If you’re looking for an easy holiday hangout, CV Strip in Quezon City is a good bet. Relaxed cafés, good food, a few new places worth checking out, and just enough happening around the strip to make a short visit feel worth it — whether you’re dropping in for a quick coffee, an early dinner, last-minute gifts, or simply a small break from the usual holiday buzz.
CV Strip has been adding more cafés, restaurants, new shopping spots, and lifestyle spaces this season, giving visitors simple, convenient options for those December plans you usually slot between gatherings. The mix feels natural — nothing loud, nothing overwhelming — just a handful of places that make the estate an easy choice for a short, nearby visit. As CV’s management puts it, the intention has always been to build “a place where people can easily meet, eat, and unwind — a community spot that feels close to home.”
CV is easily accessible through two main routes: via Calle Industria for those coming from C5 or the Quezon City side, and via the CV Bridge for visitors entering from Pasig. The bridge is open daily from 5 AM to 3 AM, providing guests a straightforward way to move in and out of the estate.
What You’ll Find Around the CV Strip
ToyTown and Playground Premium Store Clearance pop-up
Down on the ground floor, the cafés set the tone. Biyaya Kofi, one of the newest tenants, has a cozy setup perfect for slow brews, board games, or barkada hangouts. The Twelve28th Café offers brunch plates, pastries, and specialty drinks that work for both low-key reunions and remote work breaks. Families also have Taylor’s Play Café, which provides a safe play area for kids while parents enjoy a drink.
For quick gift runs or small finds, the ToyTown Clearance pop-up (open until January 2026) offers up to 70% off toys — an easy stop for budget-friendly holiday gifting. Nearby, the new Playground Premium Store carries athletic wear and accessories, ideal for visitors gearing up for an active start to the new year.
For holiday meals, CV Strip’s dining mix makes planning easy. Giligan’s Restaurant is a reliable pick for Filipino favorites and barkada dinners, while Liam’s & Louis Gourmet Café works well for family gatherings or cozy brunches. Adding to the variety is the newest opening: Viandé, which offers premium dishes from breakfast at 7 AM to late-night sets around 10 PM — ideal for anything from relaxed mornings to refined evenings. And for something casual after work, Chilltop keeps the mood light.
Beyond dining, there are small corners for little resets. Barkin’s Blends Dog Café is a warm stop for fur parents, while My Studio & Allways Therapy — set to open around mid-December — will offer neurodiversity-affirming support and therapeutic services for families in need of a quiet breather. They will also feature a studio space for portrait rentals, making it a great pick for holiday family photoshoots or quick festive portraits. Visitors preparing for gatherings can also drop by Guapo’s Barbers for convenient pre-event grooming.
