Our cafe culture has been thriving, as cafes have become places we visit not just to eat and drink, but for the ‘gram too.
Some of the most popular cafes can be found in hilly Baguio and Tagaytay, but further down south, the Chukoohills Cafe & Restaurant in Lantapan, Bukidnon is worthy of a stopover too whenever you’re traveling around the province.

Clad in bamboo and designed like a grand bahay kubo, Chukoohills is an eye-catching cafe and restaurant situated in the middle of the mountains in Barangay Kaatuan, Lantapan, Bukidnon that opened on 8th November.

Chukoohills Cafe and Restaurant is made of wood and bamboo, a flexible, strong, and organic building material, so you’ll be dining not just inside a Filipino-themed cafe, but also one that’s kind to the environment.
Adorned with intricate furniture and fixtures, the design also pays attention to the minutest details – from straw mats to spiral staircases made of natural materials.
You can relax while eating your breakfast and sipping your coffee in the cafe surrounded by the panoramic Kaatuan mountains.

Couples can also arrange a Filipino-themed prenuptial photoshoot here – in fact, even before it opened, there were couples who already shot their prenup photos here, while wearing traditional clothing.
