Burrow Cafe is inside a gated subdivision but its exact location at Antipolo Beehouse is a hill surrounded by a forest. Cafe-goers need to take a short walk on a cemented path downhill and then through a tunnel down to the cafe.

The cafe keeps its design au naturale to blend with its surroundings, with cement and red brick walls and wood accents.
Providing contrast to its rustic interiors, the chairs and tables are elegantly made with wrought iron. There are also colorful hammocks in the dining area where you can lounge as you digest your food.
Burrow Cafe’s floor-to-ceiling windows give you a great view of the area’s rich flora even if you are seated inside. The place’s flowy, white curtains also add to the enchanting feel of the cafe.
