🍳 Café Teresa at Hotel Alejandro – Breakfast, Memories, and a Warm Cup of Leyte

There’s something comforting about starting your day with the scent of garlic rice and danggit in the air. On my trip to Tacloban, Café Teresa became more than just a breakfast spot—it became a little ritual. Whether it was the crispy daing na bangus, the clink of mugs filled with hot native coffee, or the kind staff who made us feel right at home, this café tucked inside Hotel Alejandro quietly earned a spot in my heart.

So much so, that when I returned to Tacloban with friends, I made sure to bring them here to start their day the right way—with good food, great company, and a touch of local heritage.

❤️ Café Teresa doesn’t try too hard to impress—but it does anyway. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of staying in a hotel that also doubles as a mini-museum. Maybe it’s the warmth of the servers. Or maybe it’s just the perfectly brewed coffee paired with a view of Leyte’s quiet morning streets. Whatever it is, it’s worth coming back to—again and again.
