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.

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.

While other art galleries don’t allow you to bring in food, Balinsasayaw has a cafe inside its art gallery complete with tables where you can enjoy food, drinks, and artworks all at the same time.
You can get Americanos or a variety of lattes, hot or iced, starting at P100 (~USD1.81). A must-try drink is their Espresso Rum, a liquor-infused coffee, that goes for P190 (~USD3.43).
If you’re not into caffeine, they also have refreshing beverages such as peach mango, lychee peach, and teas in flavors such as mango lemon and passionfruit lemon.

Besides artworks, you can also enjoy views of nature when you dine in Balinsasayaw. Its structure has large windows that provide views of trees and shaped bushes.
The size of the windows also make it so that you can enjoy nature even if you’re not seated next to the window. Plus, they introduce ample natural light into the space.
If you’re looking for a cafe to visit in the weekend, choose to relax and be inspired by art and nature at Balinsasayaw in Cavite.
It’s also a great place to go if you’re looking for art pieces for your home or office as you’ll get to help orphans in Puerto Princesa have a safe space to stay.
