Does this directory publish opening hours for every shop?
No, and that is a deliberate choice rather than a gap we have not gotten around to filling. Small, independently run shops change their hours often, for holidays, staffing, weather, or just an owner's own schedule, and a specific time we printed here could easily be wrong within weeks. Rather than publish a number likely to go stale, we point you to each shop's own social media page, which is generally the freshest source, and it is linked directly from every shop's page on this site.
Are Marikina coffee shops generally open on Sundays?
Most independent shops we have researched do operate on Sundays, small, owner-run Philippine cafes commonly treat Sunday as a regular, sometimes even busier, business day rather than a default closure, unlike some office-district shops elsewhere in Metro Manila that lean on weekday foot traffic specifically. That said, this varies shop to shop, and a small number of shops in our research (like Riverfolk Cafe, closed Tuesdays specifically) do have a fixed weekly closure day, just not necessarily Sunday.
What about holidays specifically?
Holiday hours are exactly where a specialty small shop is most likely to deviate from its normal schedule, some close entirely for major holidays like Christmas or New Year's, others stay open specifically because foot traffic is high when people are off work and looking for somewhere to go. This is genuinely unpredictable enough across dozens of independently run businesses that checking directly, a shop's Facebook page will almost always have a recent post about holiday hours close to the date, is the only reliable method.
If a shop's hours aren't posted anywhere, what should I do?
A direct message through the shop's Facebook or Instagram page is the most reliable fallback, small shop owners in Marikina are generally responsive to a quick, polite question, especially compared to trying to call a phone number that may not be actively monitored. It is also reasonable to simply go and check in person if the shop is genuinely close by, small independent cafes are far more likely to just be temporarily closed for a specific day than permanently shut, though it is fair to have a backup plan in case you have made the trip for nothing. PhilSTAR Life usually notes hours in its write-ups of newer Marikina cafes, which is a useful secondary source when a shop's own page is quiet.
