This was us three years ago. A folding table, a dream, and no idea what we were doing. We still can't believe it.
But honestly, this isn't really about us. It's about the people.
1. Jo was our very first customer. She helped us get into Facebook groups when we had no idea what we were doing. She believed in us before we even believed in ourselves. She stopped coming in after she got pregnant. We think about her every now and then, her and her little one. We hope they're doing well.
2. J was a neighbor who was with us from the very beginning. Caramel Macchiato, always. We could start making it the moment we saw her walking up. Then she moved to Cebu. We didn't get to say a proper goodbye and we still feel that.
3. M came in one afternoon and bought gift cards in advance so her boyfriend could use them whenever he wanted. We waited for him to come in. He never did. Neither did she. Hope she's okay.
4. T and L asked if we did wedding coffee carts back when we were still figuring everything out. We didn't. They got married anyway and they still come back. Same smiles, different order. That one always makes us happy.
5. G and D used to order delivery. Now they walk in with their parents.
6. There were students who gave fake names every single visit just to mess with us. We played along every time without fail.
7. C told her whole team from Apo to try our cafe. Matcha was her favorite. Always.
8. And there was a guy from BFP Minglanilla/Talisay who came in on a slow morning and ended up staying for 3 hours. Just talking. No agenda, nowhere to be.
We could keep going. There are so many more of you.
We still remember your faces. Your orders. The small things you probably don't even know we noticed, but we did. We always did.
Three years of that. Three years of people walking through our door and leaving a little piece of themselves behind. We didn't build this alone. Not even close.
To every Spark, past, present, and everyone still on their way, thank you. We're still here, and we can't wait to make your coffee. ☕🤍
