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! :-)

Thinking it would be closed they were open ! My experience was incredible . The owner welcomed me and my girl in.

We ended up staying for 3 hours just talking and informing us about coffee and the difference taste and making ! There's all types of coffee and they even roast their own coffee beans! It was so good I had 4 different taste of coffee . I believe this is the best coffee I've ever tasted , especially in the Philippines ! Thank you for the information I learned from him about coffee my taste with coffee will never be the same :)

By far, my favorite cute little coffeeshop and cafe here in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Coming here…read morealmost everyday throughout my stay in the main city was definitely a treat with the local staff's friendliness and upbeat attitude. We got exceptional attentiveness with the quality dishes and delectable drinks and desserts. Not to mention the cute and clean interior. Coming to Eightynine Cafe with a tricycle was difficult because most locals couldn't find it, but since it's located on the main road of Rizal, it is easy to find without precise directions. Located next to a local hotel with tourists, this cafe is new and modern with brown wooden tables and chairs. Its homey feel is more catered to tourists and millennials. The food items they serve are innovative and fun from inspirations from various countries like Indonesian to French with a Filipino twist. It is the top pick for specialty coffee to food bloggers. I love their Spambol and its katsu-like take on spam. You think it's like a spamsilog, but it's definitely a special breaded spam. Everything has a beautiful but simple presentation. Ask for garlic rice if needed but it might be an additional $$ to the bill, though it was well worth it. I felt like I was in a local cozy Taiwanese cafe. The drinks are definitely a main thing to get in this cafe. The latte art is exceptional when they design it. Try all the special coffee like the Charcoal Latte or the Yuen Yueng. Wifi available. No CR. Go outside of the cafe to the hotel. There's no toilet paper so bring your own wipes. Cash only. Open decently late. Mangaon ta!

The atmosphere is similar to a Starbucks or other American chain or even a Bo's, but with their signature Palawan flair. The drink selection is great, fulfilling your coffee needs as well as other sweet drinks. The coffee is definitely not powdered coffee but true strong brewed espresso based drinks. I found that ordering their Americano with their black velvet cake made the experience more fulfilling! Wifi available. CR available. Mangaon ta!

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!

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.

The boat ride into the Underground River is equal parts peaceful and awe-inspiring, with limestone formations that look like something out of a fantasy film. Stalactites and stalagmites twist and stretch in eerie, beautiful shapes -- your guide will point out ones that look like the Holy Family, vegetables, and even a T-Rex. The experience is incredibly well-organized. From Sabang Wharf, you'll take a short boat ride to the park entrance, followed by a quick scenic walk through the jungle (keep an eye out for monkeys and monitor lizards). The underground portion lasts about 45 minutes, with an audio guide in your language of choice -- helpful for learning without interrupting the cave's stillness. Pro tips: Wear sandals or waterproof shoes -- it can get muddy. Bring a light jacket or scarf -- it's cool inside the cave. Book ahead -- the number of visitors per day is limited, and it fills up fast. Whether you're into geology, nature, or just once-in-a-lifetime experiences, this is a must-do while in Palawan. Quiet, majestic, and truly one of the most unique tours in the Philippines.

Based on the name, I thought we would be visiting a place where there would be plenty of bakeries. This turned out not to be the case. Although, there was a bakery there. We made sure to stop into the bakery before leaving. Turns out that Baker's Hill is a tourist attraction. Plenty of photo opportunities throughout the property. Lots of cool statues of animals and cartoon characters. They have an aviary filled with peacocks. There is also a viewing deck at Baker's Hill from which you can see the beautiful view surrounding the area. Purchased the following items at the bakery: Cashew Polvoron Hopia Mongo Royal Soda Barquillos Yema Tarts All were good. The Hopia Mongo was my favorite item that we got. Baker's Hill is a fine place to check out when traveling to Puerto Princesa in Palawan. Have fun!!

I've been to this town before and did the underground cavern kayaking and didn't feel the need to do it again. So being a homebody I figured I'd have a normal day- not a day full of sightseeing, but a day of going to the supermarket, grab some cold and flu supplies for the parents who stayed on the cruise ship, and maybe get some KFC. And that day rocked. I like feeling normal rather than being a tourist who feels the need to drink everything in. However, I had a driver and lots of time on my hands, so why not do something touristy? Off to Baker's Hill we went. It was a little scary because it's out in the sticks and there was construction on the road that made it muddy on a rainy day. My driver pushed on and pulled up to this little village in the middle of nowhere and this place was kooky. Baker's Hill is this Instagrammy slice of heaven- lots of fiberglass statues of Marilyn Monroe, Shrek and family, those italian chef things you might find in a suburban kitchen that holds a menu. Nice gardens too. Even in the rain it was nice to look around. They have a stand for boba tea, a couple of places where you can sit and have snacks or a table service meal. And at the exit they sell Filipino baked goods. I got some biscotti, spicy dillis, and some hopia along with other treats. They don't have much in the way of souvenirs other than t-shirts (I'm a sticker girl, so they didn't have anything for me) but that's okay. It took me about 20 mins to look around and buy my treats, then back to the van to enjoy more of normality.
