The best truffle cream pasta I've tasted in Tacloban. The mushroom taste is right and not too overpowering and the bacon bits made it perfectly savory! Paired with mango cheesecake drink, perfect! The ambience artsy style is very homey too! Highly recommend this place.
What a cool place to eat/chill in Tacloban. I wasn’t expecting anything about their food. But their shrimp and sausage was really good! The place was also super cool - very nostalgic! Staff were kind also.
This is our goto place whenever were in Tacloban. Very artsy vibe and they have a big parking space. The mini museum on the second floor was well curated by the owner. If your a fan of WW2 and old stuffs this place will give you gibbis. Tho small, but they have interesting display. Coffee and cake is good. Sandwiches are okay. They have free wifi, request for a wifi voucher over the counter (1 voucher per person). Toilets are clean. They have a separate toilet for male and female. A work table suitable for a quick job. The place is a little hard to find very confusing to foriegners but follow the route here in google map you wouldnt have any problem.
Stopped in from Australia for a coffee and stayed for hours! This place is one of Tacloban’s Hidden Gems. The coffee is very very good! A great variety and selection of food. The home made Baked Cheese Cake is the best in the Philippines ????????!!! There is also a WW2 Museum full of fascinating artefacts and memorabilia. This place is a MUST SEE! You won’t be disappointed
We just had a very satisfying lunch at popular seafood resto and decided to have coffee before heading to the airport to flyback to Manila. And wow, we found this place, Instead of just coffee, we were astonished to see a vast collections of antiques (from war memorabilias to old cameras, typewriter, money bills & coins, soaps, softdrink bottles, and many more. A very nice work and effort from the husband & wife owners of the place. Salute to both of you and God bless! By the way, their coffee and banana wrap were so good.
Quality food and place with a touch of memorable historical pieces. Visiting the 2nd floor seems you traveled back in time during World War II. Such a perfect place to savor dinner!
I love this place considering this is like a dream come true for me. I've always wanted to have a place like this for my poetry and photography and cafe.
Espazio Arts + Food + History is a great place to visit, especially for those who appreciate art and history. The cafe is known for its impressive collection of historical items and artwork, which adds a unique charm to the experience. Visitors can enjoy their food while taking in the view of the space and the various pieces that spark conversation. The cafe also has a second floor dedicated to showcasing historical exhibits, providing an extra layer of interest for visitors. The food is also good, and there are plenty of seating options, both indoors and outdoors. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place for both the atmosphere and the food.
