Marikina will never run out of great hang out places, I assure you.
We have been waiting for this cafe to open for the longest time. We often swing by Macky's Goto and once we saw the marquee of this cafe being put up just across the street, we knew we will be in its first wave of customers. A few weeks ago, they finally opened their doors to diners like us so we can check out this new cool place that is CAFE VIA ANGELO.
The menu offers a lot, I cannot say that they serve a specific type of cuisine, but all the items sure looked interesting. We decided to go Italian that night.
First up - the Cafe Via Angelo pizza. We didn't know that it was that BIG. And that LOADED. I am a sucker for pizzas that are served with loads and loads of cheese. We loved this one, and for amazing eaters (yes, that's the term) like us, we didn't finish it. Told you, it was really good, but HUGE. This is perfect for families or barkadas!
We also tried their pasta. This one's the seafood marinara (I'm sure you can judge from the prawn head gracefully sticking out... hehe!) I loved the sauce and the seafood flavors. One more thing I loved about the pasta? The bread! I forgot to ask the type of bread they served with the pasta... I think it had walnuts in it! Yum!
To end our meal, of course, we ordered cakes. The cool thing about Cafe Via Angelo is that they serve different cakes all the time (that's what I heard), so every time you visit, you may have a new set of cakes to choose from.
A cool place to hang out, on weekend afternoons, or food trip dates, or after church (this is a few meters from Our Lady of the Abandoned Church). Visit Cafe Via Angelo to relax and indulge for a while!

The counter and the dessert bar, behind which is the kitchen where all the magic happens

Yema Cake. Yema Cake. Yema Cake. (We got the corner slice, thus, the rosettes! Hehe)
Chocolate Decadence. This was actually a slice of chocolate-cheesecake-heaven.
I forgot the name of the cake, but It was chocolate based with marshmallow frosting and toffee crunch filling. Our favorite cake among the three we've tried.
