One of the best Filipino cuisines is from the Western Visayas or the Ilonggo Region. The region offers a rich culinary heritage with a diverse range of flavors, making it a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts. But not all can visit the region physically and try the experience.
Good news! Thanks to the passion, dedication and continuous efforts of an Ilonggo in the city, Mr. Jurry Nabaja, now you can have a taste of these delectable cuisines nearby… thru Kape Longgo.
First Branch
Kape Longgo Antipolo officially opened its doors to the public last May 14, 2023, in time for the Mother’s Day. Food enthusiasts longing to have a taste of Bacolod were welcomed with big smiles by the café staff and by the owner, Mr. Jurry Nabaja himself together with his family and friends.

-- "I like your Mission, “Respect”, i like your Vision, “SMILE”, so i
think you have good food here because you have a good heart... for sharing, na-witness
ko naman kung papaano ka makisalamuha sa mga tao."
The Place
Antipolo is also home to various restaurants and eateries that offer a wide range of Filipino dishes. Kape Longgo is a great addition to them.

Jurry wants to bring that culture here,
to give us a glimpse of what is like to be in the city of smiles."

Guests can opt
to stay on the ground floor or go up to the mezzanine level. Nothing to worry
though for your pictures, both areas are instagrammable.
The Food
Kape Longgo Café and Restaurant serves authentic Bacolod dishes like Chicken Inasal, Kansi, KBL, Callos, Binakol, Laswa and many more. During the opening, we have tried Kansi, Callos and Binakol. With an obvious twist and taste of Bacolod, I must say the dishes are exceptional and worth trying.

Also, thinking of the kids’ tastebuds, Spaghetti, Carbonara, Sandwiches and Fried Chicken are also available in their menu. They also serve snacks, breakfast items and student meals.
The
Coffee
The “Kape” in
the name Kape Longgo is for Coffee.
From classic
brews to artisanal blends, Kape Longgo’s hot coffee selection is brewed to
perfection with the finest beans and ingredients. Have a taste of Latte,
Machiato and Americano together with your favorite cakes and pastries in the
counter. You still have plenty of coffee options, checkout their menu board.
