A café. A living studio.
what to expect
a small, thoughtful menu of food and coffee rooted in french and filipino flavour.
workshops and creative sessions across the two weeks — intimate, tactile and open to all. and throughout it all, Mesa Collections pieces in the wild, tablescapes and homewares living exactly as they were meant to: on a table, in use, among people, and Racine limited condiments to please your senses.
a shared table.
for two weeks, Mesa Collections and Racine invite you into KAFÉ — a residency where café culture becomes something slower, richer and more intentional.
rooted in the shared rituals of french and filipino hospitality, KAFÉ is built around a simple belief: that coffee is more than a drink. it carries memory. it carries comfort. It carries a sense of home.
the space
by day, KAFÉ operates as a café — a warm, considered space with a small menu inspired by the flavours that sit at the meeting point of french and filipino cooking. familiar. nostalgic. deeply personal.
as the light shifts, the space transforms. evenings and weekends become a home for intimate workshops and creative activations — moments to gather, to make, and to participate in the quiet art of hosting.
