Visiting Boracay soon?

Summer never ends in the Philippines, which is why our beaches are our prized possessions. Among the many beautiful beaches we have, it’s no secret that both locals and tourists favor Boracay and consider it one of the best.

Quick tip:

Here are some fun things you can do in Boracay:

  • Go cliff diving at Ariel’s Point.
  • Try beach hopping and participate in the volleyball matches, sunbathing, or swimming.
  • Spend some time appreciating the water and its natural beauty by either parasailing, riding a paraw, holding on to the flying fish, or going scuba diving.
  • Take the Mainland Adventure Tour if you’re not much of a beach person.
  • Ride the zipline.
  • Party in several pubs at night.
  • And of course, the foodie’s favorite: go on a food trip.

Real Coffee & Tea Cafe

Once, almost literally, a hole in the wall in Station 2 which opened in 1996, it has now moved to a new and bigger beachfront location in Station 2. Dubbed the ‘home of the Calamansi Muffins‘, it’s the most popular form of pasalubong, sometimes gifted, mostly requested. But while the muffins are good, Real Coffee is not all about just that. Mama Lee’s huge omelets are also crowd favorites.

P.S. Order your muffins one day in advance if you plan to take some home.
