Growing up in the metro, I got used to places where I can hang-out with my friends so relocating to Sta. Rosa, I foresee a boring life in Laguna. But when we finally moved…tada! Paseo de Sta. Rosa was my relief! It was just like in the Eastwood Citywalk or in Blue Wave Strip. The ambiance and architecture feels the same and has a central activity area for concerts and other events. Paseo is under Greenfield Development Corporation and this is their prime icon of commercial and lifestyle center in Sta. Rosa.

Why wouldn’t I like this place? A place to have a cup of coffee, to relax, to eat and to party with friends. Notable restaurants and Coffee shops here are Starbucks, Cafe Breton, Brother’s Burger, Yellow Cab, Shakey’s, Razon’s, Pancake House and Kanin Club, which is a blockbuster. Fast food chains like Jollibee, Chowking and Greenwich are also available here. At night time, The Promenade is alive with music events at the outdoor bar & restaurants. You can choose from El Simon, Spirits and Sitio Bar or at Adelaida. You can go around the place to see other bars like Guily’s island. Aside from the gimikan and the restos, great bargains await you. Outlet stores are here, like, Crocs, All Flip Flops, Levi’s, Sports Hub, United Colors of Benetton, Sisley, Gas, Speedo, Adidas, Nike,etc. With the constant 50% discount on items, you’ll find it hard not to buy something. You'd definitely Looovvee to look around and shop!

They are currently expanding their business to a more upgraded version on phase 4.There are also new flavors coming up: Sugarhouse and my favorite TOSH (The Old Spaghetti House). Plus, high-end outlet stores of Marks and Spencer and DEBENHAMS will also be joining the pack.


If you’re from Manila, it is 1 1/2 hour travel without traffic. You can ride JAM or BBL Bus from Buendia going to Balibago or GT express in SM Makati or Starmall Shaw Blvd. You can go there riding a tricycle after the Santa Rosa exit or by jeep in Balibago Complex going to Tagaytay which will take 15-20 mins. If you have a car, drive through South Luzon Expressway and take Santa Rosa Exit which is after the Caltex Gas Station-Mamplasan. After the exit turn right and go straight, you’ll pass by Laguna Bel-Air and closely you’ll see Caltex station on your right and across that is PASEO DE STA. ROSA. If you’re planning to go here, ready yourselves and your pockets for you will never know what you will be bringing home with you.

If you’re driving to or from Tagaytay, here’s a good stop for you. ^_*V
