Breakfast buffet for less than Php 500. Tagaytay City is one of the nearest place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life. Due to its proximity to Manila, we like carrying out unplanned (and planned) trips in Tagaytay for a breathe of  fresh air. Our future 'Mars' at the Bag of Beans entrance Recently, we drop by Tagaytay for a 'Mars' mini-reunion. Dyan, our friend, prepared the itinerary for our day (thanks a lot D!). Our first stop, breakfast at the Bag of Beans Coffee Shop and Bakery located along the Aguinaldo Highway.

If you are interested, contact us at yanxandvanz@gmail.com. Let us know how we can share the Peninsula Manila experience.
