Like it says, halfway to the top of the mountain where you have at least two other attractions, the cafe at the very top where they grow the coffee you drink, and the hidden falls which you need a guide to find because it's way down in the jungle and not a marked path. This place will soon open a glamping option to there accomodations. Super nice place to stay I'm sure, but I was only passing through.

Halfway Café: Best View in Dauin? Absolutely. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with stunning scenery, Halfway Café is a must-visit. Located in Dauin, it offers a breathtaking overlook of Mt. Talinis and lush mountain views. Ambiance: 8/10 The interior is cozy and well-designed—think billiards, TVs, and big comfy couches that make it easy to chill while enjoying your meal or drink. Cafe Offerings: They serve a variety of food, drinks, cookies, and cakes—a solid mix for a casual hangout or quick escape. Coffee Review: I ordered a cappuccino and honestly, it needs work. 4/10 – It was too milky with barely any coffee flavor. The balance between espresso and milk needs improvement to match the quality of the place. Overall: Great for the view and ambiance. Just hoping they level up their coffee game soon.

Met up with a friend at the cafe. Amazing place food was great and very peaceful and great views of Siqiujor in the distance. Not expensive worth a visit you can stay also at the venue and swim in the pool.

Looking for a remote place to dine on Negros Island? The Halfway Cafe is your perfect place! With delicious food, a relaxing atmosphere, and fun activities like board games and a pool table, there's something for everyone—even the kids. Located on the second floor of a residential house, the cafe also offers a place to stay and a refreshing pool to dive into. I enjoyed a mouth-watering medium-rare beef tenderloin with a side salad and chips, and to beat the tropical heat, I sipped on a delightful banana shake. My meal wasn't complete without some flavorful garlic fried rice. While waiting for our food, we enjoyed playing foosball.

The Halfway Cafe Restaurant and Pool offers a house for rent. This is what I am going to rate --- our stay in their Airbnb house. A gem for a perfect hideaway ... away from the hustle and bustle of busy city life. VERY NICE and comfy place, complete with amenities, clean and VERY COMFY rooms. Feeling at home for 3 nights and 4 days! The whole house all for us, with a clean swimming pool. Kind and humble owners. Worth coming back! Highly recommended. As for the restaurant, it's perfect coz we can order anytime. There's a billiard and children's area. Clean toilets. Airy and strong wifi. I see people come and go hence, it must be a popular hangout place in Dauin. Very convenient for us coz we can order food and have our meal delivered to our place.

This is a really very, very nice place, such a treat, a jaw dropping location with professional caring attentive staff and a truly well thought out menu. My wife had the Chicken Curry, which she thoroughly enjoyed and obviously me being from the UK had the Fish n Chips. Have to say they were absolutely awesome and that’s from me who once had a Fish n Chip shop in back in Scotland. We spent exactly 1000 pesos to include, two cappuccino’s, Chicken Curry, Fish n Chips and two big mugs of Green Tea.
