tiramisú cold brew
Aika O.

i visited this location twice because there were many things on the menu i wanted to try! If only i had the time to go a third time on my trip! Tiramisu cold brew was good only i wish i had a little more cream to make the drink sweeter because i personally didn't think it to be sweet. Dalandan cold brew was interesting. Almost tasted like juice. Ube pancakes and the espresso caramel pancakes were good! I like that there was a half order option. The corned beef skillet was good but just wished there was more meat and potatoes because it was a lot of cheese lol. My brother really liked the burger! Out of all the dishes though, I liked the tapsilog the best, can never go wrong with that! The servers sweet but it's a small cafe and it gets a little busy later in the morning. I hope to come back soon to try their grilled cheese sandwiches!

The spread! Chorizo with rice and mango atchara and ube pancakes
Melissa M.

Ube was the jam (puns ) in 2022-23! I've had my share of OG ube and all the latest trendy takes on ube, particularly pancakes.. and of course.. traveling all the way to the Philippines.. Sunny Side takes the (pan)cake on having the most amazing ube pancakes I have had in my entire Filipino life. My cousin picked this place because we shared that we wanted to eat ube pancakes. Little did I know there were 2 locations. Ended up walking about 20 min from d Mall to get here (and of course it was the wrong location as my family was at the Station 1 location) but it was okay. We arrived around 8 am which was still early enough to get a table for 5 right away. I did not realize how busy or much of a talk of the country this breakfast spot was until I saw all the cool quotes and recognition on the walls and also saw the wait forming outside. Their menu is filled with so many delicious takes on traditional Filipino breakfast fused with other flavors to enhance. Their pancakes are Japanese style. Both the original and the ube were AMAZING! I highly recommend splitting an order. It also tastes great the next day reheated (ask your hotel to microwave it). I also enjoyed their takes on lattes and coffee. I opted for their chorizo dish with rice and egg. It was filling and very tasty. Service is very good and attentive. The place is small so get here early. The views are awesome and overall a place I would have breakfast at daily while in Boracay.

Heirloom Rice Horchata, Bacon and Mango Grilled Cheese, and Ube and Cereal Milk Pancakes
Taylor T.

Portions were generous and food was quite good. I don't know what kind of bacon they use for the Bacon and Mango Grilled Cheese, but it was definitely more like pork belly. It made the sandwich heavy, but the flavor was interesting. Ube pancakes were ginormous, super filling, and soft. The horchata was okay, not the best I've ever had.

Mango mimosa + summer salad + mango bacon grilled cheese
Dyoni G.

We were seated fairly quick considering it was packed. Unquie twist on flavors. Food was delicious. Staff were friendly and the environment was clean.

Ube pancakes

The ube pancakes were fire--nuff said. Be prepared for a wait; it's a small, quaint restaurant with a breathtaking view of the beach and an exhilarating ocean breeze.

The food here was great! Beautiful lunch, very filling. Service/food were fast. Will return before leaving. A gem in Boracay for sure, and its beachside!

Tapsilog
Arocel F.

Hands down, best food to be had in Boracay! Came here yesterday for a late lunch and back again for another round of lunch just now. Portions are huge, so make sure to ask if the order is for one person or two. Yesterday, my husband ordered their "kitayama beef tapsilog; I ordered "bacon & mango grilled cheese" - posting a picture of this. Definitely, two people can eat this. It was served with a thick slab of bacon, topped with mozzarella cheese & thin slices of crispy "sweet potato hay". Was delicious!! Served on two slices freshly baked toast. Just ordered "aburi aligot corned beef now. Posting pics as soon as they serve us. So so so good & worth the $$$

Wished I am a big eater to have room for more food so I can try other dishes. Just mean I'll have to be back to Boracay. Ube pancakes - WOW. two of the fluffiest pancakes in the world topped with ube sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Amazing combo. Texture, flavor and hot/cold combo in your mouth, just WOW. topsilog rice plate - comes with their rice and two sunny side up eggs. Another amazing combo. The yolk of the eggs helps the saltiness is the meat. And the rice just tames it all. Soo good. Summer salad - lettuce, mango, dressing and just fresh goodness. Refreshing on such a warm day. Vietnamese iced coffee- isn't like it at all but still creamy and flavorful with a foam topper. And anything cold is perfect for the warm weather.

Bacon and mango grilled cheese
Rita Z.

The grilled cheese and burgers are so delicious. Pancakes and pasta also good to try. But the air conditioner is like zero helped, it's hot if you eat inside

Clean. Bright and airy. We sat on the second floor where it was bright white with fun yellow chairs. The pancakes were huge and fluffy. The French toast was yummie. We didn't care for the 'syrup' as it was bitter for us. Friendly service and spectacular views.

Ube and mango pancakes! That's one pancake per plate people.

Before I write this review, I gotta high five every yelper who contributes because you guys help narrow down a good spot when you have a limited time to explore. Y'all have helped out so much in every country I've been to so far. Y'all def led me down the right path this time around here in Boracay As much as I love the typical Filipino breakfast of garlic rice and longanisa/tocino, I was craving something different for once. Something new and exciting yet uniquely Filipino. I knew I was in the right place when a quick skim through the menu left me with no less than 10 items I wanted to immediately order. Blanco adobo?? Every single grilled cheese sandwich?? WONUTS (waffle donuts)... UBE PANCAKES... heck ALL the pancakes.... pork belly sammich. I'll stay a whole week in boracay just to try all of this. This is getting long so I'll cut to the chase. They say the bacon mango jam grilled cheese sandwich is their best seller. GET THIS. I always argue with myself when it comes to what's more important in a grilled cheese sandwich, the cheese or the bread. The clear answer here is the bread. The thick slices have the perfect crunch. And the bacon slathered with mango jam go perfectly together. Pancakes - they come in two per order so you can mix and match. The number one photo that sent me to this restaurant was the Ube pancake so you're dang right if you think we ordered it. Also got the mango pancake. The table was split between which one was better, but everyone did like both. The pancakes are dense yet fluffy. I loved the Ube. Only gripe is that I wanted more Ube to go with the pancake. Mango had a lighter flavor. You can definitely share this with a table of 4 as an appetizer. Or dessert. Next time I'd like to try their wonuts. And maybe the dark chocolate grilled cheese sandwich. And I'm curious about their soy-sauce free adobo (sounds blasphemous but I'm morbidly curious). Can't wait to visit Boracay again!!

Waffle Puff
Stephanie W.

Thinking of this adorable spot that Many of our friends recommended. My husband and I came here on our first day in Boracay. I order the Tapsilog, portions were big. We saw someone get the Ube pancakes, slight regret because legit IG worthy, and from seeing the reactions others had, definitely tasty as well. It was pouring out so we stayed for dessert. The Wafflepuff, definitely was the perfect ending to a perfect Brunch. Was not too sweet and really was a but too beautiful to want to take a bite.b

Lemoni Cafe is a cute cafe and restaurant nestled in a sweet spot in the D Mall on Boracay island…read more Don't be fooled by the small footprint of this little business that's tucked deep inside of the popular D Mall. This little joint features a bakery on the second floor that's used to bake some tasty treats for customers daily. They do take credit cards. I recommend trying out their fresh treats baked daily if you're ever on Boracay. The shop was featured in a Filipino drama I watched awhile back that I can't recall the name of and ironically my girl is ironically obsessed with this place as well.

First off they take credit card. That has to be a huge win since so many places on the islands only…read moretake cash. You are immediately welcomed by the friendly staff and the local cats sleeping the chairs so make sure to watch where you sit. It is all open air so you get to see the views of D'Mall as people walk around. The table has a massive fresh flower that the staff immediately moves so you can see the people you are with. The first day I got the risotto and it was so good. Generous portion and a great strong latte. They give you fresh lemon water and make sure you have what you need. We had to go a second day and they make a great latte and skashuka. We all had a great time and if we were there would have gone more.
