‼️EW COFFEE ALERT‼️

Introducing Myanmar Shan State Ying Yang Natural, brought to you by our new coffee partners from Bangkok, three dots coffee !

This specialty-grade Catuai, Caturra coffee is grown in the Shan State’s highlands at 1200-1400 MASL, bordering China, Laos, and Thailand. It was processed anaerobically at two different temperatures, known as Ying Yang Natural. After roasting it medium-light roast, you can taste how the Ying Yang process elevated the coffee’s tropical fruit and sweet flavors and added complex notes of grapes and wine.

Don’t miss out, Homies! Available from Thursday, June 18. It will also be on the cupping table this Sunday, June 21, during Town Cupping.

Cheers!

Chef Trisha ♡ shows us how to make a batch of our Pain Au Chocolat. Hours of laminating, folding, resting, baking, and plenty of patience to create those signature buttery, flaky layers.

Filled with Auro Chocolate® Official batons made from Davao-grown cacao, every bite brings floral aromas, bright fruit notes, and rich chocolate flavor. ✨🥐🍫

Freshly baked and available daily at our Subic Bay branch!

Nicole is back with another brewing recipe video, this time featuring one of the best Philippine coffees in our books, ’s Philippine Bukidnon Sitio San Roque 🇵🇭

This year’s lot is an Ethiopian Landrace “Sweet,” a coffee we’ve been hoping to get our hands on for years. After patiently waiting in line season after season, we’re incredibly grateful to finally secure a bag of this special harvest. 🥹

🟡 Jackfruit

Feel free to use this recipe as a starting point, but we encourage you to experiment, taste, and make it your own. Great coffee is all about discovering what you enjoy most in the cup.

Going, going… grab the Matcha Lychee Soda before it’s gone forever! 🍵✨🫧

We’re just a couple of weeks away from refreshing our matcha menu lineup, and unfortunately, due to supply challenges, our crowd-favorite Matcha Lychee Soda will be leaving the menu. 🥹

This sweet, floral, and refreshingly grassy drink had had an amazing run, and we’re grateful for all the love, Homies! We hope to bring it back someday. 🙏🏼

We’d love to hear from you. What Matcha Soda flavor should we create next? 🤔

Hey, Homies! Meet Homer, our sourdough starter and one of the hardest-working members of the team. 🍞

A healthy sourdough starter is what gives sourdough its depth of flavor, beautiful texture, and that gentle sournesses.

Great sourdough takes time, care, and consistency, and Homer has been quietly doing his part to make our Eggs & Toast a crowd favorite.

Now we’re curious, what dish would you like to see us make with Homer next? 👀
