This has got to be one of the best cafes I've ever visited in the country. First off, the staffs are incredibly friendly and fun. You can tell that they love their job. Eating there feels like staying at your friend's flat. About the food, they're awesome. I like that they prepare your food right in front of you, in our case, it's pasta and crepe. You can watch them make your order from scratch and not from frozen ingredients. We got chicken pesto and oh my, it was terrific! We also had their affagatto and they even gave us a free taste of their in house soft-served ube and mango ice cream which is fantastic. Since we enjoyed our visit there, we came back with our friends 10 mins before their closing time and still, and they let us in. We had good time there. Highly recommended!

One of the most aesthetic cafe I’ve been to. They have cute hammocks which you can use while enjoying your crepe or coffee. The ambiance is relaxing and peaceful. We ordered the ube crepe and caramel graham and both are to die for. It’s obvious that they used quality ingredients and prepared the food meticulously. The staff are also very friendly. We dined near their closing time but they still entertained us. Will go back again

I found this hidden gem at the entrance arena of La Cabanas Beach. Their interior actually attracted me. So after after watching the sunset, i stepped in and grabbed a coffee. Their music taste is cool, were playing slow songs from 80s. Like the name, you can spent some lazy time here.

The hammocks, the music, the service, and especially the food were 10/10!! The concepts were on point here, how they design the place is very sleek and elegant. The coffee frappe was exactly what we were craving on a hot day! This honestly should be one of your designated stops in Elnido! They have Iced Coffee, Crepes, Savoury Crepes, Pasta, Ube, Icecream, and cocktail drinks! What else are you waiting for??
