BuCafe or Bukid Cafe is a sustainable mountain side cafe and restaurant overlooking the mountainous area of Siquijor Island stretching to the ocean. It’s about ten minutes away from the closest main road.
From the exterior, I could already tell that the cafe is nature-themed as it is evidently made of natural and local materials, predominantly bamboo. The structure reminded me of nipa kiosks, very common to have in a Filipino yard to entertain guests or to have a siesta.
The cafe is situated on the downward slope of a mountain and most of its seats are facing toward the horizon. There are shared tables overlooking the views as well as tables a bit far from the edge. If the seats are all occupied on the main floor, you can head downstairs for more seats and tables. The seats on the edge of the lower floor of the cafe requires you to sit on the floor and has a ledge for the legs to rest on.
Once seated, you can enjoy the view of Siquijor. It’s mostly greenery and the sea, but it was really beautiful and relaxing. We went there in the middle of the afternoon, but I think the place would be really beautiful during sunset.
Aside from the view, the cafe also has different features that are worth the mention. They have a net bed also overlooking the panoramic view. I can see how it would be enjoyable to chill there, especially with a group of friends.
There is a telescope that you can use to take a closer look at the view. I figured there would be birds because of the telescope and we did see an eagle, but we failed to take a picture because it was too far away for our cameras. There are also board games that you can borrow for free.
The place is filled with artworks, especially on the lower floor. We checked out the artworks and saw that some of them were available for sale. The artworks were cohesive, the themes were mostly depicting nature, specifically those you can find in Siquijor.
The place is not only natural, but also crafty. Their sink was something that I find very artsy. The switch is similar to a regular faucet, but the water comes out of a local clay jar. I personally like touches like these because of the thought and the effort that comes with it.
The food is satisfactory. There was nothing special about the coffee, but I might have had the best FIlipino empanadas I’ve ever had.
I enjoy writing about past travels like these because it reminds me of what it was like living in that moment. Thank you so much for reading through, I hope you enjoyed it. What do you think of BuCafe?
Very nice, that would be a fun visit, high above the treeline.
Thank you. Also very happy that it was more than the view
Wouldn’t mind having a view like that to enjoy a meal 😍
Same here haha
I love the view of this café. My only fear is that if I can escape mosquitoe bites.
Nice shots

I love the view and how aesthetic the area is.😍
It's definitely worth the travel!
I !LUV empanada and the vibes of this cafe. I would visit regularly if it were closer to my place. Sad that the coffee was a "regular" coffee. 😎
The coffee wasn't bad at all though, it's just not as memorable haha
Understandable since not all coffee shops invest in the best coffee beans. Mas mataas kasi ang price at not always available ito sa mga groceries at suppliers.
Wow thats a very relaxing place and ang ganda din ng view. alis talaga ang stress pag ganyan.
