Qizia Cafe — Restaurant in Marikina

this is a local favorite. i only had coffee and desserts but the resto serves a variety of meals. i tasted blueberry cheesecake, oreo cheesecake, and brazo de mercedes. all good but nothing exceptional. the coffee was so so. oreo cheesecake pairs well with coffee. and brazo with tea. the prices are comparable to those of mid to high range coffee shops so it is reasonable to expect more.

place is pretty crowded and packed and service is slow ( not the fault of the staff, they seem to be undermanned given the high volume of customers). there's also a waiting line for customers to be seated, so i would assume they would have good food. place needs better lighting and lay out, perhaps redesign.

the resto is located right beside a hospital so it must be convenient for...
