Jose Karlo's Coffee

My first ever coffeeshop experience is in this place almost 20 years ago. I love this place. Still standing tall and strong after the typhoon haiyan. Their coffee and cakes are still Delicious and affordable. They still have the hip and quaint designs. The staff are very friendly and full of smiles. Best coffeeshop in tacloban

The coffee experience in Jose Karlos never gets old... Memories of friendship and shared experiences and ideas over coffee on this place are treasured with this place. The coffee and place is still one of the best in town amidst growing competition of new and young shops...

Former house turned coffee shop. Has great character and dim lighting. Good for meetings or dates. Coffee and snacks are delightful, but I would recommend that HOT coffee be served in coffee mugs and not glass cups (suitable for cold coffee). So thankful I found this place. However it was disappointing to see people with their dirty feet on the furniture listening to videos without earphones. I hope management increases their prices to prevent these type of people from ruining the wonderful atmosphere. Also, I know it’s Christmas, but why is it necessary to play the same songs over and over and over and over again? It honestly takes away from the experience...

I had lunch today there with my mother. The place is great and the food were the delicious. However, there was a little problem with a staff when I ordered dessert. I asked for a carrot cake and 2 cashew tarts. I did get my cake, but then they got me two sansrival. I (politely) said that I asked for cashew tarts, but the lady got all defensive, even went to the back to ask the other staff there, and I didn't like her tone on how she talked to me. From there, I just decided to just let it go to not make the situation out of hand over a dessert. I don't mind the mistake/misunderstanding, but had she not talked to me that way, (and apologize that she heard it wrong) I would have let it slide and not write a review. I just feel that they have to be aware and mindful next time it happens to another paying customer. Sorry, it got to this and thank you for your understanding.

Ordered simple brewed coffee (just okay, no cold drinks that day since there was no ice delivery), biscuits were a bit stale, but prices are decent. What really made us stay was the ambiance... so homey with a vintage aesthetic. Heard from a local this is one of the OG coffee spots in Tacloban, definitely worth a visit if you’re traveling here

Great place to chill & easily accessible Nice ambiance and almost every corner is instagrammable Food was just okay tho. Ordered the Hawaiian pizza, Moist cake & Baked mac.

This is a very comfy and casual, kind of older world coffee shop and restaurant. The vibe is very nice. The food was tasty.
