Full and happy without touching a ₱500 note.
A small everything-coconut café on Tourism Road: coconut coffee freezes, Vietnamese ca phe sua, buko shakes and homemade coconut ice cream served in coconut-shell bowls. It has one of the highest ratings of any food spot on the island despite being little more than a cool, rustic room.
A homegrown specialty roaster run by Arnie, a former Google barista, that most regulars rank as the best coffee in General Luna. The signature Creamy Cloud 9 cold brew and a famously good French toast keep the small shop rammed from early morning.
A sea-view vegetarian café in sleepy Burgos that doubles as a registered charity — proceeds fund food relief, maternal care and livelihood programs across north Siargao. Smoothie bowls go well beyond the usual mango-banana formula, and the homemade ice cream has a devoted following.
A roadside barbecue institution on the Dapa–General Luna road where you point at skewers — pork BBQ, chicken, tuna belly, squid, eggplant — and they hit the flaming grill on the spot. The smoke drifting over the road at dusk has been pulling in surfers and local families for years.
