However, when it comes to eggs benedict, smoothie bowls, and coffee, some places do it better than others.

Keep reading for the best cafes & breakfast spots Siargao has to offer.

Lunares

One of the best breakfasts in Siargao, Lunares offers set breakfast menus and a fantastic selection of pastries and sweet treats.

This place is slightly on the pricier side but definitely worth it. The portion size for the breakfast set menu was very fair and even comes with a coffee or fresh juice.

There is an option with a croissant, focaccia, ciabatta, or toasted bread, and all come with beautifully presented fresh fruits.

Their pastries are cooked to perfection and their desserts are incredible, I had the Nutella tart which I cannot fault at all.

Also, be sure to check out their specials of the day, my boyfriend had the pasta, which was homemade from scratch and super tasty.

The restaurant is Italian-owned and has a European cafe vibe to it.

They have great Wi-Fi and it is great for digital nomads who want to work and watch the world go by.

Shaka Cafe

If you’re craving something healthy and refreshing for your Siargao breakfast, then Shaka Cafe has to be top of your list.

This plant-based cafe is one of the best breakfasts in Siargao and their food is probably the most aesthetically pleasing on this list.

Situated in the Cloud 9 surfing area, this is the perfect breakfast spot for a post-surfing refuel, with gorgeous ocean views to accompany your morning coffee.

It can get quite busy, so make sure to get there early to guarantee you a seat. The star of the show is the smoothie bowl, which you can get with a coffee for 380 PHP ($6.90).

Probably the best plant-based restaurant in Siargao. Whether vegan or not, this is somewhere you cannot miss for a healthy satisfying start to your day.

White Beard Coffee

Possibly the best coffee in Siargao, you cannot miss White Beard as one of the top breakfast spots General Luna has to offer.

If you’re in a rush, you can grab a coffee to go and some freshly baked pastries.

But if you’re looking for something a little more substantial, White Beard offers an all-day breakfast, which is reasonable for the portion size.

They have a great selection of breakfasts, with options of eggs, french toast, waffles, or more traditional Filipino rice meals.

Not the healthiest on this list, but great if you’re craving something hearty or sweet.

Try and get here early if you can, as it gets super busy around 9 a.m. Once they have sold out of stuff, that’s it, so coming early is best for the widest selection. They also have alternative milk options.

Goodies

Goodies is one of the best Siargao breakfast spots for healthy bites made with love.

This restaurant and sustainable shop offers organic and environmentally friendly products and promotes a healthy lifestyle, which you can taste with every bite.

The ambiance is amazing, offering a chilled vibe and friendly service. They have a wide variety of breakfast options and all are suitable for vegetarians.

Their bread is homemade and their coffee is top-tier. The prices are not the cheapest but you pay for the quality of the ingredients, which are always fresh and tasty.

They are open all day for those who would prefer lunch or dinner. After breakfast, you can browse around their shop, as this is the place to be for all things sustainable.

Goodies also turns into one of the best nightlife spots in Siargao on a Wednesday.

Spotted Pig Cafe

One of the best places to enjoy breakfast Siargao, this restaurant offers beautiful pastries, homely decor, and one of the best coffees on the island!

The vibe is cozy with great music and super welcoming staff. The Wi-Fi is strong and there are lots of plug sockets for digital nomads.

They serve all-day breakfast and there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The Eggs Benedict is a bestseller for 330 PHP and is worth writing home about!

They offer lots of alternative milk and gluten-free options. It is also worth checking out their desserts. I believe this is the only restaurant on the list that accepts credit cards.

How to get around Siargao

The best way to get around Siargao is by scooter.

FAQs

Do restaurants in Siargao accept credit cards?

As far as I know, all but one of the above-mentioned restaurants accept debit or credit cards. This is typical in Siargao which is mainly cash payments and Gcash.

Although more places are beginning to accept credit cards, most places charge 5-10% extra for this. Your best option is to withdraw money from an ATM and have cash on you.

How many days should you spend in Siargao?

I would recommend a minimum of 4 days in Siargao.

During this time, you can take advantage of the island and land activities, including Sugba Lagoon, Pamomoan Beach, and the Maasin River.

If you are not short of time, the best amount of time in Siargao would be a week.

This would give you time for activities but also for enjoying the laid-back vibe, surfing, partying, and trying all the amazing food.

This is peak season in Siargao and you are (almost always) guaranteed a lively atmosphere and beautiful weather, so you can enjoy all the activities the island has to offer.

If you are a keen surfer, then the best time to visit would be August- November, which is the best time of year for catching those waves.

Whenever you decide to visit, this is a tropical island so always expect the unexpected. I visited in April and had some days of heavy rain.

Is Siargao a party island?

Siargao has one of the best nightlife scenes in the Philippines, with bars and live music to start your evening, and DJs and clubs to see you into the night.

If you are looking to party every night, then you will not be disappointed.

However, the party venue always changes, meaning the main crowds are quite concentrated and you will not find all the bars overrun.

This is great if you simply prefer a couple of beers and a sea view – the best of both worlds!
