Home / The team
One owner and three students who run the bar, the kitchen and the roaster between classes.
Owner and operator
A full-stack marketing systems consultant who runs the café's digital side, local advertising and back-office operations.
Years of exploring regional dining spots across northern and central Luzon taught him what real roadside hospitality feels like, and he designed Kubo Kopi to capture it.
On weekends you'll find him running the chess bracket. He has a soft spot for rapid and blitz, tactical calculations, and reading an opponent from the way they hold their cup.
Play him on SaturdayTap a card to see how the job fits around their studies.
Lead barista
Third-year BS Accountancy. Dials in the espresso every morning at 5:00.
Early-morning shifts leave his afternoons free for class. He's mastering extraction while his wages cover his textbooks and full semester tuition.
When the café is quiet, the corner table becomes his study desk.
Kitchen lead and server
Second-year BS Hospitality Management. Runs the breakfast menu and the inventory.
Every shift is hands-on culinary and service experience that maps straight onto her degree.
Her daily meal allowance and weekend tips help support her younger siblings.
Roaster assistant and utility
First-year BS Agriculture. Sorts green beans and helps with every roast.
Practical exposure to crop processing and commodity handling, the same work he's studying.
His schedule bends around exams, and the café sponsors his seasonal trips home.
Good coffee is a team sport. We schedule around exams, pay for books, and send people home for fiesta.
Working students make up our whole crew. Flexible shifts and real responsibility come first, and the coffee is better for it.
