3. Burrow Cafe
An underground café hidden in Antipolo Beehouse. Burrow Cafe has a rustic finish that has a large window panels in one side with a view of a dense vegetation.
The café serve’s an all-day breakfast, lunch menu and vegan selection as well. We tried their Lechon Gising-Gising Bowl and Wine Braised Beef Cheeks.
We wanted to try their Sourdough Pizzas because we heard that it is a “must-try”. Unfortunately, it was out-of-stock during our visit. We did try their Burrow Sourdough Toast and House rolls, and we loved it.
Recommendations: Lechon Gising-Gising and their Sourdough Pizzas.
Tip: You need to go down a steps to the underground café. The stairs from the parking to the garden is a little bit uneven and slippery. Consider this when going with old people or those with disability. If you still want to try Burrow Café but unable to because of the stairs, they do accepts orders for pick-up or delivery.
