Madge café 

Madge café is located in the heart of La Paz public market, which made it special and unique compare to other “tambayan” in the city. Madge Cafe is a carinderia-style in appearance and very neat, it was quite windy because it is an open place and a no wifi zone for the customers to maintain their social life.  

Upon entering the café, a smell of fresh brew coffee will give a mellow sensation to the customers and other by-passers inside the market. Madge is one of the authentic and well preserved coffee shops in Iloilo that gives a home sweet home feeling in all the costumers. And also the affordable price, that attracts all kind of people.  

Madge Cafe was established in 1951 and is now one of the oldest family-run businesses in Iloilo. MADGE was taken from Nang Julieta’s mother-in-law, MARGARITA. Nang Julieta and her husband inherited the cafe when the parents of her husband passed away.

Since it started, Madge Cafe has been serving good coffee for 63-years. She also informed that they have a newly opened branch in the Diversion road and it is an air-conditioned one.

Madge Café opened its 2nd branch at Butlak Wellness Spa D'Salon at Diversion Rd., Mandurriao, Iloilo City last December 2012.The shop open 11:00 am every Friday -Saturday and 10:00 am on the remaining days. This coffee shop will always be the best “tambayan” suited for all type of people like students and office workers. 

They could choose coffee with milk in Mild, Regular and Strong coffee blend in Media Tabang, Media Regular and Media Cafe or savor the richness of coffee without milk by ordering Puro Regular, Puro Tabang and Media Puro for mild, medium and strong blends. Though the place and location changed, but still the taste and aroma of brew coffee is still the same. Their native hot and cold coffee together with their soft and tasty “pendesyosa” will be their trade mark to all their loyal and new customers.

The newly open branch of Madge café is a living legacy that though how competent the business world is, still there is a place we’re we could say “daw sa balay lang ko”.  J
