Hey TGC community, since the day we first opened our Sheridan branch, we have always loved and nurtured the stray cats in the neighborhood. They’ve become part of our everyday story—quiet companions who remind us of the importance of kindness in small, consistent ways.

We recently found three new cats in need of care and a loving home, and we’re reaching out to this beautiful community because we believe love grows when it’s shared. 💛

If you or someone you know is willing to adopt, foster, or help support their care, please send us a message. Even sharing this post helps. At TGC, our love doesn’t stop with coffee—it extends to people, communities, and the animals who share our streets and spaces with us.

Thank you for helping us give these little ones a chance at a safe, warm, and loving home. 🐾✨

🩵 From Our Roots to the World — SOLD OUT! 🩵

At the Coffee Dessert Fair in COEX MAGOK Lewest, Seoul, our proudly Philippine-grown Liberica lots were met with overwhelming love—completely sold out and celebrated by coffee lovers who couldn’t get enough. ☕🌍

This isn’t just a win for The Giving Cafe—it’s a victory for Filipino coffee, for the farmers who grow with heart, and for a legacy rooted in generosity and purpose.

To everyone who tasted, shared, and believed—thank you. You’ve helped carry our story far beyond our shores.
