    Hello everyone. I am traveling from the USA to Dumaguete in November of this year. The last time I was in your city was 10 years ago. I enjoyed my trip, but I was looking for a good cup of coffee. Where is the best place to get a great cup of coffee in Dumaguete City?

    I enjoy this forum since it is very informative. Rob

    Hi Robs and welcome to the forum. There is a coffee bar just inside the entrance of Super Lee Place, where you can get a variety of brewed coffee. If this is the best in town or not, I really don`t know, since to be honest, the best coffee, I get, when I am "home" in Dumaguete, is the one, that I bring with me from Europe and brew in my own house :smile:

    I think you will find, that Dumaguete has changed/grown quite a lot in the past 10 years, so prepare yourself for a mild chock, when you arrive.

    It is nothing like the development, which has taken place on tourist destinations like Phuket in Thailand or Boracay for that matter. But still pretty remarked, and particularly if your last visit was as long as 10 years ago.

    Welcome Rob.
    My best coffee I had at a coffee bar/restaurant at the second floor of the Spanish Heritage at the back of Don Atiliano in Sta Catalina street.
    Coffee was good.....but beer they don't offer :o:rolleyes:

    For great local coffee sweatened with condensed milk in the morning try the 3rd or 4th stall in the public market. Get a fried egg sandwich with it, very affordable and tasty.

    I think the coffeeshop jellyfish is referring to is Cafe Antonio. they also serve meals and desserts and have wifi so you definitely get more than just coffee there.
    It would be great to see more and better coffeeshops in Dumaguete though.
