Good old times are cherished best with a cup of coffee at hand. Hanging out in a cozy place which feels like home.
Welcome to Puerto Princesa's Mayad Café!
Mayad pronounced as mã-yàd is a Cuyunon (a native Palawan dialect) word which means good and pleasant.
The interior is dainty and elegantly decorated.
I highly recommend a late night visit to cap your day
with Palawan coffee at hand...
My yummy cheese cake :P
And another devilishly "mayad" moist chocolate cake (made me say bye-bye to my diet).
When on vacation you may as well forget about dieting!
Tips:
- Choose seats upstairs with a view. I personally find it more appealing.
- Call in advance and inquire about their acoustic nights. Best if you can time your visit to one.
- Order one of their creamy desserts to go with your coffee, truly "masabor" (that is Cuyonon for delicious).
- Mayad also offer all day breakfast, we had take out and they were exceptionally good (too bad I forgot to take pictures).
After spending hours communing with nature ~ chill, relax and do some people sighting at Mayad Café.
Mayad Cafe is open daily from 11am to 11pm.
It is located at
Freedom Park Ground City Coliseum,
San Pedro Puerto Princesa.
(If taking a tricycle, please ask to be taken to the City Coliseum you will find Mayad Cafe easy).

True, when you travel, forget about the diet and try different foods. I missed Palawan!
ReplyDeleteI know right. The hotel we stayed in has gym facilities I tried to burn a few calories to break even from all the sweets I ate... but it was hopeless!
DeleteWe were in PP Nov last year, sayang d namin nasurvey to.. the place looks very cozy, and the chocolate cake is very tempting! :))
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate cake was hands down one of the best I have had. It was perfect with Mayad's coffee.
DeleteI've yet to visit Palawan! Maybe when the kids are a little bit bigger, hehe! I'll put this on my list plus Baker's Hill for my crinkles!
ReplyDeleteI miss Palawan! Hope to he back soon and try this place! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Palawan. The cafe looks so chill. And the chocolate cake! Who could say no to that? Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteOh I miss Puerto Princesa, I hope we could go back there and try this restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI don't diet while on vacation, too, so thank you for this recommendation! I would love to visit Palawan someday!
ReplyDeleteHow are the price points?
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty neat! Gotta visit this place when I get the chance. Thanks for talking about this! Looks good and yummy! :)
ReplyDeletei missed coffee a lot! Its been 4 months since i last tasted a coffee and i miss it terribly. I promised myself not to take even a little while im preggy but the smell and look of it is so tempting... however, i could settle for those cakes for a while..
ReplyDeleteWe were just Puerto Princesa last month but we went straight to El Nido. Next time we'll allot more time in the city.
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to go to Puerto Princesa for our 1st year anniversary but I was due to give birth soon. Sayang, sana matuloy na this year so we can try this cafe. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember I've seen Mayad Cafe as one of the choices of where-to-eat in PP. I was part of the planning team kasi for our company's outing last year and isa ang PP sa choices kaya naghanap din kami ng places to eat. Mukha ngang relaxing itong Mayad Cafe - sayang di kami natuloy sa PP. We could've visited this after a day of team building!
ReplyDeleteMayad Cafe looks like a great coffee shop. I'll make sure o drop by when I visit Palawan.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get back to Palawan, I'll look for this cafe! :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried this yet when we visited Palawan. It is something new to try as the next time.I.visit Palawan, I am.eyeing to.bring with me my boys.
ReplyDeleteI love a nice cafe. Visited Puerto Princesa eons ago. This cafe probably didn't exist yet then.
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so amazing. I have to agree with you traveling and dieting are two things that don't match! :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't been to Palawan yet and I really want to go there :(( I hope to visit one day and check this one out :)
ReplyDeleteThe place is interesting- I wonder how was the Palawan coffee brew differs from other local varieties? I am a heavy coffee drinker so I just wonder. (Macy)
ReplyDeleteBecause we stayed in an island resort during our family vacation in Puerto Princesa a few years ago, we didn't get to tour the city. That's something we will do next time, and hopefully, we get to drop by Mayad Cafe, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Palawan but I'm trying his resto when I go. Thanks for the recommendation! :)
ReplyDeleteI like how it looks. Sooo serene. Would love to have coffee at Mayad. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks very cozy, just ideal for easy, quiet time alone or relaxed fun with a group.
ReplyDeleteI wish to be able to see Palawan soon with my kids. It's very helpful for you to feature cafes from these places.
ReplyDeleteChocolate cake!!! That's making me drool now! :) I haven't heard of this cafe. When we were in Palawan (years ago), we dined in the usual Filipino restaurants and did not try smaller cafes.
ReplyDeleteI believe I’ve read about this before... Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely include it in our itinerary when we visit Palawan.
