I have discovered the finest coffee roaster in Palawan, perhaps in all the Philippines! The best…read morecoffee in Puerto Princesa. The proprietor, Banch, really knows his coffee. He also took the time to ask me exactly how I like my coffee as well as what kind, flavors, brewing method, everything! Armed with that information, he created a remarkably enjoyable coffee experience that this well-traveled coffee lover will never forget. Tucked down the alley next to the "Dreamcare Massage" sign and across the street from Pinoy Litson Manok, this place is definitely worth seeking out. They roast themselves a variety of origins, including local Philippine coffee, and have desserts and snacks as well. Enjoy your coffee! :-)

Who knew I could find a Seattle's Best in the Philippines, let alone in Palawan!…read more I had an early flight back to Manila so I was at Puerto Princessa's airport bright and early. We were up too early for out hotel's breakfast so we missed breakfast completely. I was crossing my fingers for good options at the airport, although I knew that it would be a small airport and my options would be limited. After checking in, I sat down at the terminal and looked around, most shops were small and sold souvenirs. It seemed like there was no coffee in sight! After looking around, I realized that the food options were upstairs and offered 3 cafe's and one waffle stand. To my surprise, one of the options was SBC! I am used to seeing Starbucks everywhere but not SBC. I decided to give it a shot and it did not disappoint! I ordered a small coffee to get me going, but the selections were endless. There were a lot of 'frappuccino' like beverages and flavored lattes to try. My coffee was great and the small seating space was comfortable. I also enjoyed that the cafe's were on the second level, it was a great place to people watch!

My friend and I went here during our stay in Puerto Princesa. This art cafe was highly recommend to…read moreus by a friend who lived in Palawan at the time. Among all the restaurants in the "mini mall", Gypsy's Lair Art Cafe stands out because of its unique architectural design; the artsy and bright decor is inviting and interesting. :) The cafe is a bit off from the main road in Puerto Princesa. So, it is quite far from the other well-known restaurants. But, it is worth going to. Once you enter the place, you'll see many quirky artworks all over the walls, stairs...everywhere! Although my friend and I only stayed for dinner and a few drinks, this would be a good place to chill out either alone or with friends. The food did not disappointment. They have a variety of food to choose from. So, we asked the waiter for his recommendations. We tried their best-seller, the Ribs, which were very tender and the serving was enough for 2 people. Other dishes we tried were the Chicken Burrito (served fresh with salsa verde), Pin-Thai (the pinoy version of Pad Thai) and Tom Yum Soup (just the right amount of spicyness and sweetness, I finished that all by myself). Try their Pandan shake and Guyabano shake! Great way to quench your thirst on a hot day. :) Overall, this is really a great place to dine and watch the minutes go by. Nice upbeat music, good menu options and quick service are the highlights. It's a cozy place and one of the places you must visit in Puerto Princesa! :)

We had the fried fish sandwich, green curry, and a ground beef dish I don't remember the name of. All were complex, flavorful, and well balanced. Didn't try the Mexican food but I think it would be a safe bet. Try it, you won't regret it. This place would be at home on Ventura Blvd or Melrose.

Theres plenty of seating and wifi inside. The airconditioning works well which made it feel nice. Some back round music to help past the time. The coffee was good. I ordered the americano which came out strong and black and hot. I also ordereda rasberry muffin which was way to hard like it was cooked the previous night or 2 ago, wasent good at all. They had other pastries and hot food as well on their menu and plenty of coffee and noncoffee drinks on the menu as well. Overall its a good place to sit, catch up on emails or waste some time if you get to the airport too early. The vibe too was soothing, with coffee aromas in the air, and the chill music in the background.

They also sell coffee and food. It took us a while to get our order in because for some reason the waitress didn't come to us until we flagged her down.
