The Craft
At the heart of SANA is a Sanremo espresso bar. We take our time with every shot — the right temperature, the right pressure — so each cup tastes the way it should.
Our house bean right now is a 100% Arabica from Cerrado, Brazil — nutty, with sweet chocolate and a hint of spice. Low acidity, medium body, a long sweet finish. Add milk and it drinks like dessert.
Our Story
The name comes from ours: Sasha and Natasha.
It's also the Filipino word for hope — for softer days, for meaningful conversations, for a chance to feel connected again.
Two meanings, one home.
After years abroad, Natasha came back to Dinagat with one quiet hope: a space where locals and travelers could connect over honest food and carefully crafted coffee.
SANA isn't built to impress. It's built to share — Dinagat's beauty, its flavors, and the kind of slow, warm welcome the island has always known.
The walls of SANA carry a quiet history. When Dinagat became a province, this building was one of its first government offices — a place locals have known by sight for decades.
Now it gathers a different kind of crowd: friends over coffee, families at sunset, travelers stopping in. Same walls, new chapter.

One of the best coffee shops I have experienced in a long time. Affordable, with sunset views while you eat. 10/10 place.
Hands down the best coffee in Dinagat Islands. We stayed for hours and got work done. Highly recommend for cozy vibes by the beach.
