Inside Edsai Café

Edsai Café sits along NLSA Rd in General Santos City, offering a comfortable and well-lit space that blends casual dining with a cozy café atmosphere. This spot works well whether you’re looking to catch up with friends, enjoy a quiet solo coffee break, or have a relaxed dinner after an active day. Its minimalist and inviting design creates a welcoming environment without feeling noisy or overbearing, making it a good fit for a laid-back lunch, casual meet-up, or even working on your laptop.

The menu leans into approachable comfort food, with local and international touches that satisfy a range of cravings. Dishes like the Breaded Pork Chop and Fish and Chips balance hearty flavors, while lighter options such as Kani Salad offer a fresh start. For those who need a satisfying main course, choices like Chicken Ala King served with rice or Carbonara Pasta hit the spot. The café also draws attention for its sweets, including the Brigadier Cake and Mozzarella Sticks, which complement the coffee and iced matcha lattes popular among visitors.

Locals appreciate Edsai for its friendly and attentive staff, who not only serve meals promptly but also make helpful recommendations without being intrusive. The café's pace is relaxed enough that service feels genuine rather than rushed, matching the calm vibe throughout.

One unique aspect is the setting—Edsai shares its compound with a basketball court and a small playground, making it especially convenient for families or folks who want to combine some casual dining with kids’ playtime or a quick game nearby. Parking is ample, which is a practical plus in this bustling area of Dadiangas.

Early evenings or afternoons during weekdays tend to be quieter times when you can settle in for a relaxed meal or a slow afternoon coffee. The café’s atmosphere suits a range of visitors: from groups unwinding after sports to professionals meeting up or locals just looking for a steady place to work or read.

Overall, Edsai Café offers a grounded, approachable experience—good food without pretense, an atmosphere that’s easy on the senses, and a neighborhood feel that matches its location in South Cotabato’s vibrant cityscape.

I highly recommend Edsai Café. The food is consistently delicious. The ambiance it feels welcoming without being too loud and the decor is very aesthetic,perfect for rtd's and dine out with the doctors. The service is equally impressive. The staff are friendly and attentive. They take the time to offer recommendations and always serve with genuine warmth. A great spot all around.

We ordered fish and chips, fries and cookies & cream frappe. It was tasty. The ambient is nice and well-lit. The serving time is around 10-15mins. It wasn’t crowded when we went there. There’s a basketball court and a small playground in the compound where the cafe is located. There’s a lot of parking slots maybe because of the court. The playground is open for everyone even if you don’t order from the cafe.

Very late review. We dined here last Dec. 2023. I like the vibe of their cafe, minimalist and cozy. I enjoyed their iced matcha latte. Will come back soon.

Ordering food goes smoothly in this cafe, I like their concept of "pay as you order". Then it will take them reasonable time to serve you with what you ordered. I highly recommend their matcha frappe (really good), buttered chicken and their cheese stick. Plus you could order spaghetti for kids who are picky eaters..
