  • Real Coffee and Tea Cafe in Boracay: A Pit Stop for Classic Calamansi Muffins
  • There might be a new face to the island of Boracay, but it is, without a doubt, home to many well-loved places established years before its restoration. This ultimately includes Real Coffee and Tea Cafe in Station 2, Boracay, with offerings that visitors could not help but come back for more!

    Established in 1996, expats mother and daughter tandem Mamma Lee and Nadine thought of putting up a business in the island of Boracay.

    Having been to many places in the world, they saw Boracay as the place where they can enliven their passion to bake goods, to concoct drinks, and to promote Filipino products.

    The cafe’s nipa hut style easily suggests that it’s the place where you would just want to relax for a quick coffee break.

    Upstairs, the place evokes a homey vibe, one you feel when you go to the province: calm, refreshing, and happy

    The cafe’s bamboo concept makes up for really interesting features: Nothing too grand; just pure natural beauty.

    Their balcony is also decorated with waving flags from different countries and universities, representing the places where their customers came from.

    The place celebrates where you came from. You are not alone!

    Not to mention, their tables are also filled with photos of their former customers, ordinary and notable ones who are all part of the café’s history.They offer here are mostly local products, with American-style home cooking that serves all-day breakfast food.

    Their fluffy pancakes, for example, may come your way best slathered with butter and paired with equally delectable scrambled eggs.

    The cafe also offers sandwiches and omelets, but they do not offer beef, pork, and rice.

    Their Omelet with toast, for example, will brighten up your morning with its simple but flavorful ensemble of tomato, onion, cheese, and pesto.

    While a freshly brewed, steaming cup of coffee is the best choice for your breakfast plates, why not try Real Coffee and Tea Cafe’s refreshing Iced Cafe Mocha, which is also best paired with their infamous Calamansi Muffin!

    Also known for their tasty baked goods, Nadine proudly shared that their baked goods are all made from scratch. Each pastry was prepared to enhance the flavor it was known for, being the tourists’ and even locals’ favorite when they visit the cafe. 

    For those who would love to try healthier options, Real Coffee and Tea is one of the cafe recommended by health-conscious tourists in the island. They also add delectable fares for those with diet restrictions including gluten-free and dairy alternatives.

    Certainly an island favorite, the cafe is one place that makes Boracay more beautiful than it is. Make your Boracay trip more memorable as you visit Real Coffee and Tea Cafe!

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
