There’s nothing quite like hot coffee in Baguio’s mountain air. To help you skip the tourist traps, I put together 10 of my go-to local cafes, from hidden garden spots to views of the pine trees.

A cozy home-turned-cafe with a lush garden yard. I love how relaxed it feels here. Their coffee is seriously good, but my must-try combo is the Dirty Hatchata with a grilled cheese sandwich, such a comforting pair!
Hatch Coffee
A cozy multi-level art café with beautiful balcony views of Baguio’s pine trees. 🌲☕ I’d happily spend an afternoon here with a good book, fresh-brewed Benguet coffee, and a slice of their famous Arca’s Docto Pie. Such a relaxing little escape!
Arca's Yard Café
Tucked under pine trees in the courtyard of Mt. Cloud Bookshop. Perfect for a quiet morning surrounded by books and nature. I recommend their Single-Origin Cordillera Pour-Over coffee
Hot Cat Specialty Coffee Baguio City Menu
Try Flat White paired with a Pain au Chocolat or Pistachio Croissant
Rebel Bakehouse
My fave: Ruins Coffee (brewed coffee served with local rice wine or muscovado sugar) alongside a traditional Filipino breakfast.
Cafe by the Ruins Baguio | Romantic Dinner in a Rustic ...
A sleek, trendy spot popular with digital nomads and students needing fast Wi-Fi and power outlets for a work session. Don’t miss their Ube Glaze Cold Foam or the Iced Salted Caramel Latte—both are worth trying!
Foam Coffee
A quiet sanctuary tucked away from central city traffic. Enjoy organic coffee while sitting in a tranquil backyard garden setting. Don’t miss their Slow-Drip Cold Brew paired with an Artisanal Burger.
Cafe de Angelo
You can’t go wrong with their Tsokolate Espresso! Pair it with their fresh Churros or Bibingka for an extra comforting treat.
Tsokolateria Artisanal Cafe
Classic open-air gazebo comfort right in the heart of Camp John Hay's pine forest. For something special, go for the Mocha Batirol—a comforting mix of traditional tablea hot chocolate and espresso.
Choco-late de Batirol
K-drama aesthetic interiors, photo-ops, and Korean fusion bites. My go-to picks here are the Einspänner and Korean Garlic Cheese Bread, but the Dalgona Latte is also a great choice if you prefer something sweeter.
