9 years in the coffee business doesn't stop us from going down another R&D rabbit hole. Hello, matcha. 🥹✌️ We’ve been trying and comparing different grades of ceremonial matcha, and probably having more matcha than we should (not that we’re complaining). Because we know matcha people can be very…

We showed you how to find us at SM North. Now, here’s what you get when you finally make it here. Swear, you didn’t go all that way for nothing. Might as well make the trip worth it! Three SM North exclusives are waiting for you: 🥭 Mango Milkwash 🍌 Banana Gin Fizz 🍍 Pineapple Dole Whip And if…

People say comparison is the thief of joy, but uh uh, we love a competition. S'mores🍫 or Starburst! ✨ S’mores has been the resident hopper beans sa bahay ni Kuya, oops, sa Candid stores pala! 😂 But ever since we rolled out Starburst, our lighter take on coffee, proudly Philippine-made, we’ve been…

Treasure hunting is fun, but we know it can get pretty annoying. 😂 (Even foodpanda riders get lost sorry na!) So, here’s how to find us at SM North EDSA from the foodcourt entrance! Save this reel before your next visit para less ikot, and more time to actually chill. Once you find us, don’t miss…

You know those days when you’re craving something sweet but can’t decide what to get? Well, maybe this is it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This has been one of our funnest and simplest drink.

Gusto namin mahirapan. 😆 That's why a supposedly simple "Pumpkin Spice Latte" drink is not so simple to make after all. 🚫 No preservatives ❌ No artificial flavors 👎 No food colorings We make everything in-house, from prepping the pumpkin to grinding our own spices. If we could grow all our…

Maxene’s coffee connoisseur era for a day is HERE. And… kuhang-kuha niya. We brought Starburst to BGC and let her try a few drinks with zero clues, zero tasting notes - just her taste buds doing the work while four people watched every single reaction from behind the camera. 😂 She’s no coffee…

Idk, but we may have gotten too obsessed with this one. Cause watching the Einspanner being made is therapeutic as hell. 😂 The Mango Graham Float of coffee sa dami ng layers, but that cream on top? Perfect. There’s a reason this one ended up as a Makati exclusive. It’s rich, bold, creamy, and I’m…

From one coffee cart in a palengke… to 11 branches and 110 people building Candid every day. 💪💪 It was full of trial and error, hindi siya straight line - after all, it's not everyday an event cart grows into branches. Maraming sablay, takeaways, and a whole lot of people who helped us get here…

Normal people vs influencers #pumpkinspice

Give 13 baristas the same beans, same recipe, same equipment… somehow you still get 13 different cups. 😂 Minsan nakakainis, but that’s also the charm of coffee. The person behind the cup matters. So last week, we let them battle it out. Part competition, part learning, mostly an excuse to nerd out…

We visited Makati and brought a friend along to try our newly dropped Starburst Blend. And guuurl… ikaw ba nagtimpla ng drinks? Kasi all of the descriptions were ON POINT! From the first sip to the last, Starburst really knows how to make an entrance. Bright, fruity, tropical, and just the right…

Putting the baristas to the test... because making 2,500 cups is NOT for the WEAK. For our 3rd year at the Senate, we decided to see who's actually the fastest behind the bar. We gave the baristas a little speed challenge and, as expected, we weren't joking when we said they take making coffee…

“Salted Caramel” is everyone’s childhood coffee! Parang XO Candy in a cup. 🤎 If you love caramel but don’t like it too sweet, this one’s for you. Our Salted Caramel Latte is rich and buttery, with just enough salt to balance out that nostalgic caramel flavor. Smooth, comforting, and hindi…
