In just a few days, the red doors of 528 Ilawod Old Albay will open.
Eleven years ago, when we first opened the doors of our Daraga cafe, our dream was never just to build a coffee shop.
We wanted to build people.
We hoped that the skills they learned with us would one day open bigger opportunities, whether that meant working abroad, pursuing a better career, or even having a cafe they could proudly call their own.
Today, that dream comes full circle.
Two of our team members, Aureen and Elren, are about to open their own 528 Ilawod.
There is something special about seeing people who have grown with us carry the same values, the same commitment to the community, and the same love for coffee into a place they will now lead themselves.
We couldn't be happier or more proud.
This isn't just another branch opening. It's a reminder that success isn't measured only by the cafes we build, but by the people we help grow along the way.
Here's to new beginnings, familiar faces, and another pair of red doors opening to welcome a community.
See you soon, Old Albay. ❤️

Marhay na aldaw mga kapetbahay!
We've noticed a few early birds dropping by before we're officially open.
So we're curious:
Should we open earlier?
If yes, what time would you like us to start serving coffee? Or Current hours are just right
Let us know in the comments. We'd love to hear your thoughts! ❤️

Food safety is not just a requirement, it is a responsibility.
Today, our teams from 528 Ilawod Daraga, SM Legazpi, Old Albay, and SM Sorsogon gathered at 528 Ilawod Daraga for a Food Safety Training conducted by sir Jerdan of DOST Albay.
As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that every drink, every meal, and every experience we serve meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and care.
Thank you to DOST Albay for sharing your expertise and helping strengthen our team's knowledge and practices. Continuous learning is an important part of our commitment to serving our community better every day.

Araw ng Kalayaan 🇵🇭
Ang kalayaan ay hindi lamang paglaya mula sa pananakop.
Ito rin ay kalayaan mula sa korapsyon, pang-aabuso, hindi pagkakapantay-pantay, kawalan ng hustisya, at maling impormasyon. Kalayaang magsabi ng totoo, makamit ang patas na pagtrato, at makabuo ng mas magandang kinabukasan sa pamamagitan ng katapatan at sipag.
Ang tunay na malayang bayan ay yaong pinahahalagahan ang katotohanan, ipinaglalaban ang hustisya, at nagbibigay ng patas na pagkakataon para sa lahat.
Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan! 🇵🇭

Each piece is crafted by hand, making every cup slightly unique, just like the people who use them. Designed for slow mornings, meaningful conversations, and coffee moments worth savoring.
