Chill & colorful place with a warm & welcoming vibe and a view of the town, sea, other islands and the sunset. Lots of reggae music - sometimes live. Has a large vegetarian menu where nearly all dishes are vegan. Serves mainly Filipino cuisine but also pesto and nachos made out of sweet potatoes. Has tofu dishes. Offers juices, tea, beers and cocktails. Reported fully vegetarian November 2022. Previously called Ala-e Hippie House. Open Mon-Sat 9:00am-1:00am.

Delicious food! Nice vibe :) - Edit
The vibe is amazing! The staff is really friendly and greets you when they walk by.
Read moreThe food is super delicious! 😋 I've eaten here two nights in a row and everything I ordered tasted wonderful! The only thing is that the portions are a bit small. If you are a big eater like me, maybe order two dishes from the start.

Good food , terrible service - Edit
The place has amazing decoration and vibe, also plenty of options, and the food is very good, BUT…the experience was ruined by the service. We were group of 4, of which I am the only vegan, two meals arrived after 45 min, and the other two 20 min after that. One of the meals had fries instead of rice, was taken away and came 15 min later with rice. The portions are small, the two men in our group had to go and eat something else after, the staff speaks very little english.

Delicious soup and environment - Edit
I had the Lumi soup and it was delicious. It might be that you think a hot soup in a sunny 30°Cday is not the best. I can tell you, it was worth every spoon (:
Read moreThe place is also very good. Great vibe, sights and environment. I would repeat during these days.
Pros: Lumi soup, Environment , Staff
Cons: Low tables, some people might find it uncomfortabl

Vegetarian cafe off the Main Street - Edit
Great to have a cafe with so many vegan options in Coron. Pretty quiet but decent food. Portions aren’t huge but it’s well priced.

Best venue in Coron - Edit
What an incredible place, the style of the venue, the staff, menu, and to top it off the view across the town and to the bay. The ambience was so connecting and it cleared my head of any noise, all whilst getting a flavoursome meal. Come here just before sunset and watch as the town changes through the sunset. 100% recommend!

Has potential - Edit
Burger tasted fine and prices good for Coron, although it’s a shame they charge 30pesos to swap a dollop of mayo for vegan mayo.
Read moreThe vibe is strange though, the aesthetic is cute but it’s super hot and staff can come across as a little unfriendly / standoffish.
Takes a while to get served and food to arrive. A lot of the menu was unavailable. Overall cleanliness is an issue. No soap or toilet-roll in the toilets.

Awesome rasta vibes and great food - Edit
Very clearly labelled menu with vegan and vegetarian dishes that are mostly Filipino with some burgers, mushroom shawarma, and pesto pasta. The vegan gyozas are nice and the pakvet (indigenous dish from northern Philippines) was delicious. Cocktails were also nice (the rumhansi made with calamansi and rum is very refreshing). Love the decor and music!

Food was oke. Music and personel could be much better - Edit
Food was nice. Philipino dishes, curry. Don’t order the rice with tofu. Very boring. The guys who where working there didn’t speak english very well. It was a quite night but the food took way to long. It said reggea bar but they played very loud rock music. I wouldn’t come back here.

Amazing vegan Filipino food! - Edit
I loved the Aubergine omelette(I can’t remember the Filipino name) it was so tasty. I ordered a side aswell to takeaway as the portion sizes were small but it’s not expensive so that was fine. I did have to wait a while for my food but it was worth it

Grading on a curve... - Edit
It's nice to have a menu where I can choose freely, though it's quite a large menu and some decision paralysis starts to set in 😅
Read moreThe food generally is okay, I wouldn't make a deliberate trip for this but it's fine.
I suppose the worst thing, really, is how long the food takes to arrive - if it's a busy night, be prepared to wait at least 1.5 hrs.
The non-vegans didn't enjoy it much at all, if that helps to know the type of menu 🙈😅

Killer views and vibe, ok food - Edit
Ala-e Hippie House has one of the best views in town to watch the harbor and a sunset. It’s got a through and through hippie vibe too.
Read moreBoth of these come at some minor inconveniences: a bit of a walk from the town center and ticketing furniture and stairs.
The servers and knowledgeable and friendly, but at least the one thing I ordered wasn’t nearly as good as I imagined it would be based on the reviews.

Waited a long time, had no tofu... - Edit
I liked the vibe in here, very hippy feel, and obviously lots of vegan options - very rare for Philippines. But I waited a long time to get a menu, never mind get served. When they finally came to take my order, what I ordered was not available, they had "no tofu", which considering 50% of the options on the menu had tofu in them, was very frustrating. Would have been nice to be told up front. The food itself was ok, but a little boring and quite small portions. Shame.
