Café Isabelle — Restaurant in Zamboanga del Norte

Reviews for the coffee shop and restaurant. Coffee shop: We stopped after some friends tried it. The cafe is nestled between Cathy's Bakery and the restaurant with some seating in a cool interior and seats outside in a well shaded patio. I ordered a cappuccino which had a nice hint of cinnamon and an excellent decoration. They also have baked goods from Cathy's Bakery, all good and subject to a separate review. Suffice it to say, the baked goods are excellent. They friendly staff also provided water which was most welcome. The bathroom was clean and the facility is well maintained. We'll be back.

Restaurant: food was delicious and higher quality than what I've experienced in the city. Prices reflect this as well. The chicken inasal and teriyaki had a nice char and flavorful sauces.

Place is not crowded. Only few people visits making a homy and serene atmosphere.

I just have one concern on the security. I do not see any guards on duty, which is probably the reasons why I was frequently interrupted by beggars while I was dining at the alfresco.

Overall, I had a very good impression...

One of the best restaurants in Dipolog City. The ambiance in this restaurant is very cozy, it feels like you're just at home. Their menu is mainly Filipino dishes which is a big plus for me. Their crispy pata is good and the least appetizing dish for me is their pancit canton because of how little the meat was. Their coffee was also not for me because it was bland and it tasted like instant coffee. The prices are also reasonable based on...
