She noted that the venture’s strong brand equity is anchored on assortment of creative menu options from hefty all-day breakfast menu, international comfort food, light meals, and all-time classics.
“This cafe was inspired by the owner’s visit in New York where he saw this kind of concept, where one can choose from variety of coffee, blended beverages, pancakes, waffles, and crepes, as well as generous dishes that can be indulged any time of the day,” she said.
“We added a number of Filipino favorites like our best -sel l i ng Champorado with Tuyo and Filipino Breakfast platter composed of garlic rice, longganisa, scrambled eggs, gourmet tuyo, and season tomato for our customers who crave for familiar flavors,” she added.
