Stopped by Taste El Nido cafe, conveniently located in the town center and easy to access. They offer a limited menu, but the prices are reasonable. It's surprising that in 2023 some places still don't accept card payments. As travelers, we prefer the convenience and safety of not carrying too much cash. I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars solely because they don't accept cards. Otherwise, it's great! It's highly recommended for establishments to accept card payments to cater to the needs of tourists.

Indulging in Taste's El Nido smoothie bowl was a delightful experience. The vibrant mix of fruits, nuts and creamy textures created a perfect harmony of flavors. The presentation was Instagram-worthy, and the portion size was just right. A refreshing and healthy choice that leaves me eager to return for more.

Cool loft area to chill and eat. Delicious smoothie bowls, tofu wrap, iced coffee, banana chocolate chip cookie. Everything is perfect! Highly recommend this vegan spot.

The second floor of the place was extremely dirty- we did not get the “remove your shoes” vibe they were introducing- hair and napkins on the floor on which you need to go barefoot. Dirty cushions, nobody cleaned the table before we sat down, the fruits used for the smoothie bowls were frozen and based on the price did not lived up to the hype and overall expectations we had. No option as well for card payment

nice and cozy space. tasty smoothie bowls - a must try is hello yellow with mango :) good coffee, nice space up stairs with fans, and to sit with laptop if you need to make some work. even if you are not vegan the smoothie bowls are great as a super tasty dessert :) but their vegan banoffee is also a must :)

The food was good, we got vegan mac and cheese and enjoyed it. A good place if you are looking for a nice vegan meal in El Nido. Also the location was very convenient.
The eating area was upstairs and a bit cramped and warm. Cash only payment accepted.

Mac and Cheese
The smoothie bowls are a bit too frozen for my taste. They taste good, but the consistency is not what I like. The coffee is tasty. The staff is very kind and friendly.
The tables are uncomfortable, it would be great to upgrade them.
Nice quiet atmosphere, although there is a difference in temperature between the ground floor (AC) and the top floor (fan only)
Top quality vegan restaurant in El Nido! Was so impressed by the food, the presentation was great and the taste was even better. There's a variety of smoothie bowls and a few really amazing main meals. We returned again and again. The staff are all so friendly, so pleased that this place was brave enough to be fully vegan as it is quite hard to come by in The Philippines. Awesome job guys!
Best smoothie bowls in El Nido! We stayed for a week and tried several places. These are for sure the best! A great size of the bowl, the taste and the different flavours. The price is affordable to what you get. Staff is super friendly. Would recommend! My favourite is the Hello Yellow smoothie bowl!
