Vedya Hostel Siargao

Vedya in General Luna is a vegan cafe and restaurant that takes both the coffee and the food seriously, a combination that's rarer than it should be. The coffee comes from Bukidnon, a highland region in Mindanao known for quality arabica, and it's prepared with the care those beans deserve.

The plant-based menu goes beyond the usual cafe fare, with dishes like granola pudding that show a kitchen thinking about texture and satisfaction rather than just ticking the vegan box. The food is meant to be genuinely enjoyable rather than virtuous in a joyless way.

For health-conscious travellers, it's a worthwhile regular stop: excellent coffee in the morning alongside plant-based food that carries you through the day. Try the Bukidnon single-origin without milk first, to catch the natural sweetness and clean finish that get lost once you add a dairy alternative.
