While El Union draws inspiration from the laid-back, surf-town vibes of La Union\u2019s beaches, Del Union takes its cues from the bold and timeless aesthetics of the 70s and 80s. With its orange retro interiors paired with brutalist elements, this neighborhood cafe offers a unique ambiance that sets it apart from the traditional coffee shop.<\/p>\n

At Del Union, the focus remains on serving specialty coffee with a particular emphasis on local origins. The cafe is best known for its signature drinks, particularly the Dirty Orxata, a fan favorite that draws in coffee aficionados and casual drinkers alike.<\/p>\n

The fast and efficient service ensures that every customer is treated to freshly brewed coffee in under two minutes, thanks to their innovative kegging system. This commitment to speed and quality is part of the cafe\u2019s drive to offer both convenience and exceptional taste.<\/p>\n

But Del Union is more than just a coffee shop. The food, developed by Chef EJ Lagman of Makan Eliseos<\/strong>, adds another layer of delight to the experience. Offering rice bowls, sandwiches, and an array of desserts, Del Union serves meals that pair perfectly with their coffee, catering to every craving throughout the day.<\/p>\n

What sets their food apart is the use of high-quality ingredients and thoughtful cooking, all offered at an accessible price point. It\u2019s a place where great coffee and good food come together in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n

For their recommended dishes, try their version of the classic BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato)<\/strong> sandwich featuring\u00a0housemade bayabas smoked bacon, romaine lettuce, salad tomato, soy egg aioli, and focaccia.<\/p>\n

For their drinks, you should never miss their Dirty Orxata<\/strong>, a sweet and refreshing drink that is an upgrade from the normal horchata drinks you know. It is made with their own toasted rice tea, nitro-infused whole milk, a fresh shot of espresso, and topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon.<\/p>\n

If you wish to try a classic, order their White<\/strong> drinks. They can serve you any coffee with milk in the way you like it: latte, cappuccino, cortado, flat white. They use nitro milk which gives the coffees a richer and nicer mouthfeel.<\/p>\n
