I went there to enjoy a cup of coffee and I stayed few hours because there was a heavy rain. Love the space and the calm atmosphere with chill music as background. I got a flat white and despite it can be improved because it should have more coffee than milk, I loved it since during my two weeks in the Philippines I didn’t have a good coffee. Prize is quite high but appreciate they have their own coffee beans and they treat the space with love. I also bought roasted coffee beans and can’t wait to try it! Thanks

Super cozy café in PPS! I actually got lost at first since the signage still pointed to the old 2nd-floor location, but they’ve moved to a better spot (I even told them about it ). Anyway, I loved their coffee ordered an iced barista latte. A bit pricey at ₱295, but it was so good with a strong coffee kick, so no complaints! Bonus points for having plenty of power outlets.

This is my first exposure to this coffee chain and I felt it was a private coffee shop. It offers such a unique experience that rivals popular chains like % coffee and Starbucks. The service was attentive and the interiors and exteriors were so zen like. I thought to myself I want to open a shop like this. It’s so nice to discover so many amazing coffee shops and investment like gold cup being developed in my birth place.

Good Cup is one of those places that instantly makes you feel at home. The cozy ambiance, tasteful decor, and chill playlist create the perfect spot to unwind, catch up on work, or just enjoy a quiet moment. The coffee? Absolutely top-notch. Whether you're a fan of strong espressos or creamy lattes, they know what they're doing behind the bar. Each cup is made with care and you can really taste the difference. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They're warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming — always ready with a smile and happy to chat or recommend something from the menu. If you're in Puerto Princesa and looking for a great cup of coffee in a cozy, relaxed space, this is the spot. Highly recommended!
