After 3 weeks in the Philippines, I was hankering after some European food and by sheer luck, I found this place. There's lots of vegetarian options. I went for the Breakfast Super Bowl and a Tropical Yoghurt Delight to drink. The cereal bowl was very tasty and definitely, so I would try to make at home, while the yoghurt drink was very tasty. Overall, an excellent visit and I would come again. It is a bit on the expensive side though.

From Seed to Cup offers a delightful experience with its cozy ambiance, satisfying breakfasts, and the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee. My meals were prepared swiftly, complemented by truly great service. In fact, both the food and service were so impressive that I chose to dine here throughout my two-day stay in El Nido. While El Nido, being a popular tourist spot, tends to have higher prices, From Seed to Cup stands out by offering fair value for money. Despite its small size, which means it can get crowded quickly during peak hours, this little spot is a true gem. Be prepared for a potential wait, but know that it's well worth it.

The food was really yummy, the coffee was really good too and the service was brilliant too. We were a group of 5 and all really enjoyed our food, we came back the next day too! Good variety on the menu.

Me and my boyfriend have come here 4-5 times within our stay in el-nido. The food has been incredible but the customer service has been even better. The lady who works out the front is so kind and polite and after only going once she remembered my preference for my order every single time after that. Small things like that don’t go unnoticed and it made our experience from seed to cup coffee even better. Thank you for making me feel so welcome! I wish we didnt have to leave here so I could always come back!

Absolutely loved this place! The waffles were amazing – soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. The coffee was another highlight – rich, aromatic, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It’s the kind of spot you just want to come back to, whether for a relaxed breakfast or an afternoon treat. Highly recommend!

Great spot for breakfast. I had the American breakfast which was really good. Not much of a coffee drinker but I ended up getting two mocha lattes because they were really good. Left satisfied but not stuffed.
