Top 10 Best Cafés to Chill & Relax in Batangas, Philippines

Being adjacent to the famous Tagaytay City, the Batangas Province also share wonderful scenery with the iconic Taal Volcano, uniquely dwells in an island in a lake in an island. Batangas is a home of heritage houses and the mouthwatering soup of Bulalo with its tender beef. Aside from that, Batangas is famous for its strong and rich Barako Coffee. In fact, most travelers go to Batangas for the coffee and the scenery. That being said, boutique cafes have been developed to create space for the yuppies and foodies. Here are 10 of the best cafes in Batangas, each has their own gimmicks.

1. Hugot Café

In Filipino, the word “hugot” means to “pull out from deep within.” Hugot became popular and even trending in social medias especially when one expresses his/her feelings from personally sincere sentiments or emotions. Hugot lines are usually linked with someone’s love life or status. What’s fun about Hugot Lines is how people could get deep emotions from small, simple things sometimes to express his mood or just to break the ice.

Hugot Café in Batangas uses the hugot concept to attract teens. The foods on their menu are named after hugot lines (menu full of puns usually about social status or emotion). Imagine being called by your name before the server will shout out your order Third Party (Hazelnut coffee)or Loner (a strawberry waffle). And don’t get mad if the server will call your name and say Two Timer because that might just be the double dutch milkshake that you ordered (unless it’s true). All fares are sold at reasonable prices.

3. Café St. Honore

You can’t leave Batangas without stopping by at Café St. Honore to grab a cup of jolly-good-coffee. If you’re not into dark brews, you can order their delicious milkshakes, tea, or milk. You should try their cheesecake, it’s creamy-licious! The ambiance is relaxed, and the place is very calm. I like the interiors; the white walls and the fancy lighting. The establishment is well-lighted and very snug. Perhaps, I see this place as an ideal place for dating your partner or have a little hangout with your friends.

4. Café Milflores

Right across the Plaza Mabini in Batangas City, with bright lights dimming the pastel sheds, is the Café Milflores, silently serving healthy food to the food adventurers. In the entrance of the café stands Prince Harry waiting for her bride that could be anybody. Well, it would be very fun to think Prince Harry is in the foyer to welcome the ladies (and the gents). Sorry to say, it’s just a human-size standee with a faceless bride beside him. But that’s just a piece of fun the café can offer. As you step inside, you will be charmed with their interior. The fixtures along with other decorations make the place look like a young girl’s tea party but in a more classic and adult look. The ambiance is fantastic, very inviting. They have a bunch of gorgeous cakes and cupcakes – try the Choco-Almond Fudge! They also have lemonade and a variety of beverages.

Dwells amidst the heritage town of Batangas City, is the Tampuhan Café, a bistro that serves local Filipino cuisines with a fusion of Spanish and Italian taste.

A heaven of breakfast, sandwiches, pasta, and cakes with zig zag drizzles, Bell Piato Café and Bistro offer comfort foods. The place is quite above typical, and the ambiance is relaxing.
