Alima Home.Cafe Dahican

Alima Home.Cafe is a small open-air cafe at Purok Maribujoc in Dahican, attached to a staycation house close to the beach. It is built from wood and nipa with plants around the tables, and the surfer owner runs it with a homey, unhurried feel that suits the pace of the beach strip.

Smoothie bowls are the headline. The Kalea Strawberry of Dreams (₱240 in October 2026) comes heaped with strawberries, mango, banana and granola, though recent visitors are split on whether the base is thick or thin. Beyond the bowls, the shrimp aglio olio and basil pesto pasta, tuna and shrimp soft tacos served two to an order, fresh mango and banana shakes, and a milk and cheese Shibuya toast for dessert all get repeat mentions.

It opens 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and closes on Tuesday and Wednesday, with most visits under ₱500. A few dishes can run out, especially later in the day. Come for a late lunch after a swim and pair a smoothie bowl with the shrimp tacos.
