Let’s be real, other than the occasional and planned trips with family or friends, the only reason we go out these days are for errands, specifically those that cannot be simply done online. On your next errand day, you might as well take a detour or extra drive down south and discover this mall cafe in Laguna.
Hiraya Manawari Cafe
Kids of the 90s, you might remember Hiraya Manawari as one of the popular educational programs by ABS CBN from your childhood. While the show with the iconic theme song ended nearly two decades ago, this cafe in Laguna of the same name might be your next favorite.
