Start your morning with a leisurely specialty-coffee flight and light pastries at Yardstick Coffee before strolling to the nearby Ukay-Ukay Bazaar for vintage finds and quirky souvenirs only locals often spot. Continue to BenCab Museum's lower gallery and coffee shop area to enjoy a late-morning art immersion and panoramic mountain views, then stop at Kape Umali en route for a rustic snack of house-baked pandesal and locally roasted brew to bridge the city's café culture with the provincial art trail.
