Biksa!
Filipinos have grown fond of coffee shops. It has become the young generation’s hangout and EB place. Professionals likewise patronize these places; making coffee shops a convenient venue for short business 
meetings. Some people go for the ambiance and the coffee, of course. That is why, it’s not surprising anymore to see more and more coffee shops opening everywhere. Like Biska Coffee, a new cafe that has been in business for almost half a year already.
I’ve had the privilege to visit Biksa Coffee a few weeks ago and tried some of their food and beverages. The cafe offers for beverages hot coffee (espresso, cappuccino, Americano, etc.); ice blended coffee (caffee mocha, latte); frappe (brain freeze); smoothies; milkshake; Italian soda; and tea. They also serve food like sandwiches, pizza and pasta.
My friends and I had a long that day and we decided to drop by Biksa Coffee. We had mozzarella pesto sandwich, pasta with tuna carratierre sauce, a margharita pizza, Italian sodas (passion kiwi and passion strawberry), cookies & cream milkshake and cappuccino.

Let me describe how they appealed to my taste bud, starting with the Mozzarella Pesto sandwich, which is my personal choice. As the name suggests, the loaf bread is filled mozzarella cheese and pesto. I chose this dish because I’ve never tried a pesto-filled sandwich and it has cheese. How can I resist cheese? The two main ingredients blended nicely. I’m sure, people who love adding herbs in their food will appreciate this sandwich. The tuna carratierre was very good as well. Adding a little bit more Parmesan cheese increases the creaminess of this sauce. It’s good as it is or you can have it spicy (just add finely ground pepper!). The pizza margharita, well, just like other concoction of this famous pizza flavor, I love the tomatoes! 
Overall, Biksa Coffee is a fine place to hangout. The ambiance is good, very homey and relaxed. Plus, similar to other coffee shops, it also has Wi-fi service. My friend just have a comment on their menu card: the presentation’s a little plain. And I agree. They should try making it more attractive.
Biksa Coffee is located at #18 Gil Fernando Ave. cor. Dragon St., Marikina City; just a few minutes away from Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall.
