Baguio City coffee shops to visit


Those escaping the summer heat for the chilly breezes and views of the City of Pines will want to take a break from all the exploring once in a while.

If you’re new to the city or returning after a long time away, here are 7 Baguio City coffee shops that locals love to hit up. Pop by to support local indie businesses that make Baguio the town it is today.


1. Kaffeeklatsch Baguio – cozy late-night coffee and live music spot

Many Baguio cafes have been shaken up during the pandemic, so we’re glad this classic spot is pushing on. A cozy cafe with an extensive coffee and tea menu that makes big chains’ look small in comparison, Kaffeeklatsch Baguio attracts nearby college students and youths looking for a laid-back place to chill.

Ice-blended beverages here range from P165-P255 (~USD3.25-USD5.02), and their hot drip brews such as highlands coffee and house blends from P105-P150 (~USD2.07-USD2.95) will warm you up on chilly days.


Live acoustic and jazz bands are invited to perform at the cafe

Baked mac and latte

Ideal for those on a budget who want to catch up with friends till late, the cafe is open till midnight. Climb onto its second-floor loft with floor cushions and seats that’ll make the space feel like your second home, or plop onto the wooden chairs and leather sofas on the first floor, filled with coffee-related souvenirs and memorabilia from the owners.
