The Vibe of this whole place is immaculate. Sandwiches are life-changing. Their dog is so perfect and the couple is wonderful. Good coffee is extremely limited in the area (even as far as Nacpan beach) so it was an unexpected delight to find incredible coffee here. Soy milk as an option was a bonus and their house made sweet potato drinks were amazing (with and without coffee. Don't miss this little gem

Amazing little restaurant held by lovely people. The cheesesteak is amazing with quality ingredients and the delicious home-made pizza dough. First time trying Ube in the ubeybee, and it tastes amazing! The vibes are immaculate, with games (darts, chess…), and a very relaxed atmosphere surrounded by nature. Had to go twice! A must-try in the area :)

My boyfriend and I happened to motorbike passed this little hut on the way to Duli beach. It caught my eye and when we were packing it up on the beach, I told him “let’s stop by that cute coffee shop I saw on the way here”. Thank GOD we did One of the highlights of our trip, we instantly fell in love. I never write reviews but this was just too cool to pass up on. We sat down at the bar, I ordered the Ubeccino with soy milk and we shared a pizza sandwich. The coffee was RIDICULOUSLY good (probably the best i’ve had in the Philippines so far) and the sandwich was amazing… homemade sourdough… chefs kiss. We chatted it up with the owners, they’re such lovely, chill peeps, and of course played with their cute little dogs, throwing a rock around to play fetch with Obie. Such a perfect little spot, truly the vibes were immaculate. Thank you to the wonderful couple and for the great experience, no matter if it’s just a little ube coffee and a chat!
