I love this place. However, this is the 2nd Madge Cafe I know that is not located at the Market. This is located at this place called the "Smallville" and it's in the city.
Anyway, the energy is good and very welcoming. It's a simple cafe but they serve more than coffee or lattes. They actually serve authentic Visayan style Filipino foods. The Visayans are also wonderful cooks and add their twists to the most popular and loved foods. They make fried foods, soups and noodles of all sorts as well. It was so nice I ate here twice during my visit here. The Bulalo is simple, not overwhelming with veggies either and the flavor is so comforting and satisfying. I also live their pancit molo. It's like wonton soup but with a different twist. I promise you you will love it too. The noodles have the nicest aroma that I couldn't resist to dig in and enjoy every bite. Their coffee is strong enough and well balanced-no need for sugar. I enjoyed my dining here with my husband and his cousins.
It's a place for family and everyone else. This place is also very clean, well maintained and people come in and out nonstop. That says something, doesn't it? I highly recommend when you come to visit Iloilo.
The only thing that it doesn't have is a restroom but there is one around the corner outside this cafe.
Finally, they also serve the best dessert I tried-palitaw is what I know it's called in Manila and the other one I really enjoyed is the Kalamazoo-hati (sweet rice cooked in brown sugar and coconut milk. (I'm almost sure)
Live this place I can't wait to come back in January 2023. read more
