    Delicious and affordable coffee. Coffee prices start from 95 PHP. We enjoyed media puro (strong black coffee) that was really good. Great interior. Nice vibe.

    5 stars! Satisfaction fulfilled. I told myself, I should not miss Madge next time I visit Iloilo. They have the original and traditional legacy of true native brewing. Love this.

    Your typical homey coffee shop but I do honor this café’s history. Their shop is full of quotes all over the shop which is very old Pinoy aesthetic. Their main coffee is so-so but I really enjoyed my stay in this shop while waiting for my hotel checkin. Can recommend to other tourists.

    Good food and drinks... There are modern day expectations of a cafe that are not met. There is no wifi and charging your phone costs P50 (should be free or, at least, minimal.) Cafe aesthetic does not fall under the category of what's traditionally beautiful.

    Dessert place showcasing the owner’s mug collection. You can also have a mug personalised here. It serves cakes and hot beverages. Personal fave is carrot cake with not too sweet cream cheese frosting. More expensive than other local coffee shops.

    Definitely the best coffee I’ve tried in Iloilo. Had visited back again before I left Iloilo.

    gives off a retro cafe vibe and when you enter, it smells like left over soot but the smell is caused by their traditional way of brewing coffee. The coffee i chose was the regular native and as a stand alone it is already good by itself. I havent tried their cakes yet but i believe they will pair well with the native coffee. they also sell kakanins but i have not tried it yet. Be wary because the caffeine content is high compared to the usual brewed coffee, i would definitely try again but this time ill try the strong native coffee but ill pair it with sweets this time and take it earlier during the day just in case. 10/10 would return and try other delicacies

    Madge's signature coffee with puto - a great combo! This place is now buzzing with customers. I ordered hot nai cha for a change. But the cold version arrived. Good they changed it. It was good but too sweet.

    Friendly staff, medyo crowded and popular. Well rounded menu for all to enjoy. I have not been disappointed yet. Iced mochas is my favorite, mais con yelois good. Tuna sandwich is yummy as is the native chicken adobo. I tried the Pecan Cheesecake... Wow, I have a new favorite... This has a decadent balance between sweet and salty in a cheesecake. Also, their burger with fries... Surprisingly it has garlic blended into the ground beef... I feel it's like the perfect comfort food...

    Went here for 2 consecutive days and ordered Media Regular and Media Cafe. Both were really good and had a unique taste for coffee. Their blueberry cheesecake was also good, which was also the reason why we went here twice during our trip. They don’t have wifi and they charge 50Php/hr for use of their sockets which is kinda pricey.

    Came here after reading about the classic way of preparing their coffee. Did not disappoint. Coffee is great and native delicacies are offered. Ambience is great for studying, meeting or just hanging out. Note that the prices here are double compared to their original branch in lapaz market

    Offers both indoor and outdoor dining. Typical Ayala design. Cozy place. Haven't tried working there but they have outlets for laptops which I suppose are free from additional charges (🤔🤔). Overall, an afternoon stroll going there to end the day with a cup of coffee with some friends is a must-experience.

  • 5/5 Kierthas 3 years ago on Google
    Place has a very homy feel. I recommend the dark chocolate cake and iced macchiato. They also occasionally serve cakes from Calea!

  • 4/5 Winnie A. 4 months ago on Google
    Nice place, a lot of seats to accommodate customers and I love the warm aesthetic here. Drinks and beverage are good for its price. In SB what I ordered will probably be around 500, but only spent 300 PHP here with coffee, cake and their local bread.

  • 4/5 Fernando Zablan J. 5 months ago on Google
    I just ordered their blueberry frappe, it tasted good and not too sweet and just the right sour taste, but it took a while to serve.

  • 4/5 Jay Florence D. 1 year ago on Google
    Their cafe puro in ice is a must try.

    Food -quality (8.5/10) -taste (8.5/10) -price (8/10) -presentation (8/10) Place -ambiance (9/10) -cleanliness (9.5/10) Bathroom (common) -with tissue (yes) Parking -ample Staff -friendly Must try: Iced coffee We ordered their longganisa meal (9/10), beef tapa (9/10), tinolang manok, cucumber lemonade (10/10) and iced coffee. Our order took too long to arrive since the place was packed. Understandable since it was Dinagyang and lunch time. Their meals are kinda pricey. Can't wait to visit their branch in Lapaz market when they reopen.

    It's a place that you can't miss when you want legit coffee in town. They are one of the shops who brew their coffee traditionally and you can taste in on the first sip. The serves are approachable and friendly so don't hesitate to ask questions.
