“ Great location and really fast wifi. We loved their croissants, especially their ham & cheese! The iced mocha - not so much. ”
“ located still in the busy Tourism road although a bit distant from the bars but i love their small cafe!!! i went their in the afternoon before my flight and was about to buy their croissant but the lady staff said their croissant are usually sold mostly in the morning...but i was glad they still have other pastries on their shelf... i got their banana vegan bread and chocolate oat cookie instead and i was mind blown how rich the banana bread is (taste, texture, and weight) and oat cookie has its own signature different from other oat cookies... glad i went there but if only i went their during my earlier days in the island i would've visited the cafe a number of times ”
“ First day in Siargao and tired from a quick inland tour that included a boatride along Maasin River, a dip at the crystal clear Secret Lagoon, and another dip at the Hidden Beach, nothing can be more satisfying than coffee. I got at Lunares Café along General Luna a couple of minutes before they were about to close and hurriedly ordered a Mocha frappe and a cannoncini with a custard filling. Aside from coffee, I can say the other attractions of this café are their wide selection of freshly-baked pastries at an affordable price; plus of course, their sweet resident dog named Anira who loves to be patted. ”
“ Great coffee shop! Nice place to chill, relax, and enjoy good drinks. Perfect vibe and friendly staff. ”
“ It's OK! Nothing special... the only thing, at once, one of the coffees had a funny taste. I think that was because of the ice! ”
“ The croissant is great (dont bother with the fillings just get the plain one). Their nutella cookie, and focaccia sandwich are not my cup of tea. However, their italian hot cocoa is good. ”
