I saw that this place had great reviews for drinks so came to try a matcha latte here. Asked if there was no sugar in the drink and was assured there was not. The given drink had a synthetically sugary taste, which was a shame as this place is not exactly cheap! I would have preferred to be told that the drink is sweetened before I bought it! Having told the guy who works here that it was too sweet, he apologised and offered another drink that I preferred. The mango smoothie that I chose was delicious!!

We asked for unsweetened matcha latte. Were reassured it had no sugar… well. Surprise surprise, it does. It was gross However, when we went to pay the owner offered us different drinks for free. Very sweet

Don’t leave town before you had a butter me up bowl! Also the berry vamp was nice. Interesting that they made matcha and coffee salted, a very pleasant and tasty surprise in a cup! Would love to come back to try the rest on the menu in the good designed cafe with lovely jazz on the background.

Our favourite place in Coron! One of the few places you can get a delicious flat white coffee and the overnight oats and smoothie bowls are delicious. The butter me up bowl is one of the most delicious things we have eaten! Great options for dairy free / vegans and the staff are very friendly and attentive. You can make changes to dishes if you need to and they serve ice cold service water. Bonus they have some fun card games to play too! Great spot and we will miss our breakfasts here.

Finding the one spot that ticks all the boxes is what traveling is all about. We love this spot for the caring and great staff. The iced lattes and smoothie bowls speak for themselves as we couldn’t wait for breakfast. Thank you Bitter Bean see you next time we’re back!

This is a nice place to escape the heat and enjoy a coffee or snack. The windows were open and there was a pleasant breeze when we went. The coffee was fine, but we really enjoyed the Mango Locco shaved ice dessert. Philippines has the best mangos without a doubt!

Variety of drink options to choose from, we chose ice chocolate, which was decent, and also tried the pastrami panini, which was more like just toast, but it was very tasty. However, the price was quite high for what it was, so I wouldn't say it's very budget friendly. The place itself is very clean and has a minimalistic style, and there's barely any people.

Pretty sure this is owned by zenvea hotel (where I was staying) right opposite I was on a coworking trip and this place was absolutely perfect! Good wifi, reasonable amount of plugs, staff were ok with me sitting with my laptop too, other people were doing it too. Nice spacious, breezy, airy, coffee and food were nice too!
