Phil's Brew

Open 4pm till 9pm. Best cappuccino and latte in the island. Tea lovers will like Twinnings being available here. Their Tres Leches smells and tastes really good. I think the soaking in milk process is the key. Aimee, lady in the counter, is sweet and amiable. Lastly, having desserts and coffee under the stars with chirping birds is a plus.

The best place to have coffee in Basco. Owner is so friendly. She even let us to have coffee even it is closing time already. Great coffee, great conversation.

Homey coffee shop and why not? This coffee shop is in fact the owner's house with make shift chairs. We love the place, no fancy frills just pure coffee- iced this time with local Ivatan version of suman, Tres Leches, all made and served with love by the friendly owner! We always go here for coffee the entire time were at Basco!

Finally found a real coffee that hits the spot! We are welcomed by Ms Aimee lovely owner of Phil's Brew. The place is pleasantly bright and homey. It's like your Tita's (Aunty) little garden area where you can relax and enjoy your merienda while listening to soft music. We ordered Americano and Iced Coffee. I asked Ms Aimee regarding their coffee blend as I noticed that its not acidic, I was advised that they are using a special blend. Our coffee was perfectly paired with Tres Leches cake (my brother almost finished this in a minute and wanted another for himself!) and Biko with Macapuno (so satisfying, I can probably eat one bilao as its not too sweet). Both are delicious, we come from Bulacan.. home of kakanin and malagkit. So believe me when I say they serve really good Biko. Please ask and check their available cakes as its not on the menu. It would be ashamed to miss it. Price is affordable too base on coffee and service quality. We'll definitely come back to try their tablea (chocolate) cake and lemon cake. Thank you for giving us complimentary Biko and your hospitality.(She said that she kept us waiting, but we didn't wait that long really) Cheers!

Ate is very nice and accommodating. We celebrated a birthday there and she even gave us a candle and a birthday sign for photos. I recommend you try her signature tres leches cake. We came back another day looking for Tubho tea (local tea) and she even gave us a background regarding the drink and harvesting tea leaves.

Quaint shop. Open 4p-9p coz the owner bakes the desserts from scratch every morning. I was there 3x from my 5 day trip to Batanes and out of all I LOOVE her tres leches! Her coffee will not let you down! The owner is very pleasant and personable.

Affordable coffee! Cakes are delicious. Must try: Tres Leches Cold Cake. Ambiance is very laid back and comfortable!

Tres Leches is best with their Hot Tsoko or Brewed Coffee. Their home made crop cake is best paired with tea.
