Top 5 Best Breakfast Siargao
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.
Opening times: Every day 7:30 am – 7:30 pm.
Recommendations: Set breakfast with Ciabatta bread for 400 PHP
Average price: 200 – 400 PHP ($3-6).
Visit the main Siargao highlights including the Maasin River, Sugba Lagoon, Magpupungko Rock Pools, and Coconut Viewdeck.
All entrance fees, a private guide, and roundtrip transport to your accommodation included.
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.
Opening times: Every day 6:30 am – 6 pm.
Recommendations: Bom Dia Smoothie Bowl 300 PHP, Banana Bread

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.
Opening times: 7 am – 3 pm (last food order 2 pm).
Recommendations: French Toast 110 PHP + Creamy Cloud 9 Coffee 160 PHP.
Average Price: 150 – 300 PHP ($2-5).
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.
Opening times: 7 am – 11:30 am for breakfast. Open until 11 p.m.
Recommendations: Mushroom Delight 350 PHP, Morning Glory 290 PHP.
Average Price: 250 – 400 PHP ($3-6).
Philippines Essentials Packing List
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.
Opening times: Every day 7 am – 6 pm.
Recommendations: Eggs Benedict 330 PHP.
Average Price: 200 – 400 PHP ($3-6).
Where to stay in Siargao
When visiting Siargao, most people tend to stay in the tourist hub General Luna, close to the main bars, restaurants, nightlife, and activities.
I would recommend Mao Mao Surf Hostel. This hostel offers a laidback surfing vibe and rustic private bungalows at a medium-range budget.
Embrace the tropical island vibes and live in the jungle, with an outdoor bamboo shower, hammocks, and an amazing surf school.
This is a great option for couples. Prices for a private room start at $50.00 per night.
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.
Travel around Siargao like a local and get your bike from a trusted merchant.
Reliable service, a choice of well-maintained bikes, and optional delivery to your accommodation.
How many days do you need in Siargao?
I would recommend at least 4 days in Siargao to take advantage of the island and land activities, including Sugba Lagoon, Pamomoan Beach, and the Maasin River.
Ideally, the best amount of time in Siargao would be a week. This would allow enough time to enjoy the chilled-out vibe and try surfing at one of Siargao’s most beautiful beaches.
For those who like to party and socialise, staying a week would also give you time to check out the vibrant Siargao nightlife scene.
