mais con yelo at first it looks like “tinipid” but actually ang sarap nya and ang daming mais they dont offer ice coffee only Hot coffee, its better to go there if you have your own car the taxi in this area sometimes refuse because of the traffic the atmosphere is very welcoming they have better table for two too in the balcony.

    I have searched for the best coffee shops in Baguio. Arcas cafe is the best in Baguio. Aside from the view, the cold ambiance is also felt. Very clean and Instagramable. On the ground floor, you can have access to the mini library while enjoying your meal. A must visit in Baguio. Prepare both cash and card for payment as sometimes, the weather causes connection problems. I loved this place.

    I always make sure I go here whenever I visit Baguio. It has everything good and it's worth every penny. The place has 2 (or 3?) floors and each floor is spacious and has a nice tiptop view. PS: You just have to ride a taxi if you're coming from town but it isn't that far.

    Fave!!!! 💯💯💯 Love the food and ambience. Not sure if you can commute from the city to go here but it’ll be very convenient if you’re bringing a car. Surprisingly, they have parking slots at the side of the road kahit nasa highway. 🫶🙌🥳

  • 5/5 Jesper B. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    Having to drink a tea with a nice view! You should also not missed their salad! They serve it really fresh! Tho the price of the foods here are on the pricy side, but I must say that it’s worth it! Visited the place here without taking a taxi and rode jeep instead. If you are traveling from Harisson, there are jeepneys their going to tiptop. Its only 20php per way.

    Food was great! But not for the hungry, will take about half an hour for your first meal. But the ambiance is great. Took us about 2 hours to stay because of the beautiful scenic view of Baguio. I suggest you get a sip of their very own, special cloud tea. 💜

  • 5/5 lyk a. 1 year ago on Google
    Great ambience. A homey restaurant with a view. Pesto carbonara is delicious. Not fan of their sliced cakes though. Limited parking space. No pets allowed. downstairs is a mini library that can accommodate customers too. They have a small balcony that has three small tables. they have al fresco dining too. Visit them when you're in town.

  • 4/5 Gen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is great. Surprised that Long Coffee was not available during our visit considering that we were there first hour of the day and Long Coffee is just espresso and water. While the store has interesting corners, its multilevel layout makes it difficult to call waitstaff. Wish they would assign a staff to stay at each level

    A Cafe restaurant promoting art and culture with a spectacular view. The food was delicious and I really loved the heart shaped cups of rice that came with the rice meals. Very cute! Really enjoyed having brunch here

    Delicious food. Friendly staff. Nice ambiance. Nice mountain view. Prep time of food is quite long so be there early. Suggestion: Add more parking

    Arca's Yard Located in Nueva Viscaya road in Baguio. Near pacdal. The place is so nice. You need to present your vaccine card. Inside this place there is an art gallery. They have paintings, cultural dress and other sculptures. Its comfortable in there place. The view outside is so amazing. Its cold in there place. But they have limited parking space. The coffee is great and also the foods.

  • 5/5 Jessica N. 2 years ago on Google
    Quiet restaurant with a great view! This is a ~15-min drive from SM Baguio and if you’re driving your own car, get ready for some steep turns and curves. No dedicated parking area. Roadside parking is limited. Interior is cozy with lots of art. They have clean comfort rooms at their main and second floor. Went there on a Friday morning and it is very quiet with few customers. Food and drinks were served quickly and the servers are very attentive. Their Cloud Tea tastes good while their iced latte tastes okay. Their longganisa is garlicky and tastes okay too. Their bagnet/lechon kawali was reallly good though! The skin is very crispy “mala-chicharon”. Their camote pie is tasty too especially if you’re into the sweet potato flavor. #whereisjecka

  • 5/5 MGM 2 years ago on Google
    We didn’t had the chance to try their food because we are going to eat somewhere. But their coffee, hot chocolate and camote pie are all good. We will come back next time to eat and stay much longer because the view is beautiful.

😠 expensive food compared to the quantity of serving portions. Great view? yes, but I can name several other restaurants in Baguio that have similar fantastic views but with relatively cheaper prices and better tasting food options. having to go that far for lunch/dinner is not worth the effort.

😠 Service is quite poor, nakalimutan na nga ni crew yung order, namali pa. Took us almost an hour waiting. Food is kinda bland especially the sweet & sour pork and chicken. The atmosphere is good though.
