Established in December 2021 by Brett Campell, Jomar Decastillo, and Mary Joy Mendoza, the cafe paints the Kalibo landscape in neutral shades, coated in a suave, urban feel that thrives on minimalism… and a surplus of deer.
The interior and exterior designs were intended to capture "city feels", which can add some debonair flair to your Instagram feed. All that thanks to designer Eric Juanco Mendoza.
On the other hand, the deer emblem comes from the Patronus charm of Professor Snape in Harry Potter, a symbol many potterheads can appreciate, much like the owner himself.
Their coffee is brewed from fresh grinded beans that pair with their signature crème. Along with this, they offer Italian/Filipino/Asian Fusion dishes for the satisfaction of their customers, who are usually students and professionals that find delight in "good food, coffee, and long talks".
These include their Marlin Steak, carrot cheese cake, Italian pasta, pizza, and tuna sandwich. Don't miss out on their Mocha, Caramel, and Deja Creme Iced coffee — their proud best three!
Deja Cafe can be found in Roxas Ave, cor Mabini Street, tucked away behind Petron Gas Station.
