Kape Center

Aroma from freshly roasted coffee drifts down the street, inviting you to step inside our shop and get lost in good coffee.

Tucked in LIO Beach, El Nido, Palawan, Lost Islands Center for Kape is a space designed for caring for and roasting premium Philippine Specialty Coffees and more.

Inspired by the beauty of El Nido - its jagged cliff faces, crystal clear waters and vibrant jungles -- we creatively brew various coffee profiles that compliment the nature experience of locals and tourists alike.

Visit us at 12B Sitio Uno, Lio Estate, El Nido Palawan.

Philippine Coffee Advocates

LICK aims to source and advocate the unique and wonderful flavors of Philippine Specialty Coffee through close partnership and communication with local farms, cooperatives, and farmers.

"Really good coffee is a love a story on its own. The romance starts with a hike up the mountains to taste the coffee fruit and understand the bio-dynamics in its growing. When matched with the perfect water and brewing dynamics, the freshly ground coffee turns into a tasty beverage with flavor bursting out of the aromas in your nose and taste in your mouth” 

- Silvester Dan Sibal Samonte

Two-time Philippine National Barista Champion, coffee advocate and entrepeneur. 

Roasting Philippine Coffees

With the Froco Roaster, our center director ensures each coffee bean sourced is stored in prime conditions, roasted with the intention of bringing out the best flavor in every batch.
