Café Laguna

Merienda time the Filipino way. 🇵🇭

Both of my parent's loves to eat here. Super delish foods are served. My personal faves are embutido, camaron rebosado and lechon kawali. Fast service, approachable crew and clean place.🏻

Love their crispy pata, dinuguan and desserts. Their crispy pata is meaty and cooked to crispy perfection that will have you ordering cups of rice for this one. I love how their dinuguan isn't so gamey and with the right amount of vinegar. The desserts they have are very decliciois as well like the puto, suman with mangos, and their bibingka. Their bibingka is cooked to perfection with the right amount of egg and shaved coconut. Their fresh lumpia is also a perfect merienda.

So disappointed. The first time I tried their Kare Kare it was so delicious and creamy but then I tried again it was not same taste than the first time

This is THE place to visit in Cebu if you want excellent Tagalog food - Binagoongang Baboy (I think there is no Cebuano version of this dish) and authentic maasim na Sinigang (since the local version is less sour). Other must-try items include the Bistek Tagalog, Chicharong Bulaklak, Tinolang Manok, Camaron Rebusado and Crispy Pata. Cafe Laguna's prices have remained relatively affordable through the years although serving sizes have decreased significantly. Nevertheless, the taste is all that matters.

Always a pleasure to eat here. The liempo and Laing are awesome. Try the kare-kare as well. I stop by at least once on any trip to Cebu.

Just had to post this.

Don't know if it's just me, but it's the BEST cafe latte i've ever had. Extremely smooth, i can even smell the aroma even after every gulp. Then pair it with their bibingka which is really good as well.

Sad they have branches in Visayas only :(

I was given the chance to go back to Cebu on a work trip. It's so cool that our boss brought us here for lunch! Since he did the ordering, it wasn't to my complete liking. But the food was still yummy.

Everytime i stare at this picture, I am reminded of how good and fresh seafood is in the Visayas region. Cafe Laguna serves good Filipino food in Cebu. The owner also was a finalist and a winner of Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. Whopeee!

We ordered a seafood platter and we were only two! Yeaum! Can't get enough! :) Cafe Laguna serves yummy and fresh veggies, too! Not to mention your usual pampabata Flip food. Mmmm...good.

For me, the best crispy pata and chicken pandan. Cebuno version of fine dining..

Servers are slow. It took them 15 mins to get our order and another 40 minutes to serve our food. And when they served it, they didn't follow our clear instructions to remove seafood from our veggies. The food is good but their service was a complete opposite in our case.

If one is looking for the traditional pinoy taste and cuisine then this might be the place that would satisfy your palates.
I rated okay because when we were there the food service was kind of slow. But the food was great so it was still fine after all

Snack time before going to airport ....

I loved it.

aside from their Pinoy Specialties, try GINUMIS!! it's a yummy Pinoy cooler drink with coconut milk, gulaman, and pinipig!! :)

I liked it.

The first time i tried Cafe Laguna was way back in 2007... We tried fried kangkong, dinuguan with puto and the infamous crispy pata!! After all this year of returning to this place, the food are still the same.. In addition to what i tried is their bolo based soup, sizzling bangus with coconut, and for merienda try the lumpiang ubod... A must try here is their puto-bongbong i'm not that sure if my spelling is correct but you guys should try it... Based on other reviews this restaurant are just so-so, but for me this restaurant is always on my list when i visit here!!! Bon-a-petite!!!

If you're in Cebu City and craving for Crispy Pata, this is the place to go. It's found in the Ayala Center mall, in the terraces section. Everything else we ordered, like the Calamares or the Tanigue was so-so. But the crispy Pata really stood out. Crispy skin and tender flavorful meat. The service was not so great since there were a lot of people dining at the time. Regardless, this place is worth a try!

I woke up late today in my hotel room and the first thing that popped in my head was 'crispy pata.' And in Cebu, there's only one place to get the best crispy pata in town - Cafe Laguna.

Conveniently located within Ayala Center Cebu's The Terraces, Cafe Laguna is a must go lunch place for both tourists and locals.

Being a consistent awardee of Sooo Pinoy, a Phillipine culinary award given to the country's best restaurants, Cafe Laguna prides itself with a robust line of Filipino favorite cuisines, to please any discriminating palate. It is safe to be adventurous on your food trip in Cafe Laguna, go ahead and try anything on the menu.

As for me, I am already in lunch heaven with my crispy pata, which is only P345 - an extremely reasonable price for such an outstanding dish.

So-so. Nothing special.
