About
A backyard café in Dumaguete since 2019, under two old mango trees.
The place
A backyard, two trees and a coffee machine
Silong opened in 2019 in the backyard of a family house on a quiet street near the boulevard. It started with six chairs and one machine under the bigger mango tree. Now there are forty seats, a bamboo bar, a small kitchen, and the same two trees deciding where the shade falls.

Four things
What we care about
- Beans from the hillsOur coffee is roasted every week in Valencia, half an hour up the mountain, from beans grown in Negros and Bukidnon.
- Food from the marketThe rice meals start at the Dumaguete public market at six in the morning: fish, pork, greens and fruit of the day.
- Shade, not air-conTwo old mango trees keep the garden cool. We added fans, plants and lights, and left the trees in charge.
- Slow is fineStay for one cup or four hours. Nobody will ask you to give up your table.
