there's Antipolo trip jeep terminal in Cubao near Araneta. On your way walking there you can actually spot some jeepneys reloading near SM you may "para" one with Antipolo SImbahan signboard. It will take you an hour or so to get there.. better if you have your own car.. road trip and dating.

Spacious area on the side of the Antipolo Church

What to buy: Cashew nuts here are fresh. There's free taste! You can go for either the plain or adobo style. There's also suman or sort-of sticky rice. So much delicacies!
