Taguan Cafe

Such a tiny yet cute space with the most unique mugs to serve coffee! Dog friendly and interior is decorated to give a cosy vibe. Service and team is exceptionally nice, perfect place for a quick coffee or snacks. They have specialty drinks too that goes up to 8 bucks and a mocha is 6 and 6.5 for large. The regular take away cup is quite small so if you can sit and have it there in the cute mugs, def do that!

The reviews made me have higher expectations, ube grilled cheese was a little disappointing, adobo was yummy and decent beef pares nice flavors. Over all 4.5

Truly a cute cafe shop but food was mediocre honestly. Ube cheese toast didn’t have any ube flavours as it was overshadowed by the strong cheese. Service was a bit cold but it’s fine.

I came across this cafe through social media and totally no regrets trying this place out. Went on a Sunday and no regrets. Highlights and tips: - Taguan is located within a short walking distance between Waterloo Metro station and Redfern train station. - There is limited seating for both inside and outside of the cafe. During peak meal times, it can get quite busy. At certain times of the day, the sun shining can be quite intense. - There was live music by a local musician. Totally added to the atmosphere! - Food tasted amazing. The flavours had depth and loved every bite. My only complaint was the portion size is too small for me and the beef pares was rather oily. The staff was really nice to remove as much of the oil. Other than that, I would rate it still as one of my personal faves for Filipino food. - The ube latte was totally amazing. The richness in the flavours is like no other that I have tried. The staff shared with me that they make the ube base from scratch. I highly recommend trying this. - Staff were very friendly and loved that I was asked whether I enjoyed my meal. Kudos for asking and also sharing too that your recipes were family recipes. - Although small in space, the place was still tastefully decorated with beautiful colours that were complimentary. It was very welcoming. All in all, I enjoy my dining experience here. I think it is a place worth checking out for good ube drinks and pretty authentic Filipino food.

very humble facade yet warm and inviting given the ready smile from the kind looking barista. oh so good coffee served in cheeky mugs. food smelled so amazing when served. Tatay's pork adobo brought me back home. the achara is as it should be: very fine taste and texture. my dessert: the perfect egg pie - thin crust, citrusy, not too eggy , not too sweet - just divine! this place is worth hunting down. will surely come back, soon! thank you for starting my day!
