    I like their lengua estofada. But the taste and texture has changed recently. Still good but not better

    I purchased the ube cake as a bday gift for a friend and it was such a disappointment. The sponge cake feels like an ordinary bread, when you slice it everything crumbles. Taste was very poor too. Fudgee bar could certainly compete. I suggest buying wattatop cakes if the purpose is only to have something to blow. Way way better. And to make things worst, i complained the next day, the staffs were nice, i was given assurance by the mgt that it would be replaced but never happened, only wasted my time. To make things worst, they told me to bring back a slice for reference. I could see all the staff tasted it. Dont you guys observe sanitation? What if the cake was already contaminated or something was on it? Tsk tsk tsk..

    Bascon Cafe. A sure place for all day breakfast, Eggs Benedict is my pick. Pesto pasta, Dinuguan, anchovies pizza also stands out. Located along 27th st.

    Comfort food. Tradition. These are what come to mind when I visit Bascon Cafe. There was a time when I would literally eat here with family almost everyday and Mr Bascon would still visit the restaurant from time to time. He would ask how we are and give my youngest a candy bar. He connects with customers and this makes tou feel valued. He's old now and times have changed. Hope though that service and quality food aren't forgotten in the restaurant. The crew has to be reminded of what the Bascon stands for in the performance of their jobs.

    Good place, delicious food, great coffee, and superb service. So far, I tried the tocino meal when we visited and it was delicious. They also serve pastries and cakes. The place is limited though and it may be difficult to get a set when it's crowded.

    Place was packed even at 11am but staff managed to handle orders and served it immediately. Recommended if you want to eat good food with your family for lunch or dinner.

  • 3/5 Boots M. 6 years ago on Google
    This used to be the nightlife central of Bacolod with various bars all over but a lot of those are closed already. Beni's Cafe also closed. Merkado Organic restaurant is still there and Miren as well. If you also like inasal, Chicken house is still open and operating.

  • 5/5 Danstone Guy D. 6 years ago on Google

    Miren's, Merkado and Bacolod Chicken house are the only good places here. The complex itself is pretty unkept

    The place to be.

  • 3/5 Joan of A. 5 years ago on Google
    Not as alive as before but also.not as wild. Most shops and bars have closed down. Crowd has mellowed down a lot. Security also helps lower crime incidents from young customers.

  • 4/5 KM G. 7 years ago on Google
    a go-to place to hang out at night with friends. bar hopping made easy since there's a lot of establishments in one area. tends to be wayyy crowded on weekends and very quiet on weekdays.

  • 4/5 Choy 9. 7 months ago on Google
    For early risers who want to get a good breakfast, the choices are abit limited in Bacolod. Bascon is a safe place for a good meal. They open earlier than most. We checked and most stores open at 9am or 10am. We tried a variety. We tried the native chorizo which was recommended. Their smoked Bangus was huge. All bfast is served with two mini rice cups. Their Eggs Benedict was also sublime. We went here again but it was full. So call beforehand if they have tables or have a good 2nd option. Service was ok. Felt that the staff was tired because of how they talked, acted and served. Maybe it was a slow day for them.

  • 5/5 Nero F. 11 months ago on Google

  • 2/5 Billy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad Service ------'xThe interior was New but was dissapointed to the 4 staff in the Coffee Bar they dont pay attention ones the guest just came. Need to raised my hand 4 times to be notice. I knew that one guy saw me but did not do anything ,or ask someone to assist me i do think his job was a coffee maker only & pretend did not saw me waived . Atlast one guy approche me the Chubby person (Sorry !did not get his name) When i had my food and finish again need to raised hand for almost 6 times . Again 4 people in the Bar 2 Ladys and 2 men . The Lady whos not on her uniform was more attentive to ask how to do or make Coffee it was like Coffee class with the other person whos knowlegable with the Machine. It was like a session "How to make a coffe" rather to be attentive to its guest the Restaurant was so small not to be Notice if they are attentive !!!! So insted i raised again my hand need to call them loud by far if i could have the Bill. And apprently the 2 table look at me having with a loud voice. Good thing the Chubby guy came , did not get his name & inform him ,that so dissapointed with the 4 people busy on how to make coffe instend one of them should do eye what might guest need. Good thing. The Chubby waiter (sorry! did not got his name) appologize to me . I did let him know what his other co worker busy all about!!!!!

    Love this place for their food and desserts. One of the best cafes and pastries shops in Bacolod. Cozy place and accommodating staff. Baba cake is a must try for their cakes. Even my niece in Manila will request for their cakes as pasalubong.

  • 4/5 Maria Socorro C. Q. 5 years ago on Google
    The buffet served for lunch was very good... for a cost of 350 per person, its already worth it

  • 5/5 Loven R. 5 years ago on Google
    Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Bascon, a true Bacolod institution which my friends have been raving about and it didn't disappoint. Had their allo oglio pasta as well as the bangus and their other specialties like the chicken relleno which my family enjoyed. Although the place in itself looks tired and in dire need of an update, we surely had a great time still. Highly recommended. We were stuffed to the brim.so we didn't have any space for their desserts but there's always a next time!

  • 5/5 Dennis B. 3 years ago on Google
    Throughout the years, the quality of their food has never disappointed me. In fact, they are always improving.

    Used to be the center of night life in Bacolod. A must visit if you're a tourist since the place has murals all over. Good for your instagram photos and only a few people around during daytime.

    (Translated by Google) Nice home-style cafe open early. With an extensive menu for a big breakfast and at the end many cakes to finish with a sugar rush. The prices seemed quite adequate. The service has also been good (Original) Cafetería agradable de ambiente hogareño abierta desde muy temprano.

👍 Bacolod City is such a sugarland, and Calea is one strong proof of that. Cakes, coffee, and comfort—all in one beautiful place. Just be ready for instant saccharine rush. My first pecan pie experience was here and it’s glorious in the mouth!
