New lifestyle hub to open in Valenzuela

A new lifestyle hub is about to unveil in Valenzuela City, a 1,500 sqm. one-stop shop named Brews and Babes Bistro.

Strategically located at 570 McArthur Highway in Malanday, Valenzuela, the establishment is meticulously designed to cater to an eclectic mix of lifestyle needs. 

In an earlier interview with the members of the media, Ma. Cristina Razote-Santos, the visionary founder of Brews and Babes Bistro, said the new lifestyle hub features a diverse array of amenities, including but not limited to a bistro, a modern barber shop, a chic nail salon, soothing massage services, and a trendy rooftop bar — all under one roof.

However, this venue’s multifaceted nature makes it a unique addition to the local scene because it seeks to provide something for everyone.

Although some may find the concept ambitious, carefully curating services suggests a thoughtful approach to contemporary lifestyle trends.

Brews and Babes Bistro strives to create a complete lifestyle destination — thoughtfully designed to meet various needs and preferences. 

Among its diverse offerings, the state-of-the-art barber shop offers high-quality grooming services, catering to those looking for stylish cuts and detailed grooming. The nail salon provides a luxurious experience, featuring an extensive selection of manicure and pedicure options — from classic designs to the latest trends — ensuring a pampering experience for every guest. 

Meanwhile, a peaceful massage area is dedicated to helping guests unwind because it offers various therapeutic choices to rejuvenate both body and mind. 

Razote-Santos stressed that the concept revolves around creating a sanctuary where individuals can engage in self-care, connect with others, and embrace a lifestyle centered on wellness and enjoyment.

Still, the unique space stands out in the community, attracting many who seek a balance between relaxation and socialization. Although some may think such places are just for pampering, Brews, and Babes Bistro goes beyond that.

“This destination aspires to be (the) perfect place to satisfy all your leisure and lifestyle needs, offering many services that align with our customers’ health and happiness. However, one must consider the evolving nature of such establishments because they must continually adapt to meet the dynamic preferences of their clientele. Although this is important, change can be overwhelming. In the end, it’s essential for success,” she said.

Within the establishment, which is ready for a soft opening this month, lies an enticing coffee shop that primarily features 80 percent Arabica coffee.

The carefully selected coffee blend aims to resonate with the discerning tastes of coffee lovers; however, it also appeals to motorcycle enthusiasts who may frequent the area.  

The coffee shop boasts a vibrant, industrial-chic interior with accents and fixtures. This inviting aesthetic is designed to attract a diverse clientele seeking a place to relax and unwind while enjoying an ambiance that embodies modern urban living. 

At the helm of the coffee shop is a skilled barista with an impressive 30 years of experience in the coffee industry.

The expert will be dedicated to crafting consistently exceptional coffee, ensuring every cup is a delightful experience. The barista will also engage with customers, fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that invites patrons to revel in the artistry of coffee brewing. To complement coffee offerings, a talented pastry chef from a renowned restaurant will present exquisite and innovative pastries, elevating the overall dining experience and satisfying guests’ sweet cravings.

Razote-Santos strongly highlighted the importance of creating a coffee shop that provides a comfy and inviting atmosphere and acts as a key meeting spot for motorcycle lovers. “This venue would fit diverse motorcycle groups,” Razote-Santos said, giving them a place to meet before heading out on their adventures.

Razote-Santos expressed her excitement about the potential to expand their business beyond the borders of Metro Manila, however, she sees numerous opportunities on the horizon to reach new markets, bring their unique concept to more communities, and contribute to the growing lifestyle scene in the region.
