Mr. Evans decided to open a cafe in Manila to address the demand of their foreign patrons who are either based in the Philippines or a frequent visitor of the country.<\/p>\n

The cafe takes inspiration from the Antipodes, which is most apparent in their interiors. Although, they did\u00a0add a few Filipino touches here and there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The touches of red are inspired by the color of freshly harvested coffee beans, while the color black is from New Zealand\u2019s National Rugby team, the All Blacks. The touches of brown,\u00a0on the other\u00a0hand, are, of course, from the color of coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n
