Cafes in Marikina

Cafes in Marikina grew out of a city that makes things by hand. The shoemakers came first and the roasters followed. Several shops here roast their own beans on site. One pours inside a modernized bahay na bato. Another hides down an eskinita and explains every bean before you sip.

Lilac Street holds the longest walkable stretch. Poblacion keeps the older rooms along J.P. Rizal. Concepcion and Marikina Heights fill the east. The river runs through the middle of all of it. This guide covers every side.
