As I stepped into The Coco Cafe, I was instantly captivated by its aesthetic appeal. The space is small yet inviting, making it excellent for solo diners and small groups alike.

Many patrons, including Amavi Wanders, are enamored with the Aloha Breakfast Bacon, a hearty meal perfect for anyone gearing up for a full day of adventures—priced reasonably at ₱249. The Danggit Overload, priced at ₱160, is a classic that fans swear by; it’s a fulfilling tribute to one of the Philippines' beloved comfort foods.
For those seeking something cool and creamy, the Banana Shake at ₱139 is a refreshing choice, praised for its freshness and delightful texture. Customers like James Smith affirm that breakfast is the star here, with an outstanding selection that caters to both traditional and health-conscious diners. Whether you prefer a hearty plate of American classics or a light bowl of muesli with fruits, The Coco Cafe has something to usher in your day right.
While some reviews do mention a lag in service — with food taking up to an hour — the return on flavor and ambiance makes it a pilgrimage worth embarking on. The friendly staff adds warmth to the experience, creating a blend of comfort and joy that resonates throughout the cafe. Overall, The Coco Cafe promises an unforgettable dining adventure where every dish is crafted with love and local flair.

“ Atmosphere is great. Place is aesthetically pleasing. Service is a meh. Very slow. Food was served in an hour. Coffee was even later. Then we figured out the one taking the orders, is the same person who makes the coffee. I think their system is unorganized. If you want to enjoy Sta Fe’s food, local restaurants are a go to- even if they’re not aesthetically pleasing. ”
“ Food is great, we ordered the toast and smoothie bowl. Toast can be improved portion wise, smoothie bowl is very refreshing, not too sweet. Waiting time for the food to be served is 20 minutes. Staff is friend and approachable. Like the ambiance as well, it is well ventilated and love the tiny details. ”
“ A really great find in Sant Fe, just down a side street close to town and the beach. They offer a great selection of fresh food here, especially the breakfasts! They do a full American or many choices of fruits, smoothies and muesli. Service is quick and with a big smile and prices very reasonable. This was my go to place for breakfast every day during my stay. It can get busy with locals here at weekends. Highly recommended delicious food ”
