I know it’s pretty touristy to visit a Starbucks while in the Philippines, but this one is far from your typical neighborhood Starbucks. Starbucks Reserve Hiraya has a great view of Taal Lake, one of the largest lakes in the country. The name “Hiraya” is a nod to the Old Tagalog word “haráya,” meaning imagination, creativity, or the power of the mind—fitting for a place that blends great coffee with stunning surroundings.
There’s plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a great spot to sit back and enjoy the view. If you’re looking for a place in Tagaytay to relax with a coffee and take in the scenery, this Starbucks is worth a visit.
