This cabin-themed cafe has quickly become a must-visit for many since it opened in 2021. Every spot at Loghouse Cafe is just so Instagram-worthy. The cafe's inside feels so cosy with the wood interiors, and the outdoors provides a fresh, cooling breeze while surrounded by pine trees. When it comes to their menu, you will be spoilt for choices. Ranging from pasta, burgers, and sandwiches to freshly baked pastries and not forgetting a wide selection of beverages too.
Go for the Longhouse Special (P465), which has slices of Excellente Ham drizzled with honey sauce paired with Jerusalem Bagel. For coffee, we highly recommend the Kapeng Barako (P135)! Those with a sweet tooth won't be disappointed with their dessert selections, such as the Strawberry Cheesecake (P220) or Tri-Chocolate Mousse (P220).

Located at Balayan, Bean Wagon is a mobile cafe that serves coffee with beans from local coffee farmers. The mobile cafe during the day is already picture-perfect for your Instagram post, but the view at night is beyond amazing. The simple coffee menu makes it easier for you to order without feeling overwhelmed with choices.
On a hot day, their iced coffee, such as Signature Vanilla Latte (P125) or Biscoff Latte (P120), will be a perfect choice. The Matcha Latte (P110) is a favourite of non-coffee drinkers. While you are there, don't forget to pick up some pastries such as the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (P50) or Classic Brownies (P60), which is a perfect complement to their coffee.

Don't be fooled by the plain exterior of their main branch at Hilltop. This coffee house has a Pinterest-like minimalistic style with a warm and welcoming ambiance. Whether you're looking to socialize or take some time for yourself, this cafe is the perfect spot. As passionate as they are about their coffee, they also have a variety of selections for food.
We recommend trying the BLT sandwich and Garlic Red Chicken or go for the delicious Baked Potato Wedges if you just want to snack. Their Iced White Mocha and Iced Chocolate are great options when you need a quick recharge for the day.

If you are looking for a cafe with an industrial aesthetic and relaxing atmosphere, then Coffee Beer Café is the perfect place to go. Every corner in the cafe provides the best background for your next Instagram post. They offer a wide range of breakfast to dinner options, including specialty coffee drinks, teas, frappes and beer.
If this is your first time visiting, here are some of their best sellers to try - Supreme Pizza 12" (P389), Classic Spaghetti (P229) and Pork Steak (P229). Their Buffalo Skinny Fries (P159) and Nachos Overload (P159) are great options for sharing. Instead of your usual Latte, why not go for the hot Dirty Matcha (P129), Butterscotch Latte (P119) or Iced CBC Creamy Latte (P175)?

Café Molido is well worth the hype for its cosy and relaxing ambience, great food and drinks near the sea. The use of wood as the main element in their design brings a calming vibe, which makes it a perfect place for some Instagram photos. Even though they are relatively new, they have already built a solid fan base with their delicious food and quality coffee.
The highlight of this cafe will have to be the Korean Eggdrop. Go for the Sweet Beef Bulgogi (P169) or Spicy Samgyeopsal (P169). If you are not having a meal, chill out with a cup of Spanish Latte (P130) or Choco Hazelnut macchiato (P175). For those who prefer a non-coffee-based drink, the Oreo Cookies & Cream Frappe (P175) will be your best bet.
