Allan and Mercedes - Founders of Almers Cafe in Matalam, Cotabato
About Us

Welcome to Almers Cafe

"where passion, quality, and family come together in every meal we serve."

The name Almers is a combination of the names Allan and Mercedes, a husband-and-wife team whose shared dream gave life to the café. Allan, a former seaman, spent many years working overseas to provide capital for business. Mercedes pursued her passion for the culinary arts, building her career as a chef at Resorts World Manila and later at Hilton Manila, where she honed her skills in creating exceptional dishes and delivering world-class dining experiences.

Driven by a love for cooking and a desire to bring quality dining closer to their hometown, they founded Almers Cafe in Matalam, North Cotabato. Their goal was to create more than just a café—they wanted to build a place where families and friends could gather, enjoy delicious food, and experience genuine hospitality.

At Almers Cafe, we believe that every meal should be prepared with passion, served with care, and enjoyed in a welcoming atmosphere. We are committed to using quality ingredients, maintaining high standards in food preparation, and providing friendly, attentive service that makes every visit memorable.

Today, Almers Cafe continues to grow while staying true to its founding values of quality, passion, and heartfelt hospitality. We are grateful for the trust and support of our customers and remain dedicated to serving the Matalam community with food that brings people together.
