Angkan: Now Brewing Filipino Pride in Araneta City
If you value a good cup of coffee and the deeper stories behind it—Angkan is worth a visit. Their newly opened branch at the Upper Ground Floor of Gateway Mall offers more than just caffeine. It’s a space where Filipino identity, craft, and community come together.
With Independence Day approaching this June 12, the opening feels especially meaningful. It’s a reminder that even in something as everyday as coffee, we can find reflections of who we are as a people—resilient, rooted, and proud of where we come from.
It’s Coffee, But Make It Filipino
What makes Angkan different? They don’t just serve coffee—they champion it. Each brew tells the story of our farmers, of small communities tending to rich, local terroir, and of a craft passed down through generations. Honoring the labor, the land, and the legacy behind each cup.
They also aren’t afraid to experiment. One of their offerings blends espresso with mango—a surprising combo that actually works. It’s a fresh take on local flavor. It’s not about being fancy—it’s about being true to where it all comes from. And that’s something worth supporting.
Merienda, Reimagined
Also, can we talk about the pastries? You’ll find familiar Filipino favorites, but with a bit of flair.
The Ensaymada Balls are soft and buttery, just the way they should be—something you’d happily reach for more than once.
The Mini Classic Trio brings together Pandesal, Monay, and Putok, served with coco and mango jam that adds just the right hint of sweetness. Comfort food, done right.
Perfect for pairing with your coffee or just as a little treat after a long day.
