We tried the cinnamon bun, even the flavour is good but found the bun a bit dry. Tried the coconut biscuit as well which was good, crispy and light, was a nice experience. Staff were nice and polite. The place itself is nice too and the prices are very reasonable
Such a lovely neighbourhood gem! The kind gentleman at the counter gave us a free guava roll to go with our pandan and chocolate roll. It was all so delicious and the drinks were tasty as well! Half price near closing time
I ordered a mocha which was pretty good! I also got the pandan coconut bun (pan de coco), this was alright but I think it was lacking in pandan flavour and a bit dry.
To takeaway I got the chocolate Spanish bread and guava cream cheese. I loved the chocolate Spanish bread, it’s so good heated up. For the guava one I personally couldn’t taste any guava.
The cafe is quite small not really too much seating. Also go early if you want to the the ube pie
Love love this place ! Thank God it's 60 miles away or will be there every single day ! Filipino flavours come through with a Western twist - Longganisa Roll, Apricot Almond Bibingka....Halo Halo stayed true with saba...and the Ube Buko Pie -- honestly sent me back to 90s Laguna where it's famous for their local Buko Pies... can't wait to to back 🥰
Lovely gem of Philipino culture, with Philipino pastries and all-Philipino staff. The coffee was excellent, even the oat milk was very well frothed. I'm a coffee snob and theirs was a delight.
The baristas were warm and friendly and with a great smile. They recommended a traditional cake made of young coconut shreds and coconut milk, which was delicious and reminded me of rice pudding.
Nice art on the walls, with painted scenes of rural Pinoi life. Go check it out!
A great philippine coffee and pastry spot in battersea! They also have coffee beans and local ice-cream on hand! Their ube buko pie is a must try!

Very happy that Kapihan has reopened again but unfortunately the location makes it difficult to get to.
The coffee was really tasty and the longganisa roll and bibingka was so delicious!
Just wish there was more seating!
Wonderful, distinct coffee shop with delicious milk drinks and a unique barako filter coffee. Lovey design and delicious Filipino pastries like bibingka.
- d’original bibingka £2.90
- ube buko pie £4.50
i’d recommend pre-ordering esp if you live far (like me who spent an hour and two buses to get there🥲) bc they can sell out quick! it’s very easy to do tho - just drop them a dm :) now, this was my first time trying a bibingka but i knew i would enjoy it bc it’s made from glutinous rice flour so it has that chewy spongy texture that i adore. taste-wise, it was lightly sweet and coconutty which you just can’t go wrong with!
onto the star of the show… the ube buko pie! firstly, the vibrant purple colour alone will catch anyone’s eye and secondly, just look at those layers of coconut meat🤤 the custardy filling was so heavenly and when paired with the flakey and buttery pastry, it was honestly indescribable. although a small place, i love the design and feel bc it was so homely and cosy - the staff were also lovely and even heated up the baked goods up for me. i am already planning my next trip to try the rest of their items🥹
I've been hoping to visit for some time and it was beyond my expectation! The coffee was one of the best I've ever had in London. The pastry I tried was absolutely delicious, I went later in the day on a weekend so there was only one option available so I'll be sure to go earlier next time. The shop is clean & tidy and its decor is impressive architecturally. The staff are very welcoming, helpful and generous, I can't wait to come back!
Quaint place in Battersea. Bit of a trek getting here from central London but worth hanging out to enjoy some Kape Barako (black coffee) + bibingka pastry. Tried both the original and the taro coconut and the latter is worth getting!
We had a hot chocolate and a Philippine coffee. Both were good.
The pastries were really good!
The Ube one and bibingka were awesome. Fresh and fluffy.
Very nice food and coffee, the ube-coconut pastry was great. Sarap!
Asked about pandesal, they don't have it now but might add it in the future.
I was very excited to find this Filipino-themed café in London and everything about it was amazing. The theme, painting, and decor felt very homey and familiar. There were a lot of classic Filipino-themed food and snacks to choose from. They roast their coffee, and to my surprise, they have "Kapeng Barako" a common Filipino term for the coffee species Coffea Liberica. Normally, I would find the taste of Barako too strong and bitter, but the ones they roasted tasted very sweet and filled with flavor, especially as an espresso. A very clear sign of good quality sourcing and roasting. The baristas were very welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable about their craft.
Overall, I highly recommend visiting this café and you will never regret your experience here.
Trying out the new shop open were the cake shop use to be..
The owner are very friendly, nice, great service thank you
It's been a year since I come here.
I bought pandesal, malunggay and ensaymada also I try there Macha Ice drinks it taste bitter for me maybe I should put sugar on it so I decided to blend it in my home added ice cream and ice make it look like a frappe
P.s if you need coffee and delicious dessert this is it
the bakes are amazing and unique. however the coffee was the highlight. baristas are friendly too! rare find in london✨
