    Marikina & Antipolo Food Crawl: Sega Cofi

    Our fourth stop was this little cafe called Sega Cofi on a busier street in San Roque, Antipolo. I’m sorry, I am not familiar with the roads in Antipolo and I would be lost without Waze. I just know it was a busy street. Sega Cofi is small, but cozy, and it’s located near car shops.…
