Christmas flavors are getting a café makeover at What About Coffee, or WACo, and foodies have plenty of reasons to add these seasonal treats to their must-try lists.

The star of the menu? Bibingka pancakes. Bringing together two breakfast favorites, these fluffy stacks come in three flavors: four-cheese, salted egg and ube cheese. They deliver classic Filipino Christmas tastes in pancake form — a holiday pairing worth waking up for.

CHRISTMANS tastes sweeter with every serving of bibingka.

The beverage lineup also brings a festive twist. The puto bumbong latte adds a caffeine kick to a familiar holiday staple, while the black forest latte and tiramisu latte turn dessert classics into sippable treats. Matcha fans can order the pistachio matcha latte or biscoff matcha latte, pairing earthy tea with nutty and caramelized notes.

For those who prefer a cozier drink, options include the toasted mallows latte and premium hot chocolate. Meanwhile, the cinnamon brown sugar shaken iced latte brings a sweet, spiced kick for patrons who prefer cold coffee.

Available at WACo’s Katipunan, University Hotel and Capitol Hills branches, the seasonal menu offers an excuse for a casual coffee run or a full holiday food crawl.
