This is my first time tasting all the food, and it's truly a "mapapa-wow" experience. My favorite drink is the Sunset Passion Frappe, which I will definitely come back for. As for the pastas, all of them are delicious! From the sizzling beef pepper steak to the croffle, and even the ube cream frappe, I will surely return to taste everything on the menu.

The Ambiance and Food is actually really great. We tried various meals on their menu and it’s actually really nice. The price is definitely proportional to their food portion. Pasta is actually good for 2 I tried their Carbonara and they put their extra sauce in case you want your meal to be saucy. Baby Back Ribs is actually a lot too. If you want to try it but dont want to order a platter. you can definitely order the one in their rice meals. Mango Lychee Fruit Tea is very refreshing. It’s quite sweet at first sip so I let the ice sit in order for it to melt and its actually not a bad decision haha. Barkada Snack Tray Sampler is actually a good sharing choice. You can already try a lot of different pica pica at a reasonable price. I’m not a fan of nachos but I really like this one. As per my cousin, The spaghetti meatballs is quite on the acidic side but it actually complements the pasta well. Overall, we got really full with all our orders and definitely recommendable. Since their portion is quite a lot (probably good for 2-3 persons) you should plan your orders well.

This isn't my first time visiting Cafe Senja, and it certainly won't be my last! I'm so glad I found this place. It's truly a neighborhood gem that feels instantly welcoming—it’s warm, beautifully designed, and they always have the perfect playlist. It’s ideal for catching up with friends or settling in to get some work done. The menu is consistently exceptional, and the quality here never disappoints. Every item I've tried, from the savory options to the sweet treats, is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with attention to detail. Their beverages are also consistently excellent and perfectly crafted. What truly sets this spot apart is the incredible service. The staff are genuinely welcoming and attentive, making you feel like a valued regular from the moment you walk in. If you're in the Kalibo area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll quickly see why I keep coming back!

This cafe has one of the best pastas I had ever had so after going there for the first time, I came back the next day and brought friends with me. I had the seafood marinara and my husband got spaghetti and meatballs and they were both delicious. The portion size is huge! It's very filling. We also tasted the potato wedges and it came with two sides. The aurora dip is heaven. I also tried the shrimp aglio olio and it was also so delicious. Pasta is still bouncy and shrimp is very fresh. The sunset passion was very refreshing. It looked like they used fresh passionfruit.
