Uncle Mike's Place

Why locals love it

Great place if you are up and hungry at 5 in the morning. Their coffee is roasted and brewed very well. I know, Im pretty impressed with my coffee tasting skills. The have huge plates and it's a chance to enjoy filipino breakfast which is what most of the Asian population miss about Asia, the breakfast.

Why you should visit it

If you don't a high sugar/sodium filipino brunch this place offers hearty continental meals as well. However, the Champorado, the Lugaw and their Tocino with rice is almost like you are waking up on a mountain in the Philippines and having the old lady cook make it right for you, taken from her age long recipe. Ive lived it don't judge

Special tip

Sit at the bar, the wait during peak hours can drag. Get their coffee, Have the lugaw with lemon. Snap a picture of our LikeALocalGuide Sticker
