Kapleya Café · Our Story

Rooted in Aklan.

Kapleya brings local flavors, familiar food traditions and everyday café experiences together in Kalibo, Aklan. At its heart is Tableya de Batirol: Filipino chocolate prepared from cacao tablets and mixed with a traditional wooden whisk called a batirol. Customers may also experience mixing their own tableya. The tsokolatera—the vessel used in this tradition—inspires Kapleya’s visual symbol. The café began with Kapleya UNO, its original branch in the Cathedral area, and later expanded with Kapleya DOS on D. Maagma Street. Both bring people together over food and drinks, with separate menus for each branch. Alongside tableya, Kapleya serves coffee, rice meals, all-day breakfast, merienda, pasta and desserts. Its newer creations explore familiar flavors in different ways. Cacao Teas make use of cacao shells from tableya preparation, paired with flavors such as mango and melon. From a usual order to a family meal or an afternoon with friends, Kapleya makes room for the everyday moments people share around the table.
