We had the crispy beef floss tapsi (sub to garlic rice) and bacon mango cheese sandwich! The sandwich was my favorite dish during my 1-week stay, the flavors just work so well together and it’s so affordable. The staff and owners were also very friendly and accommodating. We got 10% off our bill since we booked our stay in Presko (their accommodation). Plus points for the super friendly dogs

Very accommodating and friendly staff. All smiles throughout our brunch. The best Iced Chocnut Latte for me! Sad, there was no tapsi during our stay. Will definitely be back. :)

I had the sweet and salty mango bacon and cheese toastie with cappuccino. Absolutely amazing and contrasting flavours. The coffee is locally sourced and you have a choice of roasts. The manager was super friendly and accommodating. Service with a smile. Sometimes the best places are off the main road like this.

One of the best breakfast places here in Siargao!! Just a bit hard to find it’s tucked into a corner a little bit after Las Barricas. We ordered the Bacon & Mango Sandwich (for sharing) & also the dried beef tapa and the servings were incredibly generous for the price that we paid for. Their Dark Chocolate Chip cookies are also the bomb, it was so good that we had taken out 4 more chocolate chip cookies. Jason our server was also amazing, very kind and explained to us how to maximize in eating the sandwich and got us everything we requested for. All in all a must TRY when you’re in Siargao! Worth getting lost trying to find this gem!

Honestly overdid my expectations x10. Best coffee I’ve had in the country. Try the blueberry latte. The waiter explains how to drink this special drink and the taste is mind blowing. We had the pork adobo (the pork was 10/10) and the bacon mango sandwich, which also came with a presentation and tasted 11/10. Must try when you’re visiting Siargao!!

A go-to spot to take all my family and friends! My favorites are the kabute grilled cheese, thrice cooked adobo, beef floss rice plate, matcha bilobilo, espresso pancakes, mango hibiscus juice, blueberry latte, and all the smoothies. Pretty much the whole menu - you can’t go wrong at Takam! Their menu is thoughtfully curated and simply delicious. A great place to chill and enjoy your meal. And the service is amazing. Thanks so much, Chef Smith and the Takam Crew :)

The coffee is great! One of the best coffee I tasted here in Siargao. The adobo however, was not what I expected. It doesn't taste anywhere near the classic adobo but the meats were so tender. They just have their own original twist to make adobo. And the kimchi seemed to complement their version of adobo. The service is great! The staff are very attentive and accommodating. They even have a resident dog that will also greet and entertain dining guests. She approach for food but not for pets
