The name of this cafe is apt for its location — a modest rural neighborhood in the old town of Bay. It is not a major thoroughfare, but it’s a good detour if you’re traveling between Los Baños and Calauan. The cafe has a designated parking space for those who want to stay awhile. 

The cafe has cheap and delicious espresso and milk tea concoctions, best matched with their cookies and cheesecakes. Their fries and rice bowls are also a must-try.

Another Insta-perfect roadside cafe in Laguna is Muni Coffee, with its pared-down aesthetic. This little coffee kiosk sits on a laidback section of the national highway, beautifully backdropped by trees and mountains.

The small wood-framed windows offer a glimpse of the cafe’s coffee bean selection and brewing equipment. Have a taste of their signature craft coffee made using V60, and espresso-based drinks like dirty matcha latte.
