Siargao offers amazing vegan breakfast options. This is one of the reasons I love this island in the Philippines so much. When you combine a beautiful tropical island with a good variety of vegan restaurants, you get a perfect island paradise.
I spent almost a week in Siargao, but it was definitely not enough. It is a beautiful tropical island where you can relax, surf, party, enjoy great food, and have fun. It is also a place where you will meet lots of young travellers from all over the world. Because of that, you won’t have any trouble finding somewhere to enjoy your evenings.
WHERE TO STAY IN SIARGAO?
I stayed at the most amazing villa at Kaimana Resort Siargao. The resort is small and offers a choice between private rooms and villas. As I was staying for a longer period, I decided to book a private villa, and it was the best decision ever. The villa was private, clean, and luxurious.
There is also a large pool and a beautiful garden, the perfect combination for a relaxing swim after a long day. You can rent a motorbike through the accommodation, which makes everything efficient and hassle-free.
Kaimana Resort in Siargao doesn’t offer breakfast, but there are so many fantastic vegan cafés and restaurants nearby that you really don’t need to eat at your accommodation.

VEGAN BREAKFAST IN SIARGAO
Compared to other islands in the Philippines, I feel that Siargao has far more vegan and healthy restaurants. You can enjoy traditional Filipino food made vegan or go for Western options.
Most restaurants offering vegan breakfast in Siargao serve smoothie bowls. If you like sweet and fruity breakfasts, this is perfect for you. There are so many plant-based smoothie bowl options that choosing the best one can be difficult. But it is the most refreshing vegan breakfast you can find in the tropical heat.
Some restaurants in Siargao also serve savoury breakfast options, such as toast loaded with different toppings. Most cafés and restaurants offer oat, soy, or coconut milk for coffee, which is great news for all the coffee lovers out there.
Here are my favourite vegan breakfast spots in Siargao:
THE SOUL SHACK VEGAN BREAKFAST IN SIARGAO
This was our most memorable vegan breakfast spot in Siargao. The place has a spiritual feel with relaxed boho vibes. You can enjoy your food on the upper floor, sitting on cushions and looking out at the lush greenery.
They serve amazing smoothie bowls, smoothies, cacao potions, and my favourite breakfast there: papaya filled with coconut yoghurt. I’m still dreaming about that papaya now that I’m no longer in Siargao.
VEDYA SIARGAO VEGAN BREAKFAST
This vegan breakfast spot is right next to The Soul Shack. If you are staying nearby or have a motorbike, it is easy to reach both.
They offer toast with various toppings, such as macadamia banana brûlée for something sweet, or a range of savoury options like mushroom toast, hummus, pesto, or falafel. For a sweet plant-based breakfast, you can also choose a smoothie bowl, pancakes, or a yoghurt parfait.
Their entire menu is vegan, although some drinks may include dairy or honey. Their coffee is also really good.
SANABOWL SUPERFOOD CAFE
This is a small breakfast spot in Siargao that offers smoothie bowls and healthy toasts. The restaurant is not fully vegan, but there are some great vegan options.
Sanabowl is very popular, so be prepared for crowds. Their smoothie bowls are excellent, and you can even add vegan protein powder. You can choose from flavours like açaí, Mangolicious, creamy coconut, and cocoa banana. Their iced oat milk cappuccino is a must-try!
SHAKA SIARGAO VEGAN BREAKFAST
Shaka is located in the perfect spot, right next to the famous surf break at Cloud 9. This popular vegan restaurant is best visited early in the morning. You can watch the surfers while enjoying your breakfast.
They have a wide range of delicious breakfast options including smoothie bowls, bliss cups made with chia pudding, and if you prefer a savoury breakfast, you can go for a veggie sandwich, wrap, or other tasty plant-based dishes.
VER DE SIARGAO BREAKFAST
This is a vegan restaurant you absolutely must visit in Siargao. They have amazing breakfast options. If you prefer savoury breakfasts, you can choose between a chickpea omelette or tofu scramble.
For something sweet, they offer whole grain pancakes, gluten-free waffles, or smoothie bowls. Their coffee and smoothies are also worth a try.
SAINT THOMAS COFFEE
This is a beautiful coffee shop that’s worth visiting just for the vibes, especially if you are a coffee lover like me. I am not sure if they offer any vegan breakfast options, but they do serve an excellent iced oat milk cappuccino.
SHANTI SHANTY CAFE SIARGAO
This breakfast spot and bakery is known for its amazing sourdough. It is not fully vegan, but you can still find some options. Their overnight oats are great, and you can also have bread with nut butter or a veggie sandwich—just ask them to leave out the cheese.
HAPINESS RESTAURANT SIARGAO
This restaurant is not vegan, but you can find one good option. For breakfast, they offer vegan banana oatmeal pancakes with coconut sauce. Their coffee with oat milk is also worth trying.
GREEN VAWES CAFÉ BREAKFAST
If you’ve run out of places to try and want a vegan smoothie bowl, this café is a good choice.
HOW TO GET AROUND SIARGAO?
There are a few ways to get around Siargao. The easiest is to rent a motorbike. We rented one through our accommodation, Kaimana Resort, but there are plenty of motorbike rentals available around the island.
->You can also rent a motorbike before arriving on the island here!
If your accommodation in Siargao is in a good location, somewhere near General Luna, you will be able to walk to most bars and vegan restaurants. So, if you are not comfortable riding a motorbike, walking is your best option.
There are also a lot of tuk-tuk drivers on the island, but I am not sure how expensive they can be.
HOW TO GET FROM THE SAYAK AIRPORT TO GENERAL LUNA?
Getting from Sayak Airport to General Luna is very easy. As soon as you collect your luggage and exit the airport building, you will find shared shuttle vans waiting to take you to your accommodation for a fixed price.
To get back to the airport, ask your accommodation to book a ride for you. You can also book your shuttle in advance through Klook. That way, you will have a guaranteed seat and less stress, leaving more time to enjoy the sunshine in your bikini!
