"Halfway Café: Best View in Dauin? Absolutely. If you're looking for a relaxing spot with stunning scenery, Halfway Café is a must-visit. Located in Dauin, it offers a breathtaking overlook of Mt. Talinis and lush mountain views. Ambiance: 8/10 The interior is cozy and well-designed—think billiards, TVs, and big comfy couches that make it easy to chill while enjoying your meal or drink. Cafe Offerings: They serve a variety of food, drinks, cookies, and cakes—a solid mix for a casual hangout or quick escape. Coffee Review: I ordered a cappuccino and honestly, it needs work. 4/10 – It was too milky with barely any coffee flavor. The balance between espresso and milk needs improvement to match the quality of the place. Overall: Great for the view and ambiance. Just hoping they level up their coffee game soon."

"We come here to eat fairly regularly. The beautiful view and fresh air are additional pluses to the good food. The quality, taste, and quantity reflect good value for money. The menu isn't very large, but there's something for everyone. The shakes and desserts are also worth mentioning. The service is usually very good (it always depends on which server is on duty – a big thank you especially to Rose)."

"I’ve been here four times even though it’s quite far, because it’s definitely worth the long trip away from the city. The place is very relaxing, and they offer free entertainment like a pool, a small playground for kids, a trampoline, and a foosball table you can enjoy with friends."

"Looking for a remote place to dine on Negros Island? The Halfway Cafe is your perfect place! With delicious food, a relaxing atmosphere, and fun activities like board games and a pool table, there's something for everyone—even the kids. Located on the second floor of a residential house, the cafe also offers a place to stay and a refreshing pool to dive into. I enjoyed a mouth-watering medium-rare beef tenderloin with a side salad and chips, and to beat the tropical heat, I sipped on a delightful banana shake. My meal wasn't complete without some flavorful garlic fried rice. While waiting for our food, we enjoyed playing foosball."
