Cafe Dozo

Cafe Dozo, a Japanese restaurant and caf� located along Circumferential Road in Antipolo, has been in operation for a few months. We didn’t get to try it until about a month ago when no one wanted to cook lunch on a Sunday and my husband volunteered to buy packed lunches from Caf� Dozo. For take out meals, we were pretty impressed especially since the suburban town of Antipolo is not known for restaurants offering foreign cuisines. We’re mostly limited with carinderias here with a few exceptions like Vieux Chalet. We figured that if the take out packed lunches weren’t bad at all, ordering a la carte must be even better.

May is the month to visit Antipolo. There’s always a fiesta-like atmosphere here in May, the month when devotees flock to the Cathedral, home to the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Nuestra Senora de la paz Y Buenviaje). If you’re among the multitudes that visit Antipolo in May and you want to sample the food at Caf� Dozo, just take the Circumferential Road. Whether you’re coming via Ortigas Avenue or Sumulong Highway, you’ll end up in Circumferential Road anyway. Just go straight (you will cross a very busy intersection with traffic lights) until you reach a small rotunda. Towards the left you’ll see Max’s Restaurant; on your right is Caf� Dozo beside a Red Ribbon cake shop.
