The best place in el nido

I can’t describe how good this place is. The pastries are incredible, the coffee is excellent, and their hot chocolate is the best I’ve ever tasted. The service was also outstanding. The space itself is neat and super relaxing, with calm music. I discovered this spot too late but still managed to visit twice.

Nice Drink & Cake

Had a nice chai latte and the banana bread was decent albeit a little on the dry side. Staff were friendly and everything was nice enough, but feel for the price it doesn’t really warrant 5*

Insanely good coffee and pastries

The latte was super good, really strong and creamy. The chocolate donut was heaven, slightly warm and fudgy with creamy topping. Loved it.
The chai latte with no sugar was okay, not the best, but I think with sugar it could be very good. Very herby and little spicy.

AMAZING

Can't believe this cafe is fully vegan! The coffee is great but the pastries are sooo good. Especially the cinnamon roll we tried!! Hard to come by vegan pastries!

The actual cafe itself had a cool interior too

Grounded 🌱🍵☕️

Excellent coffee/drinks and really lovely staff. I’ve gone back several times! They also have many vegan baked goods such as donuts, cookies, and more! The location/decor is really nice.

Great café!

Honestly I had the best iced oat chai latte here. It was absolutely amazing and the chocolate chip cookie was great as well. Highly recommend to visit this café if you are looking for a coffee where you don’t pay extra for oat milk.

One of our favourites

Oat milk as default, yummy fresh cakes, lovely staff and gorgeous architecture. Maple oat horchata is insanely good. We love Grounded.

Lecker

Wirklich lecker, man sollte aber früh da sein um noch leckeres Gebäck wie Kuchen oder Donuts abzukriegen. Bis es Nachschub gibt, dauert es immer etwas.

Good matcha and donuts

Especially the matcha latte was delicious! So were the chocolate donut and the matcha/oreo donut.
Place was quite full when we arrived and there is only one big table. We had to wait a moment to sit down.

Pros: good matcha, good donuts , card payment possible

Good matcha latte

The space is quite new and it offers a good variety of coffee and non-coffee drinks, hot and cold. I tried their matcha with oat milk and it was satisfying.

Nice coffee and treats at a premium

Grounded was easy to find and had a nice modern vibe. The coffee was enjoyable, as were the cakes. The pricing here was quite expensive, approx 940 php for 2 coffees and two treats.

Yum!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this popular cafe is vegan! They had a wide variety of drinks and sweet treats. I tried the choc chip cookie and found it to be the perfect after dinner treat! Chocolatey and well balanced flavour, with flakey sea salt on top. Yum!

Amazing matcha!

Such a great spot, cookies and muffins are delicious but agree with previous posts that the matcha is unreal. Made properly with a bowl and bamboo whisk.

Pros: Matcha

Cons: Limited range of cakes

the BEST matcha

a really chill minimalistic cafe with delicious vegan cakes (i tried the lemon and blueberry) and a great range of coffee and none coffee. i'm a bit picky with my matcha and this passed my expectations. ask for no sugar if you don't want it too sweet. oat milk is default and they have almond or soy for no extra charge. i'll keep coming back here it's wonderful!!

Oat milk by default

Nice coffee shop with oat milk in the drinks by default.

They had a selection of cakes and doughnuts which all looked delicious but I didn’t try any.

One large communal table to sit at and wifi available for an hour.

Minimalist but great

I grabbed an iced chocolate on my way to the beach for 200 pesos. Was very good. Great service and everything looked great inside. Could work from here.

Minimalist Vegan Cafe

What I most love about this cafe is the interior (the irregularly shaped communal table and seats, the wall projected menu and the overall minimalistic vibe of the cafe). Also tried the match latte to-go (I guess they don't have a specialized cup for takeout, so the cup was small compared if you drink it in the cafe), mocha and banana bread (love that it's not too sweet).

Worth it

We had a matcha and caramel macchiato. Quite expensive for the Philippines but definitely worth it! First spot found where they do not use cow milk.

Pros: Default oat milk , Cute sitting area / vibe

Cons: Expensive

Amazing coffee

We randomly walked into this cafe to find out that it was completely vegan, which is always a nice surprise. The coffee is really good, they also have a variety of different cakes which looked amazing, we havent tries them though.

Pros: Amazing coffee

Cons: Expensive
