Found behind that boulder as shown on the picture below. Took us a while to find the place as there were no signage available(renovations were ongoing). We ordered fried chicken, sinigang na salmon and sinigang na pork(no photos for these 2 dishes ). Dishes were actually appetizing (besides from the fact that we were famished at this point of the trip as the first place we went, Cafe Gaia, was mostly vegetarian. P.S I enjoyed the pickled cucumber the most.

Such a funny story and a very memorable one on how we came across Chapter One Cafe. The place is very near our accommodation and we can see the lights during night time. The night we stumbled at the cafe, we just came from cellar door and had our yoghurt at the Marie's which is not part of our original itinerary for the tour which is the Bomod-ok falls. We were tired after the trek at Marlboro hills and blue soil that's why we decided to do a more laid back activity in the afternoon. However when we were going back to our accommodation, we got very curious at the fairy lights and went to explore otherwise. We were actually surprised that the place is at the top and you need to take 117 steps, yes we counted it lol! Our supposed to be laid back evening didn't go through as planned but we very much enjoyed our time here. They offer coffee, tea, cocktails, pasta, food meals etc. they also have board games such as snake and ladders, chess, uno cards and they also ask us if we want to have a bonfire with other customers. So we could say that customer service is definitely a 5 out 5 experience. I ordered their cosmopolitan and my friends ordered their potato chips which we all loved. Alsoo, if you love dogs, their house pets are very welcoming. Would highly recommend this cafe. Don't get too intimidated by the stairs as your stay here could be as memorable as ours.

Great food and good people. Open mic and with bonfire available. Just please fix the walkway in time for rainy season and perhaps an option for PWDs and seniors (if possible).

‼ Our favorite cafe/ food spot in Sagada! Amazing view and amazing staff! Very relaxing scenery and very nice ambiance. The coffee is sooooo good but affordable. We come back here again and again. (P.S. one of their staff Ms. Alexis was soooo nice to us).
