The size and look of the place with its white umbrellas, hanging plants, and other garden-inspired details will appeal to families out on pandemic road trips, couples looking for a secluded space to dine, as well as small groups of cyclists or bikers who just want to rest and recharge before their ride home. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2021/life/02/20/02-(1).jpg"/><figcaption>Cozy garden cafe set-up. <em>Kara Santos</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>The cafe, which opened towards the end of January 2021, is located along the Manila East Road right below Wells Resort, a small rest house with a private pool perched atop a hill. Riders can easily spot the rock formation along the highway and park their motorcycles right outside the resto while cyclists can take in their bikes to the space.</p><p>This February, they&#x27;ve set up their space for Love Month, with a large heart-shaped backdrop for photo ops, perfect for intimate lunch or dinner dates.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2021/life/02/20/03-(1).jpg"/><figcaption>Well&#x27;s Garden Cafe. <em>Kara Santos</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>The cafe serves affordable home-cooked meals that will remind visitors of simple living in the province, which many folk living in Metro Manila sorely miss these days. The cafe is also a haven for plant lovers as well and offers a few plants for sale. </p><p>Simple binalot-style meals like Chicken and Pork Adobo, Beef Steak and Breaded Pork Chop served with rice, tomato, salted egg are reasonably priced at P120 to P130 each. These are served on native basket plates lined with leaves and actual utensils instead of paper plates and disposable plastic spoons and forks that have become the norm in most restaurants.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2021/life/02/20/04-(1).jpg"/><figcaption>Binalot meals at Wells Garden Cafe. <em>Kara Santos</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>The cafe also serves all-day Filipino (Beef Tapa, Pork Longganisa, Daing na Bangus, Tuyo) and American breakfast meals (Hungarian Sausage, Bacon, Luncheon Meat) as well as sandwiches (Clubhouse, Chicken Sandwich, Ham &amp; Egg) for light snacks.</p><p>For those who just need a quick warm-up and energy boost before their ride home, the cafe also serves brewed coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea and other drinks. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2021/life/02/20/05-(1).jpg"/><figcaption>Rider-friendly food stop. <em>Kara Santos</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>Diners are asked to comply with guidelines while dining-in such as wearing face masks at all times except when eating, practicing social distancing, and making use of the disinfection station at the premises.
