    Good vegan options! And prices are decent. Amaretto sour on happy hours 95 pesos were delicious and they had live music with people going up to sing karaoke, who were really good!

    Good vibe and friendly staff. While I found food just good, fifth star for morning ambience and real coffee. Loved the smoothies as well. Filipino meats too sweet and too fatty but international dish (quinoa) was very good. Recommend and would return.

    Nice Café with good coffee and food. Bacon was a little bit cold unfortunately. Flat White (Cappuccino with 2 espresso) was very good but double the price.

    Foods and drinks are really good. Very friendly people including the staffs and the owner. Fast service and good customer service. (Story Time : I ordered orange juice but it wasn't available so I suggested to have a shake instead, because I am craving for orange drinks, but the owner let me know that it might not work. He said that it may cause stomach problems.) Just sharing because it means alot for the customers if the crews/owner will think about the health of the customers.

    The food here was great! We ate our lunch & breakfast here. Their staff were friendly and accommodating as well. Their Amaretto Sour was good for its price as well. One of our favorite restaurants during our stay in Moalboal 😁

    A nice place for a quick coffee, or to pull your laptop out and get some work done. The coffee beans they use are really good, but the names on the menu do not 100% correspond to what they should be (Cortado was more of a flat white). Regardless, nice coffee, and complimentary water.

    My favorite coffee shop on the entire island! The coffee is quality and well made with quite a few options, and the food is delicious. They have many vegan and vegetarian options. The seating area is cozy and small with great vibes. And very importantly, it’s a great place to work! The WiFi is the fastest for miles around, and there are plenty of electrical outlets.

    Coffee was not good, my husband and I tried it twice but it didn't get better. The Chicken Shawarma was nice and the Quinoa Salad was okay but nothing special. Overall vibe of the shop was just OK however I appreciate it having the open space. Bit overrated in my honest opinion.

    I went to the restaurant early in the morning and had breakfast. The bread was very delicious and the sausage was fine. There was a little lack of vegetables, but I could eat a hearty meal. Mango juice was also great. It is a good place to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.

    Clean, good service, good food. Bar tables were a little uncomfortable for a shorter person but definitely a must try. Chicken tostadas wound have been excellent if they had fresh spicy salsa. I think the tostadas were homemade. The fresh fruit juice were also good. Not that sweet.

    A really nice location for any time of day. We went there for lunch and were delighted. Very tasty flat white and small dishes. We went back again in the evening. There was a live band. The service was good, the prices are great for the service you get. An absolute recommendation if you are in Moalboal.

    Arrived at 645am for breakfast and the staff seemed sleepy 😴 maybe too early for them hahaha. Coffee was good! Definitely needs some improvement for the food though. Would be great if the bun comes with some butter 😂

  • 5/5 Papuas K. 10 months ago on Google
    The place has a good vibe, live music and varied menu with vegetarian options. The chicken burger was delicious, hummus wasn’t to my taste and falafel burger was ok. Cocktails are good and strong 😃. Overall, I enjoyed and came back twice.

  • 5/5 Raine L. 11 months ago on Google
    I’ve been here a few times already and I really love the chill vibes of this place, friendly & accommodating staff. The food is great too! Loved their Quinoa Salad!

  • 5/5 Mark A. 9 months ago on Google
    A small, simple and island vibe resto. They have amazing and tasty Vulcanic Eruption Snow Ice dessert. They also have a unique and creamy Coconut Milk Coffee Latte.

  • 5/5 Priska S. 8 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend This bar is the ultimative bar everyone has to join during their trip to moalboal. Not only foreigner’sapwnd their evening here, even Philippines joining this place. In the evening there is a live band and during the day good breakfast and nice working space. The food is very nice and western. But the biggest difference are the stuff. They are so positive and welcoming. Chris the barista and bartender Marco, Marc the chef with his crew and many more. I will also never forget the friendly sweet service Christine and Jisel. They all are the souls of this cafe and bring the positive vibes and the party mood in the evening. Especially the bartender Marco is a great dancer while he is mixing cocktails and brings everyone in dance mood 🕺🏽 Now they all my friends and I am totally in love with this place.

    Great coffee and fresh fruit juices! I wish they had oat milk but they make a great flat white and cappuccino with the soy milk they offer as an alternative. Also, good food with vegetarian and vegan options. They are also happy to remove meat from non-veg options.

  • 5/5 Benjamin T. 5 months ago on Google
    Amongst the very best food in Moalboal. Had crepes and Eggs Benedict Waffle. Everything was impeccable, including the service. The wait staff even entertained a fellow diner’s baby while they ate! A happy and hardworking staff indicates excellent leadership.

  • 5/5 Wan Q. 5 months ago on Google
    Good vibes! Love coming here for breakfast. The carrot cake is so good - moist and not too sweet. The chicken and waffle is not good though, chicken is mostly skin and waffle is sour. Bar seats can be a little uncomfortable, but not bad at all.

  • 4/5 Haziq H. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s one of the best cafe in cebu, moalboal. I was here for lunch and I had pizza and chicken fingers. The pizza was good and the chicken fingers was alright. If you come here at night there is a live band performing. The price is pretty decent as compare to the bar opposite called Isla bar. Overall, it’s a good place for lunch and dinner. 🤗

  • 5/5 Christian D. 4 months ago on Google
    Five stars for you ! We went to this cafe four times for brunch and the afternoon coffee. Service and food is great. Especially the mango crepe with some super tasty curd is mouthwatering.

  • 5/5 Chloe D. 5 months ago on Google
    We have only been in Moalboal for 2 out of 4 days and this is our third visit. The decor is super modern and it was right behind our guesthouse. The food is incredible, the drinks are really reasonable price and the staff are so friendly (my partner even got offered a lift to the hospital from one of the waiters). The live music isn’t to be missed. Definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Rodolphe B. 6 months ago on Google
    Great spot, this café/bar has a touch of sophistication that most of the place here are badly lacking of. It’s well designed and decorated, a bit like a Starbucks coffee. Was there at night, food and cocktails were pretty nice, and there was a band

  • 5/5 Mai B. 5 months ago on Google
    I love this place! The vibe is amazing with the live music, the staff are extremely friendly, and the food is delicious! We wanted to explore new food places but kept coming back here because nothing compared. Everything tasted very fresh. The cocktails are also amazing!

  • 3/5 Mia N. 11 months ago on Google
    Went here for breakfast and dinner - breakfast was bland, however the vegan burger was very nice and there are lots of vegan burger options! The atmosphere at night is very good with great live music. The staff on the other hand were not very friendly

  • 5/5 Roschelle E. 11 months ago on Google
    The place is super clean and all staff was very friendly and helpful! We had the strawberry crepes and mango salad. The mango shake was wonderful and the Coffee was the best I’ve had on the island. They know how to make a latte !

  • 4/5 Sarah Tang (. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm a foreigner. I'm giving you three stars as your cake was dry like chalk. Even though it's banana cake, my god, hard to swallow this dry cake. We loved your french fries with the dip and your flat pizza with the barbecue sauce drizzled all over it. Love the live music and great coffee too in the morning. You got some amazing friendly staffs!

  • 5/5 Ben W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nicely decorated place that serves good meals for a very reasonable price. I tried the wraps and pizza. The Chicken Shawarma Pizza is my favourite, but my friend also really enjoyed the Salami Milano Pizza. We also had potato wedges and for just 95 pesos its a very generous portion. You can tell they are home made and it comes with a nice mayo dip. Highly recommend them as a side dish! Not a coffee drinker myself but they had plenty of different coffee and other drinks available too.

  • 5/5 Alieth B. 2 years ago on Google
    Its’ the perfect facility for nomads and visitors, the ambiance is 10/10. Its so spacious and have lots of plants that I love, specially Sampaguita cant wait to come back and see it crawling on their fence with a very distinct fragrance🌸 Their coffee is okay, food options is a lot, they have healthy drinks and smoothies too, their furnitures is aesthetically well organized and nicely designed. The set-up is perfect for an island style co living co working space. Their toilet is also unique. Their is good flow of air, ventilation is nicely executed.

  • 4/5 Anthony T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and very attentive. They even asked us what type of music we wanted to listen during our dinner. We tried a variety of hotdogs and it was worth every penny. Will come back soon!

  • 5/5 kenneth anthony c. 1 year ago on Google

    One of the best mango juices I've had in the Philippines! Lots of fruit, little (no?) ice and a very reasonable price! Love it!

  • 5/5 Olha V. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing coffee shop during the day and cozy cocktail bar in the evening. Delicious breakfast, one of the best macchiato we had in the Philippines and nice beach vibe

  • 5/5 Joy S. 2 years ago on Google
    This review is on the coffee cocktails - and they were delicious! Cute space, friendly bartender - We had the one with tequila and the other cocktail that included Frangelico & Baileys (which was on the sweeter side). Both tasty dessert like nightcaps after a day of diving. I’d love to return and try their crepe next time - have only heard good things!

  • 5/5 Sangmin P. 4 years ago on Google
    I came here 2 times. One for drinking, and one for breakfast. This place is so good for drinking beer and coffee. Clerks are so kind and food is so great. Especially Cold brew is so great. I wish I could come here again.

  • 5/5 Michael R. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a welcome change here. Good ambience, very friendly service and, above all, very good coffee in all variations and the espresso is great. The range of cakes is also impressive. Definitely always worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Sean D. 4 years ago on Google
    Went to smooth cafe for lunch. Excellent coffee and very tasty food. I had the bacon and egg wrap and my friends had the onion bhaji with sweet potato fries. Everyone was satisfied. Can be quite loud as it is beside a busy road. I'll be back

  • 5/5 J V. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place for chilling, working because they have sockets (idk if they have wifi), and have some good food! Most of all, they have vegan food options!!! 😍😍😍

  • 4/5 Rachel T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and food, a bit pricey. Love the chocolate.
