Ili-Likha Artists' Wateringhole

I love all their vegan and vegetarian food! I never thought I would enjoy a no-meat meal but I did! There are many artists' shop here where you can buy one-of-a-kind trinkets and art stuff.

There are several tenant of restaurant or cafe. The building was amazing, like a maze. Watch your step. No proper parking area. But the food itself no special. Only if you looking for authentic and unique place to experience in baguio, like a museum. Price of the foods little bit expensive.

It's a VERY unique place. I heard this place was made by an artist. The set up is that there are at least 5 food stalls and you can sit everywhere (they will deliver your food to you). Basically, it's like a food court but make it magical. It's also an Architectural hazard so always be vigilant when staying there. The food is actually good! The staff are accommodating and nice as well. will go back here again!

This cafe js like a gateway to primitive art. They offer authentic Baguio food. Every corner has a collection of various art pieces from various local artist. If you are looking for unique places in Baguio. This one is worth a tick on the bucket list

Very out of this world place. It looks small from the outside, upon entering you will think your inside the Howl’s Moving Castle. Lots of area to take picture if you are into it. Flower shop on second floor. The area offer variety of Coffee/ Food and even Vegan Food and Coffee. Very clean and quiet environment.

Whether you aim to experience the vibe alone, take a quick coffee break, or eat your snack or lunch, this can be the place to be.

As an artist, going here was one of the highlights of my Baguio trip! I liked how the owner, National Artist for Film Kidlat Tahimik wanted the place to be an avenue for the spontaneous expression of creativity of its resident artists. Seriously, the result was a structure that looks like Howl's Moving Castle! I love the floors colored by mosaics of tiles, the walls with randomly implanted bottles, and the little rooms showcasing mind-boggling paintings. Everything was a feast to my eyes! Also, there are cafes and restos inside the village and they are owned by the resident artists themselves. I only bought cafe latte at Leandro Bistro and one of the male staff is very hospitable. He speak English really, really well too so if you're a foreigner, just ask him questions if you're curious about the place. Haha.

An underrated destination in Baguio city. Its food and art in one place. You might be intimidated to enter the compound but once you’re in surely you wont regret it.

Its actually a food hall with different shops offering different foods (there also a vegan shop here as what I remember). The place itself is very interesting, it feels like a shop carved inside a tree with interesting paths leading to different shops. The aesthetic of the artists who made this perfectly complements Baguio’s environment.

So if youre looking for a place in baguio to impress your friends or family, bring them here for a coffee or meal. A worth side trip visit when staying in Baguio.

A wonderful place where you can immerse yourself in the different crafts of various artists while enjoying a good cup of coffee.

They have various cafés inside the place.
Plus it's also in the city center so it's a convenient place to go to especially if you're walking along session road.

Parking is limited though

Designed like a food hub with different dining, coffee, and vegetarian experiences in this two-floor artists' haven. Very eclectic. The changing venue keeps evolving. An experience for the stomach, and the eyes.

Definitely worth visiting and dining in here. We ate at Cafe Cueva and had coffee at Kapi Kullaaw. Food are relatively cheaper and tasteful than most hyped food places in Baguio.

Good to include in any Baguio itinerary. Good food options mixed with art in a maze / tree house like setting. It’s like being in a different world. We tried the coffee in Kape Kullaaw - benguet coffee French press gives a needed kick for your energy levels for Baguio sightseeing!

A beautiful place with multiple Cafes, gift shop and artisans onsite (wood carver was active as seen in photo). All of the food we ordered was delicious, and the Expresso with milk tastes the same as Captain Quackenbush's on the drag in Austin Texas. Love the happy staff and overall vibe, will return.

This place is exceptional, How the heck the Artist came up with all the materials he put together. I luv this place. The food is great too.

This used to be an empty lot with street food vendors back in the day, nowadays, it's been converted into a sprawling art/tree house with some restaurants inside. Happened upon Rico Gutierrez who gave us a tour of the place. It has a small auditorium inside made from reclaimed materials which makes it very unique. All in all a beautiful place for local artists to showcase their work.

I was here for the screening of Tanabata's Wife at Balanghai ni Iking. It was a great experience!

If Oh My Gulay gives you the feeling of being in the air Ililikha will give you the feeling of being inside a faeries world. There are many wonderful pocket spaces you can tuck yourself into. A good place to channel the inner artist in everyone.

Ticking this place off of my Baguio bucketlist! Can't wait to be back here and try other restos inside! What a vibe, Ililikha. I'm in love 💖

A must visit in Baguio .Small from the outside. When you enter inside you will be amazed with arts and different designs ,with coffee shop.

People are sooo friendly and fascinating. The people who own the food shops and the souvenir shop are artists too. Food is just delicious. A+. Brought my sister and her friends here, they all loved it. Ambience is super artsy. Food is cheap too! Great great place. I always visit when I go to Baguio.
