Taguan Cafe

Taguan Cafe Taguan Cafe is a breakfast and brunch establishment that celebrates Filipino cuisine while incorporating modern flavors. Known for its commitment to authenticity, the cafe takes pride in crafting its own ube jam, which is a staple ingredient in many of their beverages. Among their offerings, the Ube Latte stands out as a classic choice, while the Oat Ube provides a vegan alternative without sacrificing creaminess. A unique creation at Taguan is the Ube Pistachio Latte, which combines house-made ube milk with a delicate pistachio cold foam and crushed crystallized pistachios, resulting in an earthy and nutty flavor profile that harmonizes beautifully with the ube. This blend showcases how contemporary ingredients can complement traditional flavors.

When other people use Semisonic's Closing Time, Filipinos grew up with this. 😭

Big thanks to our DJ for ending the night with the most Filipino way possible by triggering a collective core memory and politely telling everyone it's time to go home. 😂

Thank you as well to everyone who joined us for the Savior community night. We laughed, shared stories, connected with old and new friends, and celebrated Savior by , a piece of work that was unapologetically Filipino and creatively world-class.

Now please proceed to the nearest exit. The cafe is closing. 🥹😂

Soft bread has a way of slowing people down.

Maybe it's the warmth. Maybe it's the smell coming out of the oven. Maybe it's the simple joy of tearing into something freshly baked before you've even properly sat down.

Our Ube Cheese Rolls are baked fresh every morning with housemade ube jam, cheddar cheese, and a generous dusting of milk powder.

They're meant for sharing, but we fully support keeping both pieces to yourself. Simple things, done with care. Sometimes that's all you need. 💜

One of the things we love most about building Taguan is getting to meet people whose stories slowly become part of the space too.

Today, that person is one of our chefs, Taguan's very own

Most days you’ll find him somewhere between the kitchen rush, experimenting with food ideas, plating something, making Adobos and Tocinos, or singing in the kitchen a little too loudly in the middle of service.

A lot of the food and energy people experience in Taguan quietly carries pieces of him too.

But outside the café, Ahrvin is also an international student balancing work, studies, homesickness away from his baby dog, responsibilities, and the strange experience of growing up far away from home and somehow through all of that, he still manages to care deeply for the people around him.

Happy birthday, chef. We labyu mwa. 🫶😂

Recently we joined the Ube Bloc Party at and one of the things we brought with us was something one of our chefs pioneered and developed with the team - our Pork Adobo Onigiri. 💜

Pork adobo wrapped in rice, topped with our creamy Tatay’s Adobo sauce and finished with ube furikake for that little Taguan touch.

Taguan started as a home for us. A place built around the comfort, flavours, and stories we grew up with. But over time, we’ve become really happy seeing that home slowly grow beyond just us.

And somehow this onigiri feels a little like that too. Familiar, collaborative, slightly unexpected, but still comforting at its core.

This was a special menu item for the event so we won’t be serving it regularly in the café, but we might be open to catering and special events in the future. 😉

Some events feel like heavy work while some events just feel like a party with friends. This one was definitely the latter.

When invited us to join the Ube Bloc Party at , we honestly weren’t sure at first. We don’t really do market pop-ups as Taguan. We’ve done events before representing a different brand, but Taguan has always felt more tied to a space, a table, a home.

Also realistically speaking… we didn’t really have the equipment, systems, or operational plan for it. 😂 So we kind of just took pieces of the café with us and hoped for the best. The food, the people, the energy, the chaos. Somehow it worked?

Mostly because we knew we’d be surrounded by people we genuinely love and consider friends and family here. And thankfully, we weren’t wrong. The whole day just felt easy in the best way possible. Amazing people everywhere, familiar faces from the community randomly appearing, people reconnecting over food, music playing in the background, everyone slightly chaotic but happy.

At some point it stopped feeling like a pop-up and just felt like a family gathering. Feeling at home, wherever you are.

I think that’s our favourite thing about the community. Sometimes you build something thinking you’re just serving food, then one day you look around and realise people are building the space with you too.

Really grateful to Ken and the Sleepy Bloc team for hosting, everyone who came by, ate everyone's food, joined 's run, supported us, or simply spent part of their Sunday with us. Still tired from last Sunday, but our hearts are very full. Thanks po labyu all.

Fly, don’t walk. 🥥☁️

Buko is one of those things many of us grew up with back home. Cold coconut juice on hot afternoons, buko pandan during birthdays and celebrations, roadside stops with freshly opened coconuts by Manong after long drives.

Introducing our Buko Pandan Cloud. A refreshing iced coconut water topped with pandan cold foam and finished with roasted coconut for that extra little touch. Available today in Taguán!

Basically buko pandan in drink form. 😌💚

Yoob… we mean Ube season is officially getting a little louder. 🟣

We’re joining the Ube Bloc Party at for a day of ube, community, music, and a little chaos in the best way possible. We’ll be bringing a few special things with us, including our Pork Adobo Onigiri with ube furikake, alongside some familiar Taguan favourites.

We’re also starting the morning with a quick warm up run with at 7:45am before the food starts rolling out around 9:30ish. 😌

Good food, good people, and a whole lot of purple.
Come hang with us at Sleepy Bloc, or swing by Taguan Darlington! We'll still be open as usual from 8am–3pm for comfort food, coffee, and drinks. See you!

Breakfast and brunch restaurants are the perfect spots to indulge in a delightful culinary experience, offering a unique blend of comfort and creativity. At Taguan Cafe in Redfern, this ethos is beautifully embodied through their innovative menu that celebrates Filipino flavors while embracing modern twists.

One standout offering is the Ube Latte, crafted from house-made ube jam that takes hours to prepare. This deep purple delight is not just a drink; it’s a labor of love that showcases the rich, creamy essence of ube. For those seeking a vegan option, the Oat Ube provides the same comforting taste with an added layer of creaminess.

For adventurous palates, the Ube Pistachio Latte is a must-try. This drink combines earthy notes with nutty undertones, creating a harmonious blend that surprises and delights. The addition of house-made ube milk topped with light pistachio cold foam and crushed crystallized pistachios elevates this beverage into something truly special.

Taguan Cafe not only serves delicious drinks but also captures the heart of Filipino culinary traditions while inviting patrons to explore new flavors. Whether you’re enjoying a classic Ube Latte or venturing into the unique Ube Pistachio creation, each sip at Taguan promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with warmth and creativity.
