🥐 Top 3 Breakfast Spots in El Nido, Philippines You Don’t Want to Miss

From sunrise tours to lazy mornings by the beach, El Nido offers some amazing breakfast spots that cater to every kind of traveler. Whether you’re chasing the best coffee, looking for something healthy, or just craving the perfect avocado toast — here are my top 3 breakfast places in El Nido that I personally love and recommend.

☕ 1. Brunch

🕒 Open daily: 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM

📍 Serena Street, El Nido town proper

The biggest advantage of Brunch is its opening hours — starting at 7:00 AM and running all the way to 10:00 PM. That makes it the perfect stop whether you’re traveling with early-rising kids or heading out on one of El Nido’s famous island-hopping tours.

The food? Delicious. Their waffles are a must-try, with a wide variety of toppings and flavors to choose from. They also serve all the breakfast classics — eggs, toast, and fresh coffee. It’s casual, cozy, and consistently good.

🍳 2. Blend & Grind

📍  Corong-Corong Beach (right across from the beach)

 ⏰ Breakfast served all day

Blend & Grill is a beachfront gem where breakfast is served all day long. While they also offer lunch and dinner, I only had breakfast here — and it didn’t disappoint.

Their avocado toast is easily one of my favorites on the island (yes, I have a bit of an obsession 🥑). They also offer omelets, pancakes, and a solid variety of fruit shakes and frappes — one of the best caffeine fixes I had during my stay.

We sat at the bar facing the beach, and honestly, it felt like we were having breakfast on the beach. The vibe here is unbeatable.

🥗 3. Hayahay Café

🌞For the health-conscious foodie

📍 Calle Real, El Nido town

If you’re into fresh, healthy, and customizable meals, Hayahay Café is your go-to. What makes it special is their build-your-own bowls and wraps — you choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces to create something that suits your taste and lifestyle perfectly.

They also serve smoothie bowls, oats, and other wholesome breakfast options. I highly recommend trying their signature drinks — I had the lemon nana, and it was exactly what I needed to refresh and recharge.

Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just looking to eat clean — this is your spot.

✨ Final Thoughts

Whether you’re fueling up before an island tour or just in it for the avo toast, these spots totally delivered. Try one (or all!) — and let your taste buds enjoy El Nido as much as you do.
