"Growing out of a successful pop-up tasting room, this brick-and-mortar initially opens as an all-day café offering Filipino pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee from a Filipina roaster, with an upstairs dining room and tasting-menu service to follow. The chef’s background informs an eight-course tasting experience featuring dishes like kinilaw and bibingka, and the program emphasizes recipes from his childhood in the Philippines in collaboration with local restaurateur partners." - ByKate Kassin
