Panethnic Pourovers

I love the positive vibes and colors as well as the all welcoming aura at Pepo! Stepped into this cozy non-profit cafe and well curated library yesterday for the first time. Emily was a sweetheart. We had some amazing conversations that kept her at work a bit longer. Apologies, Emily. I devoured the pork siopao and white peach tea before I took any photos. Thank you for the sweet treats, too! Let’s say it won’t be my last time here. 😉. Street parking was easy around the corner.

It's a nice cozy hangout spot. As a business they have good community goals, free wifi, and a library of Asian related books (including manga). There's a decent menu selection of snacks. I definitely recommend the drinks (careful the lids aren't that tight so be cautious of spillage) they serve the MemTea brand of teas, but also serve things such as Vietnamese coffee, Thai iced tea, mango juice, hot chocolate and more. For food, I definitely love that they have pride bagels as the staple bagel. You can also get the sandwiches made on a pandesal instead if you wish. They also serve siopao, lumpia, and castella/Swiss rolls. Personally my favorite drink is the London fog, but if you have time. Let them take the extra time for steaming and steeping the tea for a really deep flavor. And for mix ins, they have a extensive list of dairy alternatives as well as plentiful options for sweeteners. There is also ube, and panda syrups to add extra flavor if that's your jam. Overall I would come back frequently because the prices are reasonable (if anything they're alot cheaper than other local options)

Rainbow bagels and drinks were amazing, but Connie’s customer service really made our visit. She sat with us for over 30 minutes giving recommendations for food and experiences in the area. You can’t get service like this at chain coffee shops and not to mention the prices are so affordable!

This place is really creative, informative and welcoming. I can tell it’s a community space. I got an earl grey latte and a spam sandwich with kimchi. So yummy! Thank you for sharing your space!

This neighborhood desperately needs a cafe, especially with this kind of mission. It’s a good location that could be a cornerstone of the community, however they’re only open ~12 hours over three days per week. They started out strong but, inconsistent hours, programs often abandoned, not worth planning around imo

Love the mission! The coffee is great and the staff is very welcoming. FYI that there are steps by the door to get into the building so not wheelchair accessible

went for an event and it was a cute place!! definitely will be back; loved getting to meet the owners + have some lumpia!

Very cute space with great coffee and tea for a good price! And their mission is top notch.
