"Good food, nice staff, good coffee and beautiful location with lots of green and next to the beach. One star less because the shakes were served in a plastic cup - from my perspective a no go for dining in."

"Went to this place on a Tuesday afternoon and only other two people were there. Stayed beside the beach and paid ₱300/head, consumable. Perfect if you want to swim and have privacy. Food and drinks were great. We ordered spanish latte, sangria, and blueberry soufflé pancakes. I recommend to order the soufflé beforehand because it took about 30 minutes."

"We love Kofi the dog, he is the 10-star for me. I love the vibe there, I love the artworks displayed there, the brutalist-minimalist interior and the greeneries. Food was just okay. The staff were friendly, the wifi was working well, the view of the beach was nice and I would love to visit again and try their coffee."

"Open gate to the beach at the end of Taft (Jacinto) St in Dauin Poblacion. Food attendants informs customers which food items are available on the menu. Food items are prepared well with good flavor. The real gem is that the property has a proper beach front, maintained grounds, and a friendly golden retriever. Update: If you are a non-pork eater, advise staff to take off bacon from the grilled cheese sandwich."

"Very nice place with great view over the ocean. It was quiet middle of the day. Good coffee and well prepared Tortang Talong (eggplant with eggs). Also service was friendly and attentive."

"A beautiful cafe cocooned by lush greenery. Impressive architecture- very minimal but very bold. Also love the placement of the tropical plants around the property. It gives drama to the dark gray building by adding pops of greens and oranges and reds. Coffee is the ultimate winner! Super good brew! Food is also good."
