The Fabulous La Marea

brownie cup la marea

There is something in La Marea (I.T. Park or Crossroads) that those with a sweet tooth will love – the Brownie Cup! La Marea’s Brownie Cup is a highly recommended dessert.

Caffeinated drinks at La Marea are okay and reasonably priced but nothing to jump up and down for.

La Marea is a great place to hang out with friends and family. Great interiors too! Check out the Pakalistas’ post on La Marea at their food blog.
