Honesty Coffee Shop
About
The shop with no seller! Ivana's Honesty Coffee Shop has been running on pure trust since 1995: there's no cashier, so you pick your coffee, snacks or souvenirs and drop your payment in the box. It's tiny and simple, but it's the most famous little store in Batanes and a sweet look at how Ivatans live. Grab a cup, sit outside and soak in the slow island pace!
