Baguio Cathedral: A Must-Visit Landmark in Baguio City
Nestled in the heart of Baguio City, the Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral—more popularly known as Baguio Cathedral—stands as a masterpiece of neo-Romanesque architecture and
Travelers wandering through the cool, pine-scented corners of Baguio often search for places that blend good food, local creativity, and that distinct highland charm the city is known for. Tucked along Gardenia St. in Gulf View Horizon, Suello Village, Moch Cafe Baguio stands out as one of those rare stops where ambiance and artistry come together effortlessly — the kind of café that feels like a warm welcome after a long stroll through the City of Pines.
What first draws visitors in is Moch’s aesthetic story. Creamy walls, pastel blues, warm browns, and wooden textures shape an atmosphere that feels as gentle as a sunlit morning settling indoors. The palette is fresh yet soothing, giving the café the feeling of a quiet cabin with a touch of playful elegance. It’s a place that becomes familiar the moment you walk in — soft, airy, and thoughtfully curated.
This year, Moch adds another chapter to its charm as a proud participant in the 2025 Gastro × Art Creative Crawl of the Ibagiw Creative Festival, Baguio’s annual celebration of artistry and innovation. The café transforms into a creative nook featuring the works of Lopez Aquino and Malaggay Lito, whose pieces add subtle stories to the walls. Their art blends seamlessly with Moch’s warm interiors, turning casual corners into small galleries where conversations begin even before the food arrives.
The menu reflects the same philosophy of comfort and sincerity. Travelers can savor familiar favorites like ribs, salads, wraps, pizzas, soups, and light snacks — all crafted with the kind of grounded flavors that suit Baguio’s cool climate. Their colorful slushies bring a refreshing twist, especially delightful during warm afternoons, while a selection of alcoholic drinks adds a relaxed note for those winding down after a day of sightseeing.
Hospitality is another hallmark of the Moch experience. Guests often mention how genuinely warm and attentive the staff are, creating an atmosphere that feels easy and welcoming. Pet parents will also appreciate that the café is proudly pet-friendly, making it a destination where furry companions are just as welcome to enjoy the cool breeze.
But perhaps the ultimate highlight is the view — wide, calming, and distinctly Baguio. The café overlooks serene landscapes that invite visitors to slow down, breathe, and linger. Paired with its wood-and-pastel motif, Moch becomes a cozy hideaway where quiet afternoons turn into memorable moments. It’s easy to understand why guests say, “Walls that speak moch, tables made for stories.”

Baguio’s creative spirit doesn’t stop at cafés like Moch — it’s celebrated citywide through the Ibagiw Festival, a month-long showcase of local talent, crafts, and art that invites everyone to experience the city’s heart and soul. Its name comes from bagiw, the Ibaloi word for moss, symbolizing how deeply creativity is rooted in Baguio. Since the city earned its UNESCO Creative City recognition in 2017, the festival has grown into an annual platform where weaving, woodwork, visual arts, and homegrown stories take the spotlight.
Each November, artists, artisans, residents, and tourism partners come together to turn the city into a living gallery of culture and imagination. The 2025 edition, themed “Traditions Rooted, Futures Routed,” kicked off on November 14 at the Baguio Convention and Cultural Center with a ceremonial ritual that set the tone for a month of creativity. As Ms. Marie Venus Tan, Co-Chair of the Creative Baguio City Council, notes, tradition is more than history — it’s a foundation for self-expression, giving everyone the chance to leave a mark and create a unique identity through art, craft, and creativity.
