The best waffle last I have ever had in my life! Now called the Santuary cafe. Service was nice. Be a little patient . In an alley from the beachfront. Around 250 m. Worth it all. Got German Waffles, Pancakes, and a watermelon juice all for approximately $8.50. Less than 500 php. Pancakes were filling and couldn’t finish them after the waffles. I will return tomorrow. A wonderful experience.

Its name has been changed to The Sanctuary. Quaint little cafe that’s away from the tourist area. Great service, coffee was not bad and so was the ambience.

Probably our best coffee in Boracay. This shop deserves more love. Pancake was good. Corned beef too. Reasonably priced. Place is perfect to do some remote work as they have good internet and have outlets to charge devices.

The new name is the sanctuary! Such good service and coffee, the pricing is so reasonable and the crepes were delish. The owner gave us a free cookie and he was so attentive with great service.
