Ahhhh! After 4 months of no travel, 100 plus days into quarantine, finally I was able to go out (not just grocery) and breathe fresh air! I feel more like myself again! Mind you, for travelers and extrovert like me, staying at home can be crazy sometimes. Although I fully understand the severity of our situation right now, it took a toll on me most days. But hey, there’s a lot of lesson learned, more time with family, we’re healthy, and that’s the most important thing!
So… just two days ago, one of my best friends told us that they’re visiting this place. I was like “seriously there’s an open cafe now?”, but my mind is screaming “let’s go!!!”. This is another hidden gem in Rizal that you definitely shouldn’t miss. Located at Lot 18 Block 178 Eastridge Executive Village, Tayuman, Binangonan Rizal, this place is what you need right now if you need a breather from all the stress, worries, and anxiety. It’s a special events place with a 360º view of Laguna lake, Pililia Windmills, and mountains. I promise you’ll enjoy the sunset, moon and starry night. We were there from opening to closing, 2:00PM – 6:30PM. They are open from Tuesday through Sunday, and closed during Mondays. Super affordable entrance fee, for only PHP200, you get to enjoy their artwork and the spectacular view!
Our friend’s car modeling with this view is just wow!
How to get there?
- If you’re using a car, you can search it in Waze
- Via commute, take a shuttle to Thunderbird
- Take a UV Express from Megamall or Starmall Crossing to Binangonan or SM Angono.
- Drop off at Scrapyard beside 7/11 Angono corner Col Guido road.

There’s a lot of beautiful artwork that you can see there. Sadly, I focused on the view so I wasn’t able to take much photos of the artwork.
My friends and I are COVID-19 free so please don’t worry if we were close to each other in this photo. Note that we also wore our masks before entering, but removed it since we were eating and taking photos.
We stayed at the 3rd level by the fireplace, although it was hot around 2:00PM – 4:00PM as the sun hits directly to this spot. 
They have specific menu for July, and honestly there’s just a few to choose from. However, I think the food was great with a reasonable price. We ordered Pizza Margherita, Lemon Grass Wings, and Pesto Pasta.
Here’s the menu for July:
Since we stayed there until they closed, we were able to experience the view at night. So nice!!!
