The 12 best breakfast and brunch in Panglao Island

Very nice place to hang out and enjoy good coffee. Non-caffeine choices are also available. Tried one of their meals this time. The Angus Burger patty was a little dry but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Service was thoughtful and prompt. Coffee here is recommendable. Their other drinks are also good.

First time at Tamper and will certainly be back. Food and coffee is outstanding and the service and atmosphere matches. And really reasonably priced. So happy to have found them. And the restaurant next door (Same owner) looks great too.

Went there for a dinner with family. I've been going back over and over into this resto. It's cozy though the place is not that big. It's best to hang out there during the afternoons and early evenings. Their foods are also delectable. My favorite is their chorizo rice bowl. This is an alternative place for hanging out with friends, classmates and colleagues.

Went here again for breakfast.. And as always, the food itself never disappoints. However, this visit left me quite disappointed. I ordered the same stacked waffles I had on my first visit, but this time they were noticeably thinner.. At first, I didn’t want to make a fuss and just tried to enjoy my meal, but then I couldn’t help but notice that a group of foreigners who ordered the exact same dish were served waffles that were clearly thicker and more generous in portion. It was honestly disheartening to see such an inconsistency, especially when it seemed that LOCALS and FOREIGNERS were being served differently... I really hope the restaurant addresses this and ensures fair, equal, and consistent service for all customers, regardless of who they are. Experiences like this can really take away from what would otherwise be an enjoyable meal....

Glad we found this cafe, just a 5-minute walk from our hotel. They offer a decent variety of food and we quite enjoyed it. We had their bbq chicken poppers (a generous serving), along with the Merry Berry and Peach refreshers, which were all good! However, the pancakes came out a bit too crumbly and lacked fluffiness; they were dense but not moist. The next day, we returned to enjoy their coffee. Both Matcha and Spanish lattes were decently delicious. With its welcoming ambiance and staff, this cafe is worth visiting if you’re in Tagbilaran.

A perfect breakfast place when in Tagbilaran. Checks for ambience, service, food quality & pricing, and of course, good coffee. We were glad to be here.

one of Tagbilaran's *known* Gems. if you love to drink coffee or eat some good food, visit Tamper. best to come during at night because I love their place outside. plenty of drinks and food to choose but their Chicken & Waffles still reigns as the best.

The service was terrible. We waited almost 2 hours for our food, even though we ordered first. Five other tables got their food before us. When our pizza was finally ready, they gave it to another table by mistake, and we had to wait another hour. We followed up five times, but the staff just kept blaming each other. I really love Buzz Restaurant, but I’ll never come back to this branch.

Although the place could use a bit of updating, it’s still a nice place after lunch service to while your time away. The AC was strong, I was able to charge my phone and no one cared I stayed for an hour and a bit more. I’ve always loved their ice cream choices, sikwate and puto were not to my liking.

The place seem to be very small looking outside the entrance but very cozy and spacious inside. It has many tables that can accommodate different group sizes. The food is great. It is very relaxing and staffs are really doing their job. But because of the goodness of the place, expect a lot of people dining during meal hours. The store is open from 7 am to 9 pm.

The restaurant now has a new look and layout, but it keeps its rustic charms and relaxed ambience. It feels a little less spacious though because the space makes room for a larger open area. The food remains great and it has significantly expanded its menu items. The restaurant also sells ice cream in scoops or in tubs, breads, spreads, and organic home products like lip balms, soaps, shampoo and conditioner. This resto remains to be a favorite among locals and tourists.

Nice food, lovely ambience resembling a farm. You also get a good view of the sea and the ferry terminal from here. Spicy beef pasta tasted better than it looks. Drinks are yummy and reasonably priced too.

The second time around but the first time around taking their precious rice meal. The food itself is unquestionable taste and surprisingly wow. The pork meat is just so tender. Perfectly cooked black rice. Fresh is fresh for lumpia. Lemon Grass for drink. Its even quite quick for the serving time. Everthing is almost perfection. #Highly recommended.

If you are a health concious person, well this place suits for you. They served a lot of healthy options from appetizer, main dish and dessert that claimed to be organic and homemade. It is a well-known for its nature-inspired plating of their food that I found really eye-catching especially those with edible flowers that I've never known. And the best I could describe is their ice cream that is way beyond compare. The fruity and milky texture of the ice cream top on a unique cone of cassava would make you ask for more. Overall, it is no wonder why it is called a Bohol's pride cafeteria...

It was a really bad experience. Ordering a Parisian baguette in a french bistro should be simple. But it's not. Serving without Dijon mustard, which is the key ingredient in this baguette. Butter in one bread but not on the other side of the baguette. So basically it's a dry sandwich. That has no similarities with the dish on the menu. I sent the sandwich back because of the missing ingredients. Got it back with some Dijon on the bread?? It is really the easiest dish to make and they managed to completely mess it up.

A great little French Bistro. Fantastic food and service. Food is amazing to say the least, each item is cooked to order. Coffee is great. Well worth a return visit

Gavroche Bistro is a delightful spot that truly impresses with its freshly baked bread and pastries. Each item is made to perfection, making for a wonderful start to the day. Their coffee is equally fantastic, perfectly complementing the breakfast menu, which is simply exceptional. What really sets this place apart is the warmth of the owner and staff; they are incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend visiting for a cozy meal!

Food is really good for the price—loved the sausage and the breads! The place itself could use a bit of a makeover, but it’s conveniently right along the busy street of Alona.

Tastyliciouss French food. Very nice ambiance! Staff are polite and friendly.

French onion soup was amazing! The panini sandwich however was a bit bland.. nice ambience and very friendly staff. Coffee was also great!

I was the last customer last night. Your almond crossaint and cookie were delicious! Sadly, I left my wallet there, but the next day, you guys kindly wrapped it in a paper bag and held it on for me. Thank you soooooo much!! I am very touched by your kindness, and the pastry is great too! Definitely recommend!!! I'll visit there again soon!

Quiet place with a western style theme. Booths are the seating arrangement. Food was well presented and the beef with oyster sauce would have been excellent if served hot sizzling on a cast iron skillet! Overall the food was good.

Nice place, quiet with a great variety of local and international foods. I was in the morning for my morning coffee, I didn't try the food. The big problem is the internet. The mobile phone network does not work inside and that of the restaurant is very slow (I attach speed test), so, if you are a digital nomad, or work remotely it is not a place for you. Great, helpful and friendly staff.

A slice of Americana in the Philippines. This place is both a good restaurant and a mini museum of cowboy artifacts. In addition to that, they train and employ hearing challenged young adults. I had the American burger and a side of fries, delicious! Others in my group had fish sandwich and spaghetti with garlic bread. All enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will be returning soon...

Went to Bohol and made a quick dinner stop at Garden Café in Tagbilaran—but wow, it turned into something special. The food was great, and the dragon fruit juice? Easily the best I’ve ever had. But what made it unforgettable was the staff—most of them are deaf, and the café exists to give them meaningful work and a welcoming space to thrive. The vibe was warm, and they even included a basic sign language guide in the menu so you can communicate with the servers. But for me, it was extra personal. I grew up learning sign because my aunt, who lives with us, is deaf—so signing is second nature to me. When I signed with our server and saw her light up, it instantly made my day. Moments like that remind me how beautiful inclusion is when people are seen, respected, and embraced. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a reminder of the kind of world we should all be creating. Big love to this café for serving food with heart and purpose. What a beautiful experience.

I visited there all deaf worker garden Cafe restaurant.they did great service and friendly. I ate nacho very good taste Mexican yum yum awesome

I had to try Garden Café when I saw that they serve Starbucks coffee, knowing that there aren’t any Starbucks branches in Bohol. True enough, they do serve Starbucks, though it’s the Nespresso-style pre-mixed shot kind (not brewed from whole beans), but still a nice option to have. I really enjoyed their bluberry cheesecake. It wasn’t overly sweet or too cheesy, just the right balance with a nice creamy texture. The ambiance of the place is great, and I love that they employ Deaf staff — it’s wonderful to see inclusivity in action. A shout-out as well to Kuya guard at the parking area who's very helpful and friendly. Looking forward to trying more from their menu on my next visit!

Generous servings and pleasant ambience. I appreciate how you support the deaf community!

Good food. Delicious ice cream and crepes. We had salted caramel, pistachio ice creams which were very delectable. We also had mango and chocolate/banana crepe. They are a must try. Will definitely come back for more.

So hot there. No air-condition, only fan Bad choice for me, I want delicious deseart and very cool place. I was fooled by the reviews. Ice-cream is so so ( we ate vanilla and lemon and malcha) Bowl is like a meal... not deseart If you want meal, it's ok. Taste is not bad. Anyway not good for me.

If you’re looking for a perfect breakfast meal don’t worry Wild Gelato & Crepe House is the best place. Salty or sweet both incredibly delicious! Absolute favorite 😍

It was a hot midday when we decided to spend some time here and enjoy some gelato and crepes. While the sweetness level was just right, the flavors seemed a bit too artificial for my taste. I was particularly disappointed with the gelato, as it felt like it was mostly sugar with pretty colors. I do want to give credit to the staff for their kindness. The place could be a little cooler for added comfort. Wi-Fi is available.

Food is okay, and their breakfast bowls are very filling. Their indoor area is hot, which was a little disappointing because sometimes what you need under some time in the sun is artificial cold.

Best Gelato in Alona! easy to spot, and affordable. so far this is my fav gelato place in alona.

TRY THEIR GELATO. Had zero expectations of what the desserts would taste like; we left satisfied because everything we got was surprisingly delicious. 🌟 Ordered the hazelnut, pistachio, salted caramel & mixed berries gelato and enjoyed them! Not too sweet! The mixed berries had a sorbet texture, but the rest were smooth and oh so creamy. Also had the mango bowl and strawberry yogurt smoothie, and altogether enjoyed the cozy vibes!

This mellow spot in Panglao, Bohol is a must-visit! I ordered the chocfudge and it was LOVE AT FIRST TASTE! So rich and creamy, not too sweet, and the chocolate flavor was just right. The ambiance is cozy and relaxing and the staff were friendly and attentive too! Will definitely be back for more!

I really love this popsicle ice cream. Mango yogurt is ❤️. Tastes so good and delicious much. And special thanks to Ms. Rhea & Vanessa, a very friendly and smiling face as I've ordered this one....🫶🫶🫶

Perfect way to cool off after getting some sun and enjoying Alona Beach. Just by the roadside. They gave outside chairs with big fan while you enjoy your popsicle. I had mango and basil 👌👌👌 They have water based Popsicles with different fruit flavors. From.classics to tropicals like passion fruit mango, dragon fruit, blue pea etc Then cream based like strawberry, chocolate, etc

Delicious popsiclesice cream with unique flavors and friendly staff! The Oreo n' Cream was sweet and creamy. The dragon fruit mango is refreshing . I liked it, would come back to try the other flavors. ❤️

I went on a week vacation to Panglao Bohol and had the chance to try the frozen Yogurt Popsicles from mellow and WOW! they were absolutely amazing! It wasn't just the popsicle that made the experience memorable, but also the warm and outstanding service from their Store attendant, Rhea!! She was incredibly accommodating and hee enthusiastic recommendations made us so excited to try Everything! We ended up buying seven popsicles! Big KUDOS to Rhea for making our visit EXTRA special. I'll definitely be coming back for more Mellow Ice Cream, and truly look forward to seeing Rhea again on my next visit!

Dragonfruit dip with white chocolate with toppings oreo and sourworm. It was such a delightful treat 😋 You must try to visit! 😉 I Highly recommended this place for anyone craving for a delicious dessert! ❤️

The Mango Yogurt was so delicious and the service was really great,too. I ate the whole thing even though it was quite heavy for one person🤤❤️ Must visit when you're in Panglao! Thank you.

The service ... what can I say except that the staff made us feel uncomfortable the whole time. Between the insistent looks and the laughter, we didn't enjoy our stay at all just because of the service. Do not hesitate to avoid this establishment. (The staff outside were very nice, but the long-haired girl and boy at reception are very uncomfortable). But the room were fine.

It was so good! Nice rooms, spacious and lightened and beds are comfortable. The breakfast is delicious and the view from the restaurant is breathtaking! 😃

Stunning panoramic views, peaceful atmosphere, and excellent service. The suite was spacious and very clean, and we enjoyed breakfast. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

This was a spur of the moment decision after having to change rooms two nights in a row and not being able to secure a room for the next four nights without changing again! Best decision we ever made, staff was extremely friendly and helpful in all aspects. Went to our room and were amazed at the view from the veranda, it was easy to enjoy. We were early for breakfast one morning and they started it early just for us... The service throughout the entire time was topnotch! The whole experience was one of the best we had, and will come here again

Bohol Vantage became our 2nd home during our vacation in the island. We have longed plan to visit the fantastic tourist spots, beaches and falls of Bohol. We immediately booked a superior room and deluxe apartment for our stay in Bohol Vantage because they can cater to a big family like ours. The accommodation came with a swimming pool and free breakfast. The breakfast was free but delightful 😊. It gave us energy for our packed daily itineraries. All the staff were very helpful and hospitable. The view on top was mesmerizing. You can see the connection between Panglao and Tagbilaran and the sea in between. It was just stunning. Bohol Vantage also has a restaurant with Family meals that we enjoyed on our first night. It was very convenient after a day full of activities. We highly recommend Bohol Vantage Resort to all barkadas and families out there like ours who love to travel and explore. Hindi kayo magsisisi and it would be very much worth it. Thank you Bohol vantage! 🥰

Me and my family stayed here 27 - 31 March and were blown away at how beautiful this place is. Staff were exceptional in every aspect. Could not fault this place. Would definitely highly recommended to anybody looking to stay here.

What a view and good pizza and cordon belu (what we had) very chilled.

Had a mixed but mostly positive experience. The waffle had a strong eggy taste, which might not be for everyone, but the Nutella sauce and ice cream pairing was delicious. The sandwich was perfectly made and very satisfying. Coffee was also enjoyable. Service was excellent; the staff were friendly and checked in often to make sure everything was okay. There’s plenty of seating for groups of all sizes, and games are available to keep you entertained while waiting. One downside is the limited parking space, and the price felt a bit steep. Still, a pleasant spot overall, especially if you enjoy relaxed dining with good service.

i’m the type who loves her matcha bitter, lasang damo kumbaga. and this one gave me that taste! though the color was kinda sad (not the green I was hoping for), i’d still give it a solid 7/10. the artisan cheeseburger, on the other hand, was SOOOO good. like, i could honestly eat it every day. the carrot cake was a bit too sweet for my liking (not much of a sweet tooth here), but if you are, you’d definitely love it! 🎀💗🩰

Very friendly and Great service! The foods and drinks were yummy! Nice ambience but a little dark. Keep up the good work! We love it here! Highly recommended!

5 star place and 5 star coffee (and smoothie). Their crepes are from another world, I can’t thank enough the waiter and his perfect attention to detail. Coffee is roasted at the moment and they have oat option, not so common in other coffee places. Would definitely recommend spend some quality time reading or playing their games, they even have mikado and domino for you to play :)

Had an excellent experience with this cafe. The food is comforting, the staff is very approachable, the atmosphere is relaxing❤️ Also love their sourdough bread💯

Amazing breakfast. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and was so delicious, also the caramel oat milk ice latte was one of the best i have had. Our waiter Jonel was so nice and friendly and chatty and helpful. They have a good selection of food, drinks, games, books and seating area and also free parking. The music was really nice too. Will definitely visit when i am here again.

- staff are very accommodating - cozy place to chill - quality of food is really good, better than the usual ice cream and sandwiches normally available. - would also recommend the coffee we ordered flat white and caramel macchiato - with free wifi

Great sandwiches around the corner from the beach and dive shops, perfect for a quick lunch you can bring to the beach. Sandwiches are very tasty and decent size but the rub on the more expensive side. I had the Cubano and the pulled pork and they were both very tasty. I actually went there twice, 2 days in a row.

Their pesto sandwich is really delicious, We ate it 30 mins later but it still taste good. Best sandwich i’ve tasted in bohol. The portion is humongous, me & my husband shared the sandwich but I barely finished it and I was so full.

Great place, a sandwich with very generous portion, only take away, most importantly they have vegan/vegetarian menu🥰 and the worker there was so welcoming and friendly!

Love it here! The sandwiches are made to order and taste great, lots of good options. The ice cream is also nice and staff are super friendly. Mariel was lovely, and they are even open 24/7 for a late night snack. Recommend to everyone!

Really enjoyed the food. The sandwiches, salads and waffles are great and the best quality. Shout out to Angelyn for being so funny and nice 😊

Very good sandwiches! Metch was very kind and we had a lovely conversation while I waited. Will definitely come again!

Highly recommended!!! Perfectly made ciabata bread not too hard not too soft 👌 we just had the italian job ciabata and a ceasar salad to take away. Salad was really really good from the lettuce medium cuts the croutons was crispy and warm everything was sooo good. Was really happy to spot that small shop they have. Would be better to have a take away and eat it in a aircon place or in your hotel room. Its worth the price too!!

Good dessert. Very filling, the serving is too much for one person. Very friendly staff, had a friendly conversation with the staff, very interesting guy.

I had a delightful experience at this spot! The sandwiches were very good, fresh, and healthy tasting. I absolutely loved the quality and flavors. The portions were just right, making for a satisfying meal. What truly stood out was the exceptionally friendly and talkative staff. Special thanks to Metch for providing excellent service , they were attentive and cheerful. Whether you're craving a healthy sandwich or a refreshing smoothie bowl, this place hits the mark. The atmosphere was welcoming and the overall experience was pleasant.

This place serves up bomb sandwiches, coffee and juices. I came here at least four separate occasions and tried a new sandwich each time that were all fire. Metch is great person that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great ice cream and friendly staff. The sundaes are huge— even two of us couldn’t finish one.

Great place to grab a quick snack on the go, I had a tuna and cheese sandwich, it was tasty, very good, good portion and the staff is lovely and amazing. Highly recommended with good prices and above all this is a community project, helping the people from the island. And the best of it, it’s 24/7.

Very friendly staff. Kudos to Metch for taking care of my order. Make sure to try their American Philly Cheesesteak ciabatta sandwich. 👍👍👍

Excellent customer service by metch she was amazing so lovely friendly helps u with menu and the food I’ve come here everyday for 10 days never a bad taste so amazing cx

It was super quiet when we visited, probably because of the rain. We were served right away, staff were very friendly. We had the beachside outback deluxe burger and they were MASSIVE, so so delicious too. Would recommend for your burger fix! Only thing was they didn’t have a working toilet.

This spot was such a find for lunch! The staff were so friendly and kind! The shrimp sinigang was an awesome tangy sour flavour and brilliant on a wet and rainy day! The mango shake was DELISH!!!

Very delicious food they serve Unlimited pancake as well every sunday

The food is very good, which is the only reason we gave it a second try in the morning. Unfortunately, the morning staff seemed annoyed we were there, and both times we had to wait nearly an hour after opening for food. The food kept me coming back once more and then my girlfriend also found hair in her food, so there will not be a third time.

We were staying not far from here and after we went once we just kept going back! One night we even got the food delivered. My favourite was the chop suey. The hamburgers were certainly a hit with the boys! Go hungry.

A fantastic place in Bohol to visit anytime day or night for food or just drinks and great cocktails to chill out in the great atmoshere here. They open early and stay serving until late. The owner Arnel is a great natural host and the staff are all very friendly with great quick service. The prices are very reasonable also. They have plenty of nice seating areas in the shade with many outdoor fans to keep you cool. They do Karaoke, plays some great sounds and occasionally have live music too. This really is a great place to check out when you are in the area with a great mix of locals and tourists enjoying the great vibe here.... Give it a try ! Highly recommended 👌

Simple but good food 👌 Very friendly staff, prices are affordable. 100% recommend. I would only have liked to get some rice with the pork Sisig

We liked the relaxing vibe and pretty interior at Namoo. The Vietnamese Beef Soup was very good; light but tasty. I could not taste the coriander even though the menu says it has coriander but it's okay because I'm not a fan of coriander. The BBQ platter was also delicious. My friend found it a bit salty but it was okay for me. The have huge servings. The bbq platter can be shared by 2-3 people, just order extra rice. They only accept cash or Gcash.

I visited Namoo Café in Panglao and ordered the shrimp pasta — it was absolutely delicious! The café has a very aesthetic vibe, perfect for relaxing or taking photos. The staff are friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality and taste of the food make it worth it. Definitely a nice spot to check out in Panglao!

We ordered strawberry yogurt, café latte, and chocolate cake. The cake slice was generous—perfect for sharing. The café latte leaned on the bitter side but was still enjoyable. I particularly liked the strawberry yogurt, which had real strawberry bits. The café is spacious, though the lighting could be improved; some lights were blinking when we visited after dinner. Overall, it’s a nice, chill spot for brunch, coffee, and dessert.

We had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The service was exceptional—staff were attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of. The food was equally impressive: fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and beautifully presented dishes. It's the kind of place where you feel genuinely welcomed and leave satisfied. Highly recommended for both the quality of the food and service.

Food was okay. I tried the kimchi fried rice. The mango shake was sweet. Spacious space, and well lit. They have wifi but it’s a bit unstable.

Came here during typhoon Tino and it was a great way to get out of the house and enjoy the afternoon in a cozy place. Delicious coffees. Friendly and efficient staff. Good wifi. A nice stop on your way to Alona town!

We enjoyed our latte, matcha latte and strawberry yogurt shake. Spacious interior, big windows and aircon make for a comfortable experience. Staff is attentive.
