SIBLINGS Nico and Jessica Santiago have a mission: Bring the northern food and pop culture crazes to the south.
And the duo, with the help and support of their parents, has accomplished just that after establishing two book cafés on their turf, the first in Cavite, and, just recently, in SM Southmall in Las Piñas.
“It was a chance to give what we knew the south wanted,” Jessica said. “Not just the food but the indie scene—we wanted to bring what’s monopolized up north down south.”
The southern café prides itself with a menu dominated by Filipino and Southeast Asian fusion dishes. Offering casual dining, it presents comfort food favorites with some ingenious, if not local, twists.
And in a space full of art, books and good food—which doubles as a venue for expression and exploration for creatives—what is there not to love?
