There's a cafe that's becoming popular if not yet that popular along Sumulong Highway in Antipolo. It is right across from Haven of Angels Memorial Chapel and Crematorium. We thought that it would probably be popular with those who have their dead at Haven of Angels with visitors doing the ritual 'pagpag' (shaking off) after going to a funeral wake. Since it is also along a popular bike route, I suppose that cyclists also go there for meals or drinks.

The entrance is at the back and away from the busy Sumulong Highway

A serving of potato wedges for a relatively heavy merienda

Coffee for the wife

Ripe mango shake and ube cake for me

The interiors are well-lighted and very pleasant to the eye. It gives a light, relaxed feeling to diners.

It was off-peak when we had our merienda there so there weren't many people around. There was a large group in a separate area though who were eating there after a funeral ceremony (most of them wore black and an urn was on the table near people who might be the closest kin of the departed).

Our merienda was good and we hope to go there again for either lunch or dinner. There are many items on their menu and some friends who've eaten there say their orders we're okay. It has a sister restaurant across the highway (beside Haven) that's called The Grounds. We haven't checked that out but will surely try eating there in the near future as we are curious about the new restaurants and cafes sprouting along Sumulong Highway. There are many already operating at the section near Cloud 9 and Padi's Point that we wanted to try eating at. So far, we've only managed to order from Behrouz when we had a craving for Persian food.
