"the ube butter is like crack" — order the pandesal
James Beard Emerging Leadership award 2022
Cafe hours: work-friendly with free wifi Tue-Fri

A worker-owned cooperative where the kitchen crew cooks comfort food from their heritage: Filipino lumpia, Moroccan kefta, Mexican breakfast tacos. Don't skip the ube butter with pandesal, it's the stuff of obsession. The pay-what-you-can model and cafe hours make it a true community living room.

They recommend it:
