Hence, it’s no surprise that Iloilo has a wealth of cafes that can cater to Ilonggos on late-night date ideas or just on a mission to find the perfect cup of coffee.

For those searching for a late-night caffeine fix, Iloilo has a variety of cafes that stay open even in the wee hours of the night. Here's a list of these convenient cafes in Iloilo.

When you mention coffee in Iloilo, one name that will undoubtedly surface is Madge Cafe. This coffee shop in Iloilo is a well-loved homegrown cafe that started in the 1940s inside the local market in the La Paz district. The original coffee shop has been a local favorite for generations and has welcomed prominent personalities. However, due to the construction of the market, their old place has been moved. Though they have changed to a temporary location in the market, they continue to welcome their patrons.

Those who want to try Madge's signature coffee can do so at their other shop in Atria Park District. With an air-conditioned room and artistic interior with several cups as decor, Madge Atria is more commercial-looking than its market counterpart. However, visitors can surely experience the same authentic coffee and food Madge serves. The place is always teeming with groups sharing their stories, just like it is known for. The cafe is open until midnight.


2. Coffeebreak NXT

Location: SM City South Point, Two Global Center, Megaworld; and Robinsons Place Pavia
