"We had a California bagel and a Simply Healthy omelette. It was VERY delicious and tasteful. Our coffee and tea were also wonderful. The staff was very friendly. Atmosphere was relaxed with nice calm music. Only thing is that downstairs I think they were cleaning when we came in and there was an unpleasant smell. They asked us if would like to look for a place upstairs and there everything was fine. We would certainly come back here."

"We had breakfast at Brunch in El Nido and loved it so much that we went back twice! We tried the egg florentine, chicken panini, and Nutella waffle every single dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully done. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The ambiance and vibe are relaxed, cozy, and perfect for a slow, happy breakfast. Truly amazing food, great service, and such a lovely place overall. Highly recommend if you’re in El Nido!"

"The food was absolutely delicious—every bite was worth it. We ordered the English breakfast, and it did not disappoint. Their coffee deserves a special mention too; it’s easily one of my favorites in town. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and easy to call over. I also appreciated the service button at the table—it’s a thoughtful touch, especially during busy hours. That said, since the place gets quite full, service took a bit longer and the coffee arrived no longer hot. A small improvement could be keeping the coffee warmer and refining the plating, as the plates are quite large and could be styled better for presentation. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for brunch. The prices are fair, the food quality is great, and the experience is very satisfying. P.S. They accept cash only, so come prepared. Would definitely come back and recommend this place."

"We came here for breakfast, they said their wait time was 20-30 minutes, but they gave us our food quicker than that, our food did come at different times. My friend got the eggs Benedict and said they were the best she has ever had, so that’s a must try! I got the chicken panini but kind of tasted like tuna so I wasn’t sure if it was chicken or tuna. We also ordered the ham and cheese panini that was really good! You must order a chocolate chip cookie! It was very good!!!! We ordered lattes for our drinks. The side salad was super good!!! The pancakes looked good-freshly made!"

"I ordered a chicken panini, fresh calamansi juice, and a flat white. First off, the service is incredible, as per all of Philippines. The drinks were great and the flavors of the sandwich was good but a bit dry. I’d order again if chicken can be a bit juicier. They made my order super quickly since I asked for take out. The place was absolutely packed inside and outside."

Located right in the heart of El Nido, the food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented and very Instagrammable. Highly recommended!"
