What people say

The_kapihan is a coffee shop that offers a unique interpretation of the modern-day Kapihan. The story behind the shop is heartwarming, as it was inspired by the owners' Lolo Ruperto's love for barako coffee and pandesal. The rotating selection of specialty micro-lot coffee is brewed to perfection in a cast iron pot, just like how Lolo Ruperto used to do it. The aroma of the coffee can be smelled from across the road, making it an irresistible treat for any coffee lover.

The owners' journey of discovery led them to some of the best artisanal producers around the Philippines, where they learned about traditional baking techniques from scratch. After years of practice, they are now proud to be part of the wonderful community in Battersea, serving fine flavors from over 7,000 islands.

The family-run business founded by two brothers David & Nigel Motley, their sister Rosemary and Davidโ€™s wife Plams has become a hidden gem tucked away in a little corner on Battersea Park Road. It's a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of delicious coffee while catching up with friends or reading your favorite book. If you're looking for an authentic and heartwarming experience with great coffee and baked goods, then the_kapihan is definitely worth checking out!
