Initially, I chuckled just reading the name of this cafe. It sounds like "Starbucks" and Filipinos have a way of making funny but appealing names for their stores or establishments.
We didn't mind this café after passing it by a couple of times during our visit to Siargao. It was located near our rented apartment along the Main Road in General Luna. However, that time when we were in a rush to get to Cloud 9 for some surfing sessions, we had to find a place to dine early in the morning. We manage to catch them opening up around 9:00 am.
From the outside, it looks quite simple and tries to have that tropical vibe with its thatched roofing. They could have used more bamboo wood and plant decors. So it wasn't that attractive thus my initial disinterest in the place.
When we were inside, I was taken aback by how light and cozy the ambiance was. The interior was simple but clean and a little bit chic. If you are wondering where are the books, they are placed on the wall. They have a clean toilet. And one can ask for wi-fi access too.
It was a lazy morning and the kids were also not in the mood yet so it was the moms who took charge of ordering food. They were serving All Day Breakfast with choices of Hungarian, Corned Beef, Tocino, and Spam paired with Egg and Garlic Rice for only Php200 ($3.57). They also serve heavy meals, sandwiches, and salads ranging from Php250 to Php350 ($4.46-$6.25) only.
Of course, they also offer a variety of coffee which includes Espresso, Iced or Hot Coffee, and Ice Blended Coffee. Other drinks include their Special Tea, Calamnsi Juice, Matcha, and Gumamela Tea.
So what did we order?
🍛 All Day Breakfast - Tocino with Egg and Garlic Rice.
🍛 All Day Breakfast - Hungarian with Egg and Garlic Rice.
🍛 All Day Breakfast - Bacon with Egg and Garlic Rice.
I ordered a Tocino dish. Nothing special with the meal but using the black serving bowl, the food was aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. The plating always matters. Apart from the looks, the food tasted delicious. The serving was big than what I was expecting. It was more than enough to satisfy our morning hunger. I enjoyed my meal, the moms and kids also enjoyed theirs.
A valuable lesson I was reminded of during our visit here was Not to judge the book by its cover. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a place to dine in General Luna, Siargao.
We were energized after our breakfast here, ready to take on the surfing lessons later that day.

This gonna ba an exciting food trip.Iced or hot Coffee, egg and garlic rice, are all my favorites! It was so funny to remember, I used to mix kopiko blanca on a hot porridge😄that's how coofeeholic I am. Also I find eggs as part of my food satisfaction.

Naay chicken tocino you mean?
Hello dear friend @indayclara good afternoon
What you say is true, the façade of the business does not attract much attention, something different happens inside the bar, it looks clean, orderly and welcoming.
It is good that you enjoyed a delicious breakfast, everything you have ordered looks exquisite
I appreciate you sharing this experience. Have a beautiful night
What attracted to my eyes are the place mat, its so unique. Tha ambience is relaxing and the foods are perfectly arrange, hehehe its just like I am evaluating the place. Hope that I can see your surfing @indayclara❤️
The place mats added this boho feel sa place.
Whoever names this cafe is just so witty!😂 I remember joking with a friend that I really like to put up a store and it has to be right next to Forever 21. Because the store's name will be Finally 22. 😂😂😂
YES!!! HAHAHA. SAMUKA. SO FUNNY. Musikat jud ka if mao gani ni. 😂
Hahaha. Nya ang baligya kay dili man RTW Miss @indayclara , tuba man. Hahahah
Breakfast is one of the best meals that I've ever loved because pairing it with coffee can energize my day.
Yes! Coffee is always a must jud.
Upon reading this what’s in my mind is starbucks but when I read the question, where’s the books? Gush! that’s the time that I scrolled up again and double check the spelling. Ahhh😅 and I giggled. Wais ang owner 😂
An amazing story that piqued my interest. Wow, you're uncovering the secret allure and delectable treats at Starbooks Café. A gentle nudge is that looks can sometimes be misleading.
It's awesome!
Thank you for sharing this even when it seems impossible for me to visit the place. 🤭
You are most welcome! I still have many places to explore as well not sure we will be able to but someday.
