1C 🤝 SGT. MAGS

introducing the ✨ NEIGHBOR lamp ✨ — inspired by 1C’s open doors and the simple idea that a neighborhood coffee shop should always feel like home.

this piece is especially meaningful to us as it was created in close collaboration with our kapitolyo neighbor, sgt. mags.

the NEIGHBOR lamp carries that warmth beyond our café walls - a small glow you can bring home, a reminder of shared tables, familiar faces, quiet mornings, and the comfort of having a neighborhood spot that always welcomes you in.

available in plum, green and mustard.

limited quantities available. preorders will open once the first batch is sold out.

1C Coffee (@ditosa1c) is a testament to how far one is willing to move forward despite terrible and unexpected circumstances. While this may seem a quaint spot for cyclists and coffee shop goers, the story of how this shop came about was not easy nor absent from any challenge. After all, founder Abs Tan (@_abstan) had to close two predecessor shops in Ortigas and White Plains due to the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can see then the hesitation to open a third after two “failed” attempts at the industry. And yet, she and her business partners persevered through.

A frequent spot for cyclists who’d utilize the space as a starting point for their journeys, formally changing their username to “Dito sa 1C” after regulars using the phrase when making plans at the meet-up point, 1C Coffee is not just a neighborhood cafe—it serves as an introduction to how welcoming Kapitolyo can be, how the coffee industry remains flexible and warm despite the onset of many more neighborhood cafes, and how, despite traumatic pasts exist, people still choose to make the bold effort to prepare for the worst, but also still hope for the best. And spoiler alert, it seems there are only brighter skies from here on out for this neighborhood spot.

1C Coffee is located at 6 San Francisco St. Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig City.

A little lovely send-off for the things we’ve loved well.

Giving clothing, books, homeware, and treasured finds from our family’s collection one more chance to be useful, meaningful, and loved by someone new. Join us for a curated pop-up, good coffee, and meaningful conversations. ✨

Sustainable living starts with one good find. We made it easy to choose something worth keeping. This Saturday, give cool things a second life.

See you at @ditosa1c on June 6, 2026
9am-6pm ☕️✨

For poetry enthusiasts, beginners, anyone looking for a casual reading community.

We are NOT going to talk about “rules” and “principles” that need to be memorized or quizzed.

Think of it like a fine wine or specialty coffee tasting. An antidote for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by a poem/literature. Let’s talk as a group. Help each other out. Line by line, we’ll try to taste the subtle notes, subtle meanings (and the memories that bubble up!).

Last time we did this, it was truly a guided yap/trauma dumping/passion-sharing session. But zero pressure to talk if you just feel like listening and sipping on your drink.

Poetry deep-dive group reading session: Figures of Speech May 30, 10am-1pm @ditosa1c 1c Coffee Shop Promenade Greenhills branch (inside the Electric Avenue store).

-Limited Slots
-550php/seat
-Inclusive of 200php food/drink voucher

Ready to elevate your Friday night? ✨

We’re officially 3 days away from our first Seed to Sip Manila session! We're bringing the cacao farm straight to the city this Friday, May 22, at 1C Coffee in Greenhills Promenade.

If you want to taste, learn, and try your hand at a full cacao experience (from raw seed to that perfect sip), we still have a few slots left.

Just DM us to grab your spot! 🍫

Your next favorite concert fit might be waiting here. Good finds, good coffee and good company this coming Saturday, 5.23 at Bangtan Coffee Club & Friends Flea Market 🛒☕🛍️ #BangtanCoffeeClub

Looking for a side quest in Manila?

Skip the usual and try something hands-on — learn how to make your own tablea from cacao beans, from roasting and grinding to your first sip.

Sessions will be held at 1C Coffee (Greenhills) and 61 Orange (Marikina) - two unique spaces, one shared experience celebrating cacao, community, and craft.

Perfect if you’re looking for something new, creative, and a little more meaningful than your usual café visit.💚

Sharing to you a heartfelt, handmade first collection 🌱

I’ve been working on these pieces throughout the year, inspired by neighborhood trees, the unique patterns of leaves, and that warmth you feel when coming back to the sea. 🌳
