Some people walk into your doors as customers and before you know it, they leave behind a mark that stays with you. At first, it’s just coffee and a familiar seat. But as days turn into months, you begin to notice more. Their routines, their laughter, the way they’re quietly growing right in front of you.
One of our regulars first came here as a college student, curious and young. It wasn’t so long ago. And just recently, she walked back in wearing her white uniform, on her way to med school. We couldn’t help but feel proud, and maybe, a little teary eyed, watching her step into something bigger.
She isn’t the only one.
In our little corner, we’ve seen people fall in love, break up, get back together again (im not naming names 👀), get married, become friends, buy new bikes, buy new bike parts (…sometimes all at the same time 👀), get into new hobbies, or go through the highs, the lows, and the everyday in between.
And for all of them, no matter how far life takes them, there will always be a warm seat and a familiar cup waiting here. 🍃
Been playing around with DaVinci Resolve these past weeks and decided to use our little shop as my practice canvas. Each clip ended up with a different color grade (lol), but it’s fun seeing the shop in all these moods.
Still learning, but it’s nice to capture the same space in different lights. What do y’all think? 🤔

It’s a beautiful thing watching something grow. If you’ve been coming to Wicked Coffee for a while, you’ve probably seen it happen firsthand. You might remember when we had fewer seats and smaller tables, and how the shop coexisted with a 15-year-old Pajero, which was just as much a part of the shop’s charm as the coffee. Those were the days when we’d squeeze in, make the most of the space, and somehow fit it all in.
But as more of you began to find us, as more of you began to fill our space, we realized our little community was growing. And we found ourselves growing alongside you-adding bigger tables, more comfortable spots to sit in, and more room for ideas to flow. Every change came from a desire to make things better for the next person who walked in, to keep up with this beautiful community you’ve helped create.
And we’re not stopping here. This shop is still evolving, still finding its way to what it might become. We’ve got more surprises up our sleeves, more warmth to share, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
Whether you’re a longtime regular or just curious to check it out, come by, grab a cup, and make yourself at home. We’re just getting started, and we’d love to have you along for the ride. 🍃
been seeing this cafe on my timeline for YEARS and finally had the the time to visit
⛺️Wicked Coffee @_wickedcoffeeph
both drinks were so good!! Space is quaint but has a nice homey vibe + books and games in house. Since its a neighborhood cafe, a lot of the people who came in were regulars and knew the barista, giving it a much comfier vibe
4/5
🌟wicked americano - their most popular drink on ig, its very good but i think its really how pretty the drink is which makes it their bestseller out of the others
🌟 apple of my pie - so good!!! Looks unassuming compared to the wicked americano but i enjoyed this one more 😋
they had so many more drinks i wanted to try but i’ve been watching my caffeine intake 😆

Experimenting with our anniversary beans using @codale.workshop ’s Blooming Dripper.
Still tweaking the recipe — because brewing is all about finding the cup that works best for the coffee. ☕
Thanks @codale.workshop for sending this dripper our way. 🙌🏼
——
Our anniversary beans are still available per bag or brewed by the cup. If you’re curious how it tastes, swing by the shop and ask our baristas — or take a bag home and dial in your own recipe. 👋
The anniversary shirts are here ☕🍄
ALSO big thank you again to everyone who celebrated with us last month. It was really nice to see so many of you in our space!
We hope you enjoyed the little surprises, the bar takeovers, and everything we prepared for the celebration. 🥳
——
For those who pre-ordered, your shirts are ready for pickup at the shop. Just let our baristas know when you swing by.
And if you missed the pre-orders, good news 🙌🏼 we still have a few shirts available in-store. Feel free to ask the barista to check what sizes are left.
Ty for celebrating with us. We’re really grateful for this little community!!
Thought the anniversary surprises were over?
Cute.
Catch @slowboidoi of @kugislowbar (Davao) behind the bar, serving matcha the way only he can. If you love matcha… this is your sign. If you don’t love matcha yet… this might convert you 👀
Come through before we drink everything ourselves!!
