Common Ground Cafe - Surigao

Really disappointed by this place. It could have been perfect but it was not at all... considering the power shutdown, we knew that we would not have all the options for breakfast but it was really limited. The pancakes we had were super good, nothing to say! But my friend had just cereals and milk instead of a smoothie, and we were charged the full price. This was not the worst tho, we rented one scooter from this place and after spending 2000php at that place for 5 breakfast and coffee (which is about 35€, quite expensive for Philippines), the guy told us 350php per day and we ended paying 500php for one day, non sense, we gave up at the end. On top of that, one of the lady was getting her finger nails removed near the kitchen, I have a proof but I will not post this picture here. It could have been a 5 stars, really if the guy was more comprehensive and the people from that place were nicer with us.

This is by far the best breakfast in the Philippines. A stonesthrow away from 2 great surf spots, away from the crowds, incredibly amazing staff (and owners)... Home made EVERYTHING, suitable for vegetarians too and sourdough lovers... MUST TRY, REPEAT AND REPEAT!

Best stay in Philippines! We went to stay 3 nights and ended up staying 7, We wish we could stay a month! The food in the coffee is amazing and the staff is super friendly! The owners are very nice! The yoga class in the morning is really great!

Never expected to find such nice food on the island! The best breakfast we’ve had so far. There is no fan so it’s quite hot and also there are lots of flies : If these two things were somehow fixed I’d spend more time there : Seems that most of the things they have are vegan, if not vegetarian! Definitely recommend it!

If I fancy eating smoothie bowls and or if I know of anyone craving for one, I'd bring them here. Coco-Nutta is my fave! They also have nice cottages with outdoor showers. They have a dedicated yoga space with mats.
