Balinsasayaw Cafe & Art Gallery in Cavite
If you want to go to a cafe surrounded by greenery, there are plenty in Cavite which is just about an hour away from the south of Metro Manila. But to see nature, coffee, and art all at once, Balinsasayaw in Cavite is the place to check out.
The place is an art gallery-slash-cafe so it’s as if you visited two places at once. Plus, it also has nature views that’ll help you relax before you return to the city and to your day-to-day life.
Art gallery for a cause

Balinsasayaw is located in a minimalist structure that makes the perfect canvas for its gallery.
Most of the art you’ll see here are realist and abstract paintings of plants, flowers, birds, and people that’ll make great pieces in your living room or in the hallways of your home or office.
You won’t only get to beautify your space and support local artists when you buy an artwork from Balinsasayaw either. The profit from these art pieces will be used to build an orphanage in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Coffee and other refreshments
