I decided to have an early morning walk and stumbled to this coffee shop at around 6:45. I was their first customer at that day but by 7am there are already many customers. That’s how you can tell the coffee shop is a local favorite. I had their native and eggs Benedict and they are really good. The coffee is strong and a little acidic since it’s a native coffee but I don’t mind. The eggs Benedict is just the best. I would surely visit this place again. Highly recommended. The staff are nice and welcoming too.

Had our breakfast here for 2 consecutive days. Most of their food is for vegetarians. I ordered the faux bacon which did not taste like bacon. But overall, the food was good. The coffee also tastes great and did not disappoint.

After our morning jog, we headed to Monkey Grounds in Iloilo for breakfast, bringing with us a hefty appetite. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between modern industrial and lush greenery, creating a cool and welcoming atmosphere. The coffee was a mixed experience: while the cortado was well-executed, the cold brew with sweet cream fell short unfortunately, the cream didn’t blend well, leaving it slightly coagulated. The food, however, was delightful. The Pasta Aubergine stood out with its perfectly al dente pasta, and the tomato sauce, caramelized onions, and eggplant melded together …

Had the mushroom burger and aubergine spaghetti for lunch. Quenched my craving for vegan / vegetarian food 😋 I waited for a while for my orders to arrive, but was assured that everything is being prepared hot and fresh ✨️ (you can literally see the chefs cooking and prepping in their see-through kitchen). The atmosphere is great! Elegant choice of dining furnishings and lighting fixtures that makes the experience so posh. They have lots of vegan and vegetarian choice in their menu. Definitely recommend, and definitely will come back when in Iloilo to try their Buddha Bowl 😋

First coffee, is amazing.. We ordered three kinds of coffee and you really do see the difference of each kind from sweetness to the strong notes etc.. Food, they are aiming for the healthy option such as serving it in brown rice or having selection of having quinoa instead but the salt was bit underwhelming.. Suggestion, serve condiments table for those who want more.. It's a chill place.. There is indoor and outside seating
