The 6 Best Cafes in Siquijor: A Guide to the Best Coffee Shops in 2025

Let’s be real, Siquijor isn’t exactly known for its coffee scene. This island is still a bit under the radar compared to places like Siargao, and that includes when it comes to cafes. But after spending nearly two months in Siargao (which has some of the best coffee culture in the Philippines), I knew I had to reset my expectations a little before heading to Siquijor.

That said, don’t worry—you can still get a proper flat white here, it just takes a bit more effort to find the good cafes in Siquijor.

I spent about a week in Siquijor and made it my mission to try a different cafe every morning. And while the variety isn’t huge, there are some seriously cute spots worth checking out. This list isn’t massive, because I’m only recommending places I actually went to and liked, but if you’re wondering where to get good coffee in Siquijor, I’ve got you covered.

What are the Best Cafes in Siquijor? We’ve got the Answers

When I first arrived in Siquijor, the vibe shift was obvious right away—it’s quieter, less built-up, and way less touristy than places like Siargao or Bohol. And honestly, that was a refreshing change. But it also meant fewer options when it comes to good coffee and food. Still, I made it work.

I tried most of the popular cafes and coffee shops on the island, and this little guide is all about the ones I actually liked and would go back to. There are a few others I visited that didn’t make the list—either because the quality wasn’t great, the location wasn’t worth it, or the prices were just way too high for what they offered.

So, quick answer? My personal favorite cafe in Siquijor is Kape de Guyod. I went back multiple times—it has that Siargao or Bali style design, the espresso is proper, and the whole place just has a really nice feel to it.

Another good one is Fig Cafe—a cozy indoor spot with air con, which can be a lifesaver when it’s crazy hot out. And one of my favorite beachfront cafes was actually Shaka Siquijor. I’m not always a fan of the Shaka chain in the Philippines, but this one is right on the sand, surrounded by palm trees, and the vibe was perfect. I loved hanging out there with my vegan flat white and watching the waves.

1. Kape de Guyod // Best Coffee Shop in Siquijor

Opening Hours: 8am-9pm
Price: $$$
My Rating: ★★★★
Menu & Location

Located in San Juan, like most cafes in Siquijor, Kape de Guyod ended up being my favorite. It was actually the first coffee spot I tried on the island, and I was genuinely surprised by how good it was. It’s just off the main road, a bit outside the busy part of town, and set upstairs so it feels a little tucked away.

The coffee here is actually really good. You can tell the barista knows what they’re doing, and after trying a few other places, I just kept coming back—this was hands down the best cup I had in Siquijor. The space itself is well-designed, with air conditioning and plenty of seating, which made it a great spot for me to get a bit of work done on my laptop.

They have a few pastries too—nothing crazy, but they do the trick. The croissants weren’t the best I’ve had, but honestly, I was here for the coffee and the chill vibe, and on that front, it delivered every time.

2. Shaka Siquijor // Amazing Vegan Cafe

Opening Hours: 7am-6pm
Price: $$$
My Rating: ★★★★
Menu & Location

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Shaka in Siargao, it felt too exposed, way too hot, and just not that comfortable. But the one in Siquijor is a completely different story. I ended up going a few times, mostly because the space itself is so nice. It’s right on the beach, tucked under a bunch of palm trees that give it the perfect amount of shade. Breezy, relaxed, and just a great place to hang out for a few hours.

The coffee here is really good too. I always got the vegan flat white (they only use plant-based milk), and it was consistently good. Smoothie bowls are another strong point—really fresh, really tasty. I tried lunch once and thought the food menu outside of the smoothie bowls was just okay, but still, for breakfast or a mid-morning coffee, this spot is 100% worth it.

3. Fig Cafe // One of my Favorite Places in Siquijor for a Coffee

Opening Hours: 7am-7:30pm
Price: $$
My Rating: ★★★★
Menu & Location

Fig Cafe definitely takes the number two spot for me, right after Kape de Guyod when it comes to coffee in Siquijor. I actually stumbled across it completely by accident—one morning I was scootering to Cambugahay Falls and saw it on the side of the road. It looked cute from the outside, so I made a mental note to stop by on my way back. I’m so glad I did.

That day I only had a cappuccino, but it was perfect—creamy, tasty, and topped with really nice latte art. I ended up going back another morning not just for the coffee, but also for breakfast. The food is pretty simple—just eggs, toast, bacon, and some fruit—but it’s affordable and exactly what I needed.

The cafe itself has air conditioning, which is a major win on hot mornings. I tried working from here one day too, but it’s a small space and was super busy, so I bailed. Might work better as a laptop spot if you catch it on a quieter day.

4. Jungle Kingdomes Cafe // One of The Best Cafes in Siquijor With a View

Opening Hours: 6am-5pm
Price: $$
My Rating: ★★★
Menu & Location

I found this place through someone’s Instagram story, and it looked interesting enough to check out in person. After a beach day, we made the drive up, and honestly it was so worth it. Jungle Kingdomes is part of a little boutique dome hotel in the jungle, run by an English-American couple. The whole setup is located up on a hill, and the vibe is very bamboo, eco, off-grid cool.

The cafe itself is small but has some of the most amazing views in Siquijor. Like, proper panoramic jungle-and-ocean kind of views. It’s a great spot for sunset if you time it right. I had an iced latte and a panini—nothing mind-blowing, but good enough and in combination with that view, definitely worth coming here.

Bonus points: they have Starlink powered by solar, which is a total game-changer during those inevitable Siquijor brownouts (power cuts). If you need to get some work done when everything else is down, this is the spot.

5. Jainin’s Cafe // One of the Best Cheap Cafes in Siquijor

Opening Hours: 7:30am-8:30pm
Price: $$
My Rating: ★★★
Menu & Location

Jainin’s is one of those more established spots on the island—it feels like it’s been around for a while. It’s not a trendy or aesthetic cafe by any means, but it does the job. The coffee is decent, the cakes and pastries are actually pretty good, and they’ve got air con, which honestly goes a long way when you just want to escape the heat for a bit.

I came here a couple of times to get some work done, and it’s a solid little spot for that. It only just made the cut for this list—not because it’s amazing, but because in Siquijor, you take what you can get sometimes. And this one’s definitely good enough.

6. Kahinam Cafe // Best Take Away Cafe in Siquijor

Opening Hours: 8am-5pm
Price: $
My Rating: ★★
Menu & Location

Kahinam is one of those little places I found totally by accident. It’s a tiny, hole-in-the-wall cafe just off the main road in San Juan, but honestly, it’s pretty cute.

It’s perfect if you’re just after a quick takeaway coffee or matcha. I grabbed an iced latte here one morning before heading out on the scooter, and it was exactly what I needed—cheap, easy, and fast.

Is it on the same level as Kape de Guyod? No. But for a basic iced coffee, I don’t really need it to be. It did the job, and I’d definitely swing by again.
