This place's view is lit (especially at night). It's good for couples I think. The staffs are very accommodating. If you want to chill out and relax this is the right place for you. They have great menu also.

Ordered Ice Matcha, taste was so-so but had fun taking photos as well as getting Mansanitas (Aratilis) from nearby trees. The chickens had fun eating the leftover fruit. They also have a dog by the cafe. Near the tanawan lookout. View not that impressive. A good place to just hang in Carcar if you have your own vehicle.
