A beautiful place to watch the sunset and chill as the café is situated on the edge of the mountain with an amazing panoramic view. You'll need to contact them for a reservation though as they limit the number of guests daily. Unfortunately, I went on a day the residents played blaring budots music, and kinda destroyed the whole peaceful vibe.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Location: Reaching Selloum Cafe requires navigating a short, bumpy dirt road and a narrow entrance path. A sedan can easily handle it, though. Overall: Selloum Cafe is a gem for those who appreciate beautiful scenery, delicious food, and a tranquil escape. The entrance fee is minimal, and the delicious food and stunning views make it well worth the short off-road drive. Just be prepared for a slightly adventurous route to get there!

Review: Selloum Café – A Rustic Retreat with Mountain Charm Tucked away in Sitio Mambucano, Brgy. Cabatangan, Talisay City, Selloum Café is more than just a coffee spot—it’s a nature-infused experience that blends rustic charm with serene mountain views. From the moment you arrive, the café’s open-air design, bamboo accents, and nipa-inspired architecture invite you to slow down and savor the moment. The atmosphere is breezy and tranquil, with lush greenery and panoramic vistas that make every seat feel like front-row access to nature’s theater. Selloum Café’s menu is a thoughtful mix of comfort and creativity. Their signature drinks—like the Selloum Iced Coffee, Pure Tablea Hot Chocolate, and Affogato—are perfect companions for long conversations or quiet reflection. For bites, the Pork and Vegetable Lumpia with Cucumber Vinaigrette and Kamote Fries offer a local twist that’s both hearty and satisfying. While the food isn’t overly elaborate, it’s well-prepared and complements the laid-back vibe. Guests are encouraged to book ahead and pay a modest entrance fee, which helps maintain the spacious grounds and peaceful ambiance. Whether you're lounging in a hammock, snapping photos for your feed, or simply soaking in the cool highland air, Selloum Café delivers a soulful escape that feels refreshingly unhurried.

A hidden gem, definitely! Hospitable and smiling staff from gate to reception. The view is captivating and the food is simply perfect! We ordered their mushroom truffle and fresh tomato pasta and i must say they are a must-try! Their open-faced tuna wheat sandwich is super namit! I love it how they serve their delicious brewed native coffee with milk (milk is in a shot glass). Selloum Café is a 10/10 in all aspects!

Food was nice! Though it was kinda hard to get to the cafe. Just be careful and keep im mind, do not enter Guerrero's entrance cause you will be entering a rough road. Im not good with explaining this, but i think you get the point and be ready for a bit of a bumpy ride! Better if you're on a motorcycle cause the road going to the cafe is a bit narrow. But, i assure you, you will be rewarded with a great view and food

A breathtaking view like no other—where the sky melts into the horizon, and the world stretches endlessly below. Perched atop the mountain, time slows, and the air hums with quiet wonder. It’s not just a sight; it’s a feeling—raw, boundless, and alive.

views are breathtaking food and service were great too! the only struggle is getting to the place since there’s a road that fits only one car and it’s one way going to the café. i’d recommend bringing sedans, MPVs, or slightly smaller SUVs. food recos: truffle-cheese-bacon, chicken parmigiana, nachos, and cheese sticks w marinara dip cellular signal is slow — the place to be when you want to spend a few hours offline
