DOT visits Ivana’s Honesty Coffee Shop in Batanes: brewing trust for years

THE Department of Tourism’s Philippine Experience Program Heritage, Culture, and Arts Caravan delegates on Wednesday (March 26) made a memorable stop at the renowned Honesty Coffee Shop—a cherished symbol of Ivatan pride.

Established in 1995, this unmanned, self-service spot operates entirely on trust.

Guests can purchase items such as snacks, drinks, and souvenirs, and then record their transactions in a logbook before depositing payments in designated locked boxes.
