Good for breakfast

Great smoothies bowls, big portions.
They don't have many non-breakfast options, even if they are open till the evening: 2 wraps and mac and cheese only.
Mac and cheese is good, but broccoli is a joke. Matcha was not good: it's just green sugar, and the ice makes it impossible to mix properly.

Pros: Opens early

Cons: Few non-breakfast options

Pros: All vegan, Great food and coffee, Chill vibe

Cons: Not a lot of seating. Come early at peak times.

Pros: Delicious food , Good coffee

Great smoothie bowls!!

This place is a must for breakfast time. They have a selection of 4 smoothie bowls and sometimes they’ll have a banana muffin, they also have 2 sandwiches (banana, jam, peanut butter combos)

They are still recovering from COVID so they have no savoury options for lunch or dinner but they are open until late if you wanted to chill and have a coffee.

THEIR CHOCOLATE MILK WAS INSANE!!!

Pros: Great smoothie bowls , Great coffee selection , Lovely seating area

Awesome for breakfast, but still recovering

This place is only all-vegan restaurant in El Nido (as of May 2022), and everything we had there was delicious. They offer the full assortment of coffee drinks in all-vegan varieties- I was really impressed that they had vegan iced hot chocolate!! In terms of food, they offer smoothie bowls of various kinds, and two sandwiches (peanut butter & jelly and peanut butter & banana). It's not on the menu, but you can order a glass of vegan milk to pair with these for a great price!

BUT NOTE, that they do not have the wide range of menu options (mac & cheese, lasagna) that are mentioned in other reviews. We mentioned this to the owner and he said that they want to bring those back eventually, but are having to re-open slowly due to the pandemic. So as of right now it's not the best place for dinner, but it's perfect for breakfast (we ate almost every breakfast there and were very happy!!)

All vegan, all great

How wonderful it is to have so many fully vegan places in El Nido and Taste is one of the best!
The Mac and cheese was one of the best I have ever had! Flavorful, creamy and perfectly seasoned! Not to mention a good portion size.
The eggplant lasagna was also amazing, with a huge slice as a portion and one of the best vegan cheeses there is.
We ordered a couple chocolate chip cookies for dessert and they were both pretty hard. A good tip is to stuff a piece of bread in the jar with them so they stay soft and yummy.
The prices weren’t too high and the cafe has a nice vibe to it.

Best smoothies 🤞🏽

You will get a variety of amazing smoothies, so fresh, cold, and with all the healthy ingredients you can dream of. A bit expensive but definitely worth it. They also offer regular vegan dishes.

Delicious and best value in town

Compared to other places, taste offers the best value with the friendliest staff. Still, the prices are high, but at least you get something for your money. We had the Hello Yellow bowl as well as the Mac n Cheese. Both were delicious, and the smoothie bowl had a lot of toppings like goji berries, pumpkin seeds, and almonds on top of it. The Mac n Cheese was creamy and delicious too. The portion sizes are right, and you feel satisfied. 280 pesos for the smoothie bowl are reasonable, but 330 for the Mac n Cheese a tiny bit overpriced. Overall, taste offers a great experience, tasty food, and delicious coffee.

Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly staff, Value
