Milky Start is my favorite little spot in Siargao. The food is fresh and tasty—the chicken quinoa salad is always a good idea. Smoothies are thick, juices are refreshing, and they serve one of the nicest (and cheapest!) espressos on the island at just ₱90. It’s a cozy place with chill vibes, friendly people, and great prices. Easy to miss, but once you find it, you’ll keep coming back.

Literally the best hidden gem of Siargao! The best amaretto sours are consumed here for amazing prices! I quickly became friends with the amazing Ate's working in the kitchen cooking the best sizzling pork sissig for us. At the end of my 6 week stay in Siargao, Ate even helped me prepare cocktails for my despedida dinner and provided me with Milky Start's plates and cutlery. (We were loyal regulars there haha) I MISS THIS PLACE! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Thanks for the great food MJ, one of the most affordable restaurants in Siargao. The service is quick and up to the mark. The place is very tidy and cozy. Best part is it has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options all within the budget of 200 peso, including a choice of coffee hot or cold.

Food is served fresh. Good food. Also a great place for when you're on a budget. Staff are friendly and quick to give attention. Milky the pup is entertaining but always run away. Met Pili the pup there too. Owner is very hands-on and accomodating. Highly recommended.

One of the best cafe we've been. I don't really give review to places but this one has made me give them the first one. The place is laid-back siargao vibe, if you are a backpackers and on a budget this place suits you . The cocktails are amazing!! has really a good price for a proper one compare to bars. The staff are nice. We've been here many times during our stay, definitely recommends the place and we will surely be back here on our next visit.
