THE COFFEE TABLE (fondly referred to as TCT by its loyal patrons) holds the distinction of being THE FIRST SPECIALTY COFFEE SHOP in Naga City. Founded in 2014 by a family of coffee enthusiasts, TCT has already captured the hearts and palates of Naguenos, Bicolanos and of every travelling guest who has already dined in at TCT. Conveniently located on the second floor of ADC Hotel along Magsaysay Avenue—Naga City’s premier destination for food, drinks, lifestyle, and entertainment—TCT offers exceptional coffee, delicious food, and an inviting atmosphere. Now, let me share you what I can tell you about their coffee. TCT offers machine-brewed and manually-brewed options, tailored to your preference. They use highly-graded Italian beans in most of their drinks and also specialty coffee beans for the rest. Committed to quality, TCT even sources local-variant specialty raw green coffee beans itself and roast them in-house to ensure their guests a memorable coffee experience. Whether you prefer hot, iced, espresso-based, or hand-brewed coffee, TCT has something for you. TCT’s menu extends beyond coffee, offering a variety of pasta, sandwiches, crepes, appetizers, and non-coffee drinks. Here are a few of my favorites and the must-try dishes at TCT. Check out their HUNGARIAN TORPEDO, BUFFALOED and PHILLY CHEESESTEAK for the sandwiches, VONGOLE, VERDURE, SALCICCIA and LASAGNA for the pasta. Even the pasta, not only the coffee, is Italian! TCT is conveniently located less than 500 meters from The Basilica Minore, home of Our Lady of Peñafrancia. Its accessibility makes it an ideal spot for breakfast meetings or coffee sessions after morning mass. Opening daily at 8 AM, TCT is ready to serve you a hearty breakfast and a steaming cup of coffee or tea. TCT features a modern yet rustic interior with warm lighting, comfortable seating, and standard cafe music, creating a cozy atmosphere suited for any occasion. The fully air-conditioned space includes free Wi-Fi and a friendly, well-trained staff to ensure a pleasant visit. TCT also has an al fresco terraza at the far corner, with few tables and good seats—for a more-relaxed and close to nature atmosphere while enjoying the view of the bustling Magsaysay strip. When in Naga, visit TCT for an unforgettable coffee and dining experience. Be sure to try their latest creations: SPICY PILI AFFOGATO ad PILI CREAM PIE—a unique twist on local flavors. THE COFFEE TABLE is open to serve you as early as 8AM until 11PM, EVERYDAY.

Very delicious candies. Super worth it! Definitely a must-try.

As long as I can remember, we always celebrate family occasions here. It’s good to know that we are still comfortable doing it here again. The deep fried pork hock will always be my favorite savory dish served here. Servings are reasonable. It is pricey but not bad. Service was great.

The stall is located at the Food Plaza (foodcourt) of Pacific Mall. Live music is sometimes played at the foodcourt but since there are many vacant spaces, the general atmosphere is not great. I'm not a huge fan of halo-halo so I just went with the "midget" size which was more than plenty for me. Midget Halo-halo (P85) I found the halo-halo pretty good and I might add cheese to my takeout from other places in the future. Brings a sliver of cheesiness and creaminess to the halo-halo which can often be too sweet. No ice cream needed. If you're just ordering this as an after-dinner snack, I think the midget is enough for two people to share already.

Love the Pinangat and Shanghai. The Pinangat is bit sweet but it is tasty and good. The place is clean and quiet. I visited on a Monday though. The staff is also nice.

Brought my family here three times already. The first time was unplanned and we went for afternoon coffee. The second one was when my mother in-law died, it's the first time we dined inside the restaurant wing. And the last one this year, we took my wife's cousin for a mid-afternoon lunch. We ordered pinakbet, sisig, red velvet and rice that we can eat. I also ordered cafe latte. I do love their latte (never ordered any other coffee in this establishment). Not exactly pricey for Manila standard, considering the quality! If you are in Sorsogon or Barcelona, or even Casiguran - do not forget to drop by this worthwhile cafe!

This place was nice, I didn't expect it to be a chic cafe, because I can't feel the ambience when you are looking from the outside. Their chef's burger combined with fresh fried fries also tasted good for me although I rushed to eat because we're in a hurry. Their black forest smoothie was just fine, but if you're not into much sugar or sweets, just go for fruity shakes there. I would recommend White Bean for being a silent and cozy place, with a heart welcoming food😍

Good food, good variety! 😍

If you're looking to relax and unwind, The Oriental Legazpi is definitely the place to stay. What a great hotel! The staff are welcoming, attentive, and respectful. Upon arrival, we are greeted with warm towels and refreshing drinks—a lovely welcome. The hotel is very clean and beautifully designed. It has a spacious lobby that makes a strong first impression. The rooms are large and comfortable, with adjoining options ideal for families or groups of friends. One of the best is the breathtaking view of Mayon Volcano, especially from the swimming pool. There are also a couple of restaurants within the hotel. Their food is good, and their buffet offers a wide range of choices to suit different tastes. The bar is beautifully designed and features two uniquely styled private rooms, perfect for small gatherings. A big thank you to the staff of The Oriental Legazpi for making our stay so wonderful and memorable!

the food is authentic Bicol dishes. there's also this roast pork which is falvorful. bicol express ice cream, must try

A cafe that will let you see a glimpse of the places you want to visit in your bucket list. Though it can only accommodate less than 30 people as they only have 5-6 tables with 2-4 chairs. If you are dining with a group of 10 or more you’ll be able to occupy the entire cafe. As for their menu, they offer a wide selection of hot and cold coffee. They also have cakes and cookies. My favorite is their Concord Cake which has the right amount of sweetness. If you want to buy some souvenirs they have a corner with bags and dresses for sale. Just inquire with their staff. The staffs are accommodating and friendly. Place 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Food 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Staff 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The 'Crispy Pinangat' of Chef Ton here is just simply to die for!! =)

Promising good tasting cakes. Tried their Tiramisu and chocokate cheesecake, it feels rich in the mouth. The taste was also fine, not too sweet or lacking. If you're tired of the cakes from graceland, baker's plaza or other common shops, Rafabel's a good place to buy cakes!

Haven't tried the other pastries there but I really like their bibingka. Mas masarap pa kaysa dun sa Bibingkinitan and it's not too sweet. Might try some of the other items on their menu when I have the chance.
