Cute place with tons of good and affordable coffee…read more It's my third day in Dumaguete and found this hidden gem on my way back to my hotel. The place reminds me of Alice in Wonderland with a dreamy vibe. It's spacious and offers both food and coffee, which is not what I'm used to. The coffee here is really good. I got a cappuccino and it's really good - cheap too. I'm used to paying $3-5 for my cappuccino so 65p for quality like this is crazy. It's comparable. I'll definitely be back again.

This charming little place should have a thousand reviews. I stayed in Dumaguete for some weeks in…read moreMarch 2019 and was busy drafting an appellate brief for a certain state court of appeals in the United States. Thus, I needed a place to work. Staff were very accommodating and friendly: they talked when I wanted to chat, they didn't complain if I ordered an inexpensive drink (tropical punch) and stayed for two hours, and they didn't mind that I used WiFi and plugged in my laptop while deep in thought. The library-like quality of the cafe's many books is a nice touch, I must say, and the upper level is just as charming as the lower.

I first heard about this establishment through a friend's post on social media. I had the…read moreopportunity to be invited then by one of my close friends to try the place out last Oct 20th. Its location is in a corner in the heart of Butuan city. When we got there the place has this chic atmosphere to it. I couldn't wait to try this place. So here it goes... You can feel a slice of history by just looking at the walls of the cafe. The antiques and artworks are part of the collection of the owner's family. The table and chairs are not your typical cafe furniture. It complemented the decor perfectly. I can still vividly remember my friend enjoying the antiques all around the place. The cafe doesn't have a WiFi connection to encourage patrons to have a better connection with each other through physical communication. My friends ordered americanos while I tried their cappuccino. I am not a huge fan of coffee because I dislike bitter beverages, hot or cold. Now you must be thinking why am I even reviewing the cafe if that is the case. My friends managed to convince me that I can lose weight faster by removing all the sugar and sweets in my diet and to try sugar less coffee without cream. I wasn't ready for that yet, so I ordered the one with latte but at least try it with no sugar. To my surprise the coffee I tasted was smooth and only slightly bitter. My friend explained that flavorful and delicious coffee is not bitter. I'll take his word for it since I'm not an expert. But this experience definitely changed my whole outlook on coffee. Coffee can be enjoyed if the cafe ith came from, expertly made it. I am now a fan. We also ordered some desserts, the Arroz Turrones, a dish served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and (pilit) sticky rice rolled and fried (I'm not really sure of the process I just describe it as I see it). I'm sure the dish is fine and delicious but I'm not a fan of sugarless sticky rice, but that's just my personal preference. We also ordered "palagsing", a brown, sticky suman, made of sago starch (Unaw), young coconut meat and sugar. The dish was served on a small plate, there were 2 pieces of heated palagsing sprinkled with grated cheese and coconut. The palagsing is not made in-house but ordered from a maker in Banza, Butuan city. It was the first time I enjoyed palagsing since I always prefer the suman made from sticky rice (budbod). We enjoyed the coffee and desserts as well as the excellent customer service that the cafe provided. The servers are alert and service was always with a smile. The owner/manager takes the time to visit tables to ask direct feedback from the customers. This shows us the degree of dedication, passion and professionalism of the owner. Their prices are slightly expensive compared to other coffee shops but that is to be expected since we can see, taste, and feel the excellent quality and service that we paid for. We had an amazing experience, but don't take my word for it, try it yourselves. P.S. Since the writing of this review I have been back 3 times, the third time being this morning but only for take out since I was in a hurry. Rating: Taste: Excellent coffee and desserts. Their coffee is heaven in a cup. Price: Excellent; you get exactly what you paid for Decor: Excellent; I'm not expert in interior design but the decor really adds to the appeal of the place. Ambience: Excellent; you can truly enjoy chatting with friends or even alone sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying the decor.

Of course, there is no comparison to the Vietnamese restaurants here in the SF Bay Area, especially…read morethe phó. Thus, the four stars. But, I extremely enjoyed our dinner here. Perhaps, my happy experience was because of our company of friends and their families/teens, but it was also due to a few notable dishes. One that left a good memory on my palate was their pomelo salad. I constantly think of it and want to enjoy it - again and again! Service was friendly and attentive. Since returning home, I have been searching for a version of this dish among the local Vietnamese places but to no avail. We will definitely return to Rau Ram when we visit Bacolod again.

We came here to the outskirts of Panglao out of the Alona Beach area in search of a new restaurant. Here is Ubeco. It isn't your typical eatery in the area. Super minimalist and classy in style for that great picture-worthiness. The bathrooms also have that simple but clean touch that just makes you feel at home. The customer service of our waitresses was definitely a plus. I'd come back in a heartbeat if only it wasn't so remote from the tourist town. Food is definitely healthy in the salad choices from mango to shrimp salad bowls. If you're looking for Filipino food, unfortunately, this place is not for you. I wanted so much to eat traditional food in a homey space but fortunately I enjoyed my selection of greens that I totally forgot that I was even in the Philippines. They do use tropical ingredients from the island though so it still feels beachy. I loved my milk tea as well. The flavors were soft and not empowering like powdered milk teas. The Alona Sunset was good too but I'm not too into "ade" types of drinks. Very beautiful presentation as well. Overall, a must for any foodie looking for a great ambience in Bohol. CR available with toilet paper and soap! Yehey! Wifi available. Good space for working. Cash only. Mangaon ta!

If you're looking for a driftwood paradise with delicious food and happen to be on Camiguin Island,…read morePhilippines, you should swing by the Beehive Driftwood Café. Been a favorite of mine since I discovered it in... 2016, I think. It is still as charming as ever, although they don't have the macadamia nut coffee anymore that kept me coming back. This beehive driftwood Café offers a good variety of cuisine on the menu and is definitely a relaxed destination. Don't expect your food to arrive in 20 minutes, but do expect to be completely tranquil as you watch the waves crash the rocky beautiful shore and appreciate the bountiful driftwood and tile art. I'm writing this review really quick since I noticed it doesn't have a review. I'll try to come back and add more later when I'm back home. ;-) Definitely see ya there, when I'm here!

We got up and left quickly after we finished, as one group of people was starting to get rowdy.
