UHAW Cafe Moalboal sits along Panagsama Road and operates as a hybrid cafe, bar, and restaurant, making it a versatile spot for various moods throughout the day. Its appeal largely comes from a cozy, homey atmosphere that feels both relaxed and welcoming, with a natural touch evident in the presence of plants and simple yet elegant interior design elements. The cafe’s vibe is laid-back, making it a fitting place for locals and visitors looking to slow down, enjoy good food, and soak in a familiar, comfortable environment.

Morning visitors will find UHAW a solid choice for breakfast, notably for those appreciating a hearty start that pairs well with quality coffee. The kitchen carefully prepares dishes like shakshuka and egg toast sandwiches using fresh ingredients, which is likely why these offerings get consistent praise from patrons craving good, straightforward flavors without fuss. The breakfast crowd seems to appreciate the genuine care put into each plate, alongside friendly and hospitable service that adds to the welcoming feel of the place.

The space itself is quite accommodating, with plenty of seating options. However, the airflow varies: seating near the front benefits from ceiling fans and a breezier feel, while spots further inside or at the back may feel stifling during warmer hours—something to keep in mind when deciding where to settle. The background music and wall art combine to create a homey backdrop that encourages lingering over coffee or a casual meal.

In the afternoons or early evenings, UHAW transforms into a more casual hangout where visitors might stop for a drink or light bites. Though some drinks may come across as less flavorful or leaning toward the artificial side, the overall cleanliness and easygoing atmosphere make it an approachable spot for a quick refresher or a relaxed meet-up. The friendly staff consistently add to the experience, often making occasions feel more personal and comfortable.

For travelers and locals alike, UHAW Cafe Moalboal works best as a spot to unwind with good food and reliable coffee in a setting that doesn’t feel over-stylized or overly touristy. It’s a place where casual dining meets casual conversation, ideal for breakfast or a laid-back break in the afternoon. Those interested in a quiet meal surrounded by subtle natural touches and a genuinely warm approach to service will find it fitting, especially outside of peak holiday periods when wait times can stretch a little.

The service is very friendly and hospitable. The music is lovely. The vibe feels like home. The food is very delicious and is worth the price. The ingredients were fresh. Overall it was really good. Will do visit again soon.

Fantastic breakfast spot with great coffee and a truly delicious shakshuka! The egg toast sandwich is also a must-try—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and fresh ingredients make every visit a real treat. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast!

Not a bad place for a quick refresher of a drink or some nibbles. Plenty of seating though seats at the back are hot with no air movement. Sit st the front where the fans are. Drinks were not that great. Tasted artificial and very little flavour. Its clean so cant ask for much more.

I like how the food was cook. It’s just how I want it, a spam that’s a little crisp and is not well done. The side dish was really fresh and yummy. The place feels like home. The aura with it is like a nature one that have plants inside, goes well with the wall painting and internal design was quite simple yet elegant. The service was quite good and very hospitable and friendly.

We (my partner and I) don’t agree with the recent reviews claiming that you have to wait an incredibly long time for dinner. We ordered a regular and a double cheeseburger, and the food arrived within 25 minutes. The burgers were as expected and tasted good. The fries were a bit soggy (hence the 4 stars), but the atmosphere was great, with nice music at a comfortable volume. Staff was really friendly.

This is a must try! Objectively the best tasting restaurant in Moalboal owned by a hardworking local couple. My partner and I personally saw the growth of their business from a tiny kiosk by the road in 2020 to a now full scale restaurant. From their kiosk days until today, the owners still make sure you get served quality food by personally working on your order. Post-renovation now offers more seating and friendlier staff. Here is their signature amaretto sour and more.
