A Space for Local Creators

If you are tired of the cookie-cutter stores in big malls, Maginhawa Art is the perfect weekend tambayan for creative souls. Honestly, it's a refreshing change of pace. The shelves are packed with everything from handmade stickers and cute postcards to acrylic paints and specialty calligraphy brushes. Most of the products are made by local artists, so every purchase actually supports the local art community. So, if you're looking for unique gifts or supplies for your next passion project, you'll definitely find something here.

Getting here can be a bit of a challenge if you don't know the Quezon City jeepney routes. If you're coming from the MRT-3, the easiest way is to get off at GMA-Kamuning Station. From there, walk towards East Avenue and ride a jeepney bound for Fairview or Philcoa. Alight at Philcoa near the Masaya Street terminal, then hop on a tricycle and tell the driver you're heading to Maginhawa. Tricycle drivers know the area like the back of their hand, but they might charge a special rate if you're riding solo. Just a heads up, parking is almost non-existent along Maginhawa Street during peak dining hours. So, taking public transit or a Grab is highly recommended to save yourself from parking drama.

But the effort is totally worth it. The cozy space is perfect for browsing slowly. It gets a bit warm in the afternoon, so maybe schedule your visit after a quick merienda at one of the nearby cafes. The staff is super friendly and always down to chat about the local indie scene.
