Ambitious Filipino Venture Exits H Street | Eater DC

"Born as a polished prix-fixe concept in the Block food hall and relaunched in 2023 in a leafy H Street space in partnership with Juan and Jeremy Canlas, this all-day cafe became known for vibrant rainbow lattes, Filipino pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and duck adobo; it also spawned an upstairs tasting room in 2024. Facing operational strain running two concepts under one roof and a dissolved partnership, the H Street location will close on June 30 and the owner plans to pause the cafe until a more suitable permanent space is found." - Tierney Plumb
