Secret Haven Cafe — Restaurant in Caloocan

Newly opened last September 2024, Secret Haven is instagrammable with the lights, the aesthetic wall mirror and the circle with seat by the entrance. Mid ranged prices. Nice presentation/ plating.

Orders The servings are not really big and the plate is small. In fact, the bangus (small so semi boneless) is already touching the surface of the table, that's why we asked for a separate plate. Vinegar is really spicy and appetizing. Tuna aglio olio is cheesy. Americano with a pump of caramel but me and my companion did not taste even a hint of caramel, the supposedly caramel liquid in a separate container is clear and tastes like fructose (liquid sugar). Caramel syrups are usually light brown. Choco mint with pump of mint got the specifications and how I like it. Croissant outside is flakey but inside is just like bread loaf.

They also offer student meal strictly for students.

Pros Pop music played. With toilet and separate handwash. Airconditioned. Free wifi and outlets.
