Casa Abuela / Abuelita's Cakes and Pastry Products

I visited this restaurant for the second time in less than two weeks with my big family. Both experiences were delightful. The food was excellent and the service was personal. I highly recommend the paella, callos, carbonara, garlic chicken, cheesy chicken dip, BBQ ribs, Sans Rival, and moist chocolate cake. We left feeling very full and satisfied.

After an ocular in Pinto Art Museum for an event my company is doing, my husband and I were famished. Tend to always go to Trip Advisor to check the eating spots in the area and Casa Abuela had good reviews. And rightfully so! Their staff welcomed us with warm smiles. The resto is located along the road, right across the Yakult office in Antipolo. Parking area is quite cramped. Luckily, when we went there, it was just us eating at the place. There's no high chair. But that's because this seemed more like a date place. The food is really good. The callos was yummy, and the roast beef, very tender. Wish I ordered the cordon bleu as well. We also tried out their spaghetti. Very tasty. The shakes were good, contrary to a review that said it tasted like medicine. But the MUST try is the cream puffs. They were like small pieces of heaven. The creamy filling was so good! The food we ordered included a free slice of cake. What a sweet bonus! Overall, the experience eating here was very satisfactory. Good food, attentive staff, homey ambiance. Perfect place to chill and chat.

My wife and I recently dined at this restaurant and left feeling completely satisfied. We not only enjoyed our meal, but also couldn't resist purchasing some of their delicious offerings to take home, despite being too full to try them at the time. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious! We also ordered some Christmas treats as gifts a few weeks later. On our daughter's first birthday, we requested a cake from Margot & Benjie with real strawberries for our baby. We were thrilled with the result and have decided to make Casa Abuela our go-to bakery for our little one's birthday cakes every year!

Last year, we dined at this restaurant for Mother's Day. We initially missed it while driving past because it was a small establishment, but the owners kindly provided directions when we called. The food was decent overall, with the sansrival being a standout. My dad enjoyed his brewed coffee, although the latte or mocha I ordered was too milky and lacked a strong coffee flavor. It would be great if they could improve their coffee drinks. However, the other dishes we tried were satisfying.

Fresh from a wedding reception, we tried to grab some steaming hot of coffee and pastries on the way home. From Marikina, we traversed through the roads of Antipolo searching for the perfect spot. The thought of Abuelita's came to mind after a few failed attempts a few months back. At last we found the place. A bit obscured, perharps the reason why missed it the previous times. The place is so homey. We immediately took our seats and ordered for Cafe Americano (they serve UCC coffee) and Sans Rival and Brazo de Mercedes. The coffee is just right (only 50 pesos per cup) but the Brazo de Mercedes (also, 50 pesos per slice) is so yummy. It's not that sweet and is just perfect for coffee. Sans Rival for me is the best as it reminded me of the ones being served in a famous Kapampangan Restaurant in QC (they no longer sell that now). It actually evoked some fond memories and for me, that was just great. We were so happy, I even ordered for those yummy treats to take home to my kids plus a pack of their mini ensaymadas (also 50 pesos). The owner is very accommodating and asked us to try their meals (callos and paella) next time. He was so friendly and made us feel so at home. This is one good find in the hills. Totally unpretentious and will not disappoint. Plus points for not being expensive. We will be back for sure!
