Great coffee and smoothie bowls - Edit
We went to Taste every day as we loved the coffee, smoothie bowls, and peanut butter and banana sandwiches. The staff are really friendly and they’re happy to give tips of what to see and do in the area.

Great smoothie bowls!! - Edit
This place is a must for breakfast time. They have a selection of 4 smoothie bowls and sometimes they’ll have a banana muffin, they also have 2 sandwiches (banana, jam, peanut butter combos)
Read moreThey are still recovering from COVID so they have no savoury options for lunch or dinner but they are open until late if you wanted to chill and have a coffee.
THEIR CHOCOLATE MILK WAS INSANE!!!

Awesome for breakfast, but still recovering - Edit
This place is only all-vegan restaurant in El Nido (as of May 2022), and everything we had there was delicious. They offer the full assortment of coffee drinks in all-vegan varieties- I was really impressed that they had vegan iced hot chocolate!! In terms of food, they offer smoothie bowls of various kinds, and two sandwiches (peanut butter & jelly and peanut butter & banana). It's not on the menu, but you can order a glass of vegan milk to pair with these for a great price!
Read moreBUT NOTE, that they do not have the wide range of menu options (mac & cheese, lasagna) that are mentioned in other reviews. We mentioned this to the owner and he said that they want to bring those back eventually, but are having to re-open slowly due to the pandemic. So as of right now it's not the best place for dinner, but it's perfect for breakfast (we ate almost every breakfast there and were very happy!!)

All vegan, all great - Edit
How wonderful it is to have so many fully vegan places in El Nido and Taste is one of the best!
Read moreThe Mac and cheese was one of the best I have ever had! Flavorful, creamy and perfectly seasoned! Not to mention a good portion size.
The eggplant lasagna was also amazing, with a huge slice as a portion and one of the best vegan cheeses there is.
We ordered a couple chocolate chip cookies for dessert and they were both pretty hard. A good tip is to stuff a piece of bread in the jar with them so they stay soft and yummy.
The prices weren’t too high and the cafe has a nice vibe to it.

Best smoothies 🤞🏽 - Edit
You will get a variety of amazing smoothies, so fresh, cold, and with all the healthy ingredients you can dream of. A bit expensive but definitely worth it. They also offer regular vegan dishes.

Delicious and best value in town - Edit
Compared to other places, taste offers the best value with the friendliest staff. Still, the prices are high, but at least you get something for your money. We had the Hello Yellow bowl as well as the Mac n Cheese. Both were delicious, and the smoothie bowl had a lot of toppings like goji berries, pumpkin seeds, and almonds on top of it. The Mac n Cheese was creamy and delicious too. The portion sizes are right, and you feel satisfied. 280 pesos for the smoothie bowl are reasonable, but 330 for the Mac n Cheese a tiny bit overpriced. Overall, taste offers a great experience, tasty food, and delicious coffee.

Great Lasagna and Juices - Edit
I went there for the lasagna, and for me personally was amazing, one of the best ones I’ve eaten. The juices were great too. I liked the overall experience. It wasn’t cheap although it was in the same price range of other similar vegan restaurants I’ve been in Philippines. If you go for the lasagna, be sure to get early there, at least for dinner, as I seen a lot of people coming to try to get one, and they were sold out. It’s a great place to go, the portion was perfect for me, and the staff was friendly.

Best scam in El Nido - Edit
This place is supposed to be one of the best in El Nido but we didn’t understand why. It’s the best rip off ! Only 4 choices on the menu, prices are really expensive and the portions are really small. You haven’t finished talking to make your order at the counter that they already ask for your money, which is very annoying for a place where you can sit down and be served. We went upstairs and out of the 6 or 7 tables 2 haven’t been cleaned for a while, old dishes everywhere. Under ours were a piece of food and a lot of ants. Lasagnas were ok but not crazy, very expensive for the small portion. If you are vegan the only thing is their cookie, also expensive for what it is. If you are vegetarian or vegan there is so much better in the next street and so much cheaper.

Don’t miss this cafe in el nido. I had the eggplant lasagne my first night which was to die for. The next day at lunch, the Mac n cheese, which was also amazing. And then the next the mex bowl. All were amazing, as well as their cookies and my friend had a açaí bowl which he loved.

Rico - Edit
Muy rica la comida, ambiente agradable y fresco. La Lagsaña y el mac and cheese estaban exquisitos. Sin embargo, el precio es desorbitante y carecen de variedad. De todas formas es mejor pagar algo allí, que veganizar algún plato en otro lugar, todo es caro por allí.
Read moreCons: Caro, pocas opciones.

Exquisito! - Edit
Pedimos el mac and cheese y la lasaña. Ambos platos muy muy ricos. No me suelen gustan los quesos veganos ultraprocesados que imitan el sabor del queso pero estos estaban a otro nivel 😋. Lo recomendaría, pero es un poquito caro.
