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.

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.

Coffee came with order, we said we don't drink coffee and insisted it comes with coffee. We said again we don't drink coffee and said we will have tea. He said it does not come free the tea. We showed him on the menu that it did. I had the banger breakfast. Didn't want the beans and asked for a 2nd sausage. They said I can't and I said I'll pay for it. She said I'd have to order a whole meal to get it. Food was good, scrambled eggs is a little bit watery, but overall the food was OK. The ambiance was very nice cosy right type of lighting atmosphere was calm. I would probably come back here again maybe
