Chill & colorful place with a warm & welcoming vibe and a view of the town, sea, other islands and the sunset. Lots of reggae music - sometimes live. Has a large vegetarian menu where nearly all dishes are vegan. Serves mainly Filipino cuisine but also pesto and nachos made out of sweet potatoes. Has tofu dishes. Offers juices, tea, beers and cocktails. Reported fully vegetarian November 2022. Previously called Ala-e Hippie House. Open Mon-Sat 8:30am-11:00pm, Sun 11:00am-11:00pm.

Good food with a chilled vibe - Edit
Loved the vibe and really friendly staff. The staff told us about every meal in the menu. Some of the items werent available.
Read moreWe didint have to wait too long and the service was fast.
Liked how the staff really seemed to know what is vegan. I asked for the calamansi juice and they told me it has honey. As a vegan of course I cant eat honey so I got the juice without honey. They also made everything for me vegan, changing mayo to hummus etc.
Food was good and overall a good experience, would go again.
Pros: Many vegan options, Good price
Cons: Some items in the menu aren't available

Extremely slow service!!! - Edit
We showed up here on New Year's Day for dinner, it was a bit busy but not booming. We waited inside the door for a few minutes, the one waiter passed us a couple of times with no acknowledgement, we weren't sure if we should sit down or not, eventually we asked him if we could and he said yes. We weren't provided with any menus, the table next to us gave theirs over for us to use.
Read moreAfter waiting ten minutes, nobody came over to take the order, so I asked the staff at the counter if I should order there or it was table service. He said he would come over to us, which he did do a couple of minutes later. They seemed very busy / overworked, which was odd because though there were a few customers in, it shouldn't have been enough to overwhelm them.
The guy who took our order, looked like he was the owner perhaps, said it would take a while for the food to come due to how busy they were. I'd heard him say half an hour to another customer, which is OK on busy days - I guess they didn't expect much traffic on NYD? Anyway, we asked for water as well, which didn't come and we had to ask the waiter again. It seemed like it could be self service but there were no glasses available...
My partner and I each ordered one dish. One of them came after 50 minutes, and the other a further 30 min later. After I finished my food (eating slowly to give his a chance to arrive), we were still waiting for my partner's food, and I went to ask gently, but was told "it's cooking" with no further acknowledgement or apologies. The kitchen seemed to be cooking by dish ordered, so because we had one of the same as the table next to us, they both arrived at the same time, with everything else later on in dribs and drabs. Surely it's better to cook by table so we eat at the same time, rather than everyone in the restaurant who ordered X dish eating at the same time?!
Waiting for over an hour for food with no acknowledgement from staff, no apologies, and frankly not enough customers to warrant this is just not OK. We both work in / have worked in cafes for a long time, so we are understanding of delays that happen when you're understaffed, but this was shocking.
The food, when it came, was yummy, but portions were small. I'd have liked the owner(?) to tell me when we ordered that we might still be hungry, so that we could order more at the same time, especially since it took so long for the food to come. The vibe/decor of the place was fun but not worth it for the experience we had.

Fully Vegan Resto in Coron - Edit
I've visited this place during my vacation in Coron. I believe it is one of the few fully vegan menu restaurants. The venue is nice and the food is tasty. The service could be better, the staff needs more training. I came here twice and I recommend it to any vegan/vegetarians visiting Coron
Read morePros: Full vegan menu, Deco is great
Cons: The staff needs more training, A somewhat chaotic restaurant.

Read moreThe food is super delicious! 😋 I've eaten here two nights in a row and everything I ordered tasted wonderful! The only thing is that the portions are a bit small. If you are a big eater like me, maybe order two dishes from the start.

Good food , terrible service - Edit
The place has amazing decoration and vibe, also plenty of options, and the food is very good, BUT…the experience was ruined by the service. We were group of 4, of which I am the only vegan, two meals arrived after 45 min, and the other two 20 min after that. One of the meals had fries instead of rice, was taken away and came 15 min later with rice. The portions are small, the two men in our group had to go and eat something else after, the staff speaks very little english.
Read morePros: Vegan options , Good food
Cons: Small portions , Very long waiting time , Staf barely speaks English

Delicious soup and environment - Edit
I had the Lumi soup and it was delicious. It might be that you think a hot soup in a sunny 30°Cday is not the best. I can tell you, it was worth every spoon (:
Read moreThe place is also very good. Great vibe, sights and environment. I would repeat during these days.
Pros: Lumi soup, Environment , Staff
Cons: Low tables, some people might find it uncomfortabl

Best venue in Coron - Edit
What an incredible place, the style of the venue, the staff, menu, and to top it off the view across the town and to the bay. The ambience was so connecting and it cleared my head of any noise, all whilst getting a flavoursome meal. Come here just before sunset and watch as the town changes through the sunset. 100% recommend!

Has potential - Edit
Burger tasted fine and prices good for Coron, although it’s a shame they charge 30pesos to swap a dollop of mayo for vegan mayo.
Read moreThe vibe is strange though, the aesthetic is cute but it’s super hot and staff can come across as a little unfriendly / standoffish.
Takes a while to get served and food to arrive. A lot of the menu was unavailable. Overall cleanliness is an issue. No soap or toilet-roll in the toilets.
