Probably the most aesthetically appealing coffee shop in Trece Martires. Not just for pictures but you can really sit down and watch time pass by. Comparatively, it’s like Ruined Cafe but much better. Their vibe is very relaxed with a nice selection of indy background music. I love the menu is a nod to all the barangays in Trece Martires and puts a distinct and fun spin to the food and drinks. Coffee is great and chicken wings are pretty nice.

I appreciate that their menu was named after the 13 martyrs. The food was great and cheap. The ambiance was peaceful. And the service seems to be better than other cafes.

Kanlungan Cafe never fails to amaze me with their exceptional menu. I have been here for the third time and I am still in love with their food and ambiance. I recently invited my cousin and her family to experience it and they loved it too! The rustic vibe of the place just adds up to the overall cozy atmosphere. The food is consistently delicious, and their drinks are equally satisfying. I highly recommend trying their pasta dishes and coffee. A perfect spot for a casual hangout or a date night.

It's a nice surprise in Trece where parking is usually an issue. It's very accessible from the highway (with road signage) and yet when you enter the area, it's a different feel because of trees, plants and nature. They have ample parking spaces. The aesthetic of the cafe is so relaxing. The food is great. Price is reasonable. I love the customer service too. But I'm not a fan of their coffee or maybe I ordered the wrong one. But overall it's really nice!

Family friendly cafe. Perfect chill out place. Also good for mobile workers and students.
The staff here are all friendly, including the security guard.
Pesto Perez - sundried is really good. Price and portions is just right.
The clubhouse sandwich could have more main filings, like grilled chicken, bacon or tuna. A bit expensive for the portion.
Loved the cold drinks. Lime Cucumber is new to me and tasted really refreshing.
Well lit and well ventilated also good ambiance,
Just for suggestion I don't understand why you are the one who will get for drinks and for food the staff the one will deliver to your table, why don't just the staff deliver the drinks and food?
Or use buzzer to get food and drink when they are already ready for me, it is inconvenience.

It is one of my most recommended places to hang out, chill, and relax with your friends and family. They have very friendly and attentive staff, the ambiance is very relaxing as you commune with nature, you can even bring your pets along. The food is good and the serving is generous that you can even consider it as good for two (of course, this depends on your appetite 😁). All in all you would definitely go back to Kanlungan simply to unwind and let loose once in a while.
Been here twice.
First was dinner time, second was merienda time.
Can become busy during meal times.
Open spaces are definitely a plus for me.
Quite difficult to get here if you're commuting; that's a minus.
Food are great, but somewhat pricey.
Staff are courteous.
You can have a reservation.
Please call them ahead of time.
The place has a peaceful ambience; al fresco dining, secluded, soft lighting at night, good sunlight at day, and it feels like you're in with the nature. Very "probinsya" feels. The downside though is it's "malamok".
The locations is very accessible from the main road, just at the back of the school. It has ample amount of parking spaces as well.
The food and drinks, on the other hand, it was good for the price. We had the rice meals at first which tastes really good! Then, we had nachos and drinks.. nachos are really good as well! Caramel Cream frappe tastes creamy but not to sweet. As for Choco Chip Cream, I didn't like it-the chocolate tastes a bit bland.
But overall, the experience was good! Will definitely come back to try the other foods and hopefully, they'll have matcha latte soon!
This so far the best cafe/restaurant in the Trece Martires area! The ambience, the vibe, the food and the service are great!
I love that their Instagram page also features their staff and the captions of their posts give a hint of an owner that's pursuing not just a business venture but a social enterprise. We need more businesses that practice conscious capitalism and Kanlungan Cafe seems like one 🥰
Can't wait to go back and try their new offerings on the menu.
