Why Locals Love La Vernice Cafe in Parang, Marikina, for Its Handcrafted Donuts and Comfort Food


 It might surprise you to learn that La Vernice Café originally comes from Tarlac. Yes, the farthest branch from the main one is the Parang branch, neatly located at P. Lopez St., along Gen. B. G. Molina St., Marikina, 1809, Metro Manila. It’s just across the side of the Parang Barangay hall and at the back of Dada’s Panciteria.

 

The name was taken from the owner’s daughter, Vernice, so it's no surprise that the proprietors are a family of food enthusiasts dedicated to providing delectable, well-crafted dishes and beverages at reasonable prices.

 

The Marikina branch maintains the name's legacy by offering donuts, freshly brewed coffee, and comfort cuisine, all of which are infused with the same warmth and passion. However, this branch operates as a franchise, energized by the vision and drive of young entrepreneurs at the helm.

 


Known for its handcrafted donuts and specialty espresso-based beverages, La Vernice has a well-loved cafe menu that includes baked breads, frappes, sandwiches, and silog meals. Each dish and beverage is prepared from scratch and is influenced by both traditional and contemporary comfort flavors.

 

 

 

Concept and Inspiration:

The cafe offers coffee, handcrafted donuts, pastries, hearty meals, and specialty drinks. This branch, however, added an extra. This photo booth recalls the classic 70s Photo Me, now enhanced with advanced touchscreen technology that offers a wider range of photography effects. The interface is as intuitive as a cellphone app.

 

Interestingly, this hi-tech photo booth can be rented out to interested parties for weddings or any other events. It's 200 for strips, and rental starts at 18,000 for unlimited photos for 3 hours, fully customizable.

Ambiance/Art Inspiration of Restaurant Interior:

La Vernice Café Marikina's design combines soft teal, warm wood, and industrial details to create a modern yet inviting setting. The space is designed for relaxation and socialization, with an open bar and pastry display, as well as comfy seating for working or resting.

The café's signature teal color adds personality and freshness to the space, accentuating the natural warmth of the glass windows and doors.

Prosecutor to Farmer: Respond to Subpoena Now!

With the knowledge that farmers or the masses have no means to get good defense lawyers (except from the Public Attorney's Office or PAO whose officers hardly follow the examples of Attorney General Persida Acosta) fast, if they ever get one at all,  Deputy Provincial Prosecutor James Gerald R. Florendo issued the subpoena below requiring respondent - a farmer from the rural barangays of Santo Domingo in Ilocos Sur, to respond to the accusation of cyber libel, the same day that the farmer received the subpoena delivered by the police in Wednesday, January 7, this tear   The respondent was required to answer the allegations of the town's Municipal Agricultural Officer (MAO) Randy Jose Reburon who filed the case. Apparently, the comment in a social media post "John Park, brother... Please let us help each other... let us make a complain letter . I should be ashamed because the MAO is from our barangay. But there are a lot of complaints. He is ignoring us. he even defies the ...

The Siakol–Repakol–Noel Palomo Feud: A Deep Dive into the Battle for Songs, Rights, and Legacy

  The Filipino rock scene, particularly the '90s era of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) bands, has seen its fair share of controversies, but few have been as drawn-out and emotionally charged as the feud between Siakol, its splinter group Repakol, and former lead vocalist and chief songwriter Noel Palomo. Siakol was formed in the mid-1990s and quickly rose to prominence with their raw, relatable lyrics and catchy melodies. The band was known for its street-smart takes on everyday Filipino life, often delivered with humor and grit. Key hits like “Lakas Tama,” “Gabay,” “Tropa,” “Inuman Na,” and “Bakit Ba Ganyan” cemented their status as a staple in the OPM rock canon. The creative nucleus of Siakol revolved around Noel Palomo, the group's charismatic frontman and principal songwriter. While breakups in bands are not uncommon, what followed was a contentious fallout that continues to reverberate in the OPM community. The most significant point of contention? The continued use ...

Why This Café Is the Next Big Franchise Opportunity for the New Generation

  The name “I Want Cofi” was inspired by a simple, everyday craving—the moment when you want something comforting and familiar. While coffee is at the heart of the brand, I Want Cofi was created to be more than just a coffee shop. “It’s a journey in every cup.”   At first glance, the cafe may appear as a cute dessert spot where you can hang out and relax. Nonetheless, upon closer inspection, IWantCofi Maginhawa operates a single storefront service similar to one of the Philippines' largest fast-food restaurants.   You can order at the counter, scan its QR code, use the automated machines, all of which offer several options for your convenience, or use the QR code on our visual with the IWC Maginhawa logo and address on the lower right of the photo. It's current, trendy, technological, and intuitive!   Definitely, it's a new storefront with character!   IWantCofi Maginhawa is also a fast-food-inspired café enterprise committed to a specific miss...
