I’ve never felt so prepared and so unprepared for an event at the same time.

100/10 the craziest service I’ve ever had to go through.

85 cups ordered in an hour.
45 minute wait time.
7 different, complicated drinks designed for a slow service.

It was fucking awesome.

I jokingly say I would never wish this kind of rush on any barista or bartender, given the tools we had that day. Things definitely didn’t go how we planned, but there’s something pretty special about being thrown completely into the deep end with people you trust.

Because underneath all the chaos, this was exactly why we do this. To make coffee and drinks that are a little different. To take something we love and turn it into something other people can enjoy. Getting to do that while celebrating three years of Tandem was a privilege.

A huge thank you to chefs @mikeelopez.tan and @alexcraig.tan of @tandem.mnl for always giving @guesthouse.coffee an avenue to share and express our passion.

To Jo and Mandrake of @kubocoffee_ , for always supporting us and making sure everything outside the bar is handled while we’re busy losing our minds behind it.

To Day, for jumping into expo and guiding us through the weeds, and making sure nothing got neglected while we were getting absolutely buried.

To @ak.arw , for always being my reliable spro man, and to our bosses at @pocketmakati for letting me bring Pocket’s drinks to the Tandem audience.

Special mention to @dumdumdums for helping with everything from R&D and batch prep to ingress and egress. And to my ever-so-supportive waifu @smolpiepie for documenting the whole thing so beautifully.

And lastly, to everyone who came. Friends, familiar faces, and those who probably had no idea who we were. Thank you for giving us a chance.

I hope you enjoyed the drinks as much as we enjoyed making them. And if a cup didn’t quite live up to your expectations, I hope you’ll give us another chance. I’d be more than happy to make you a new one at one of our upcoming events.

Looking through these photos, I think that’s what I’ll remember most.

Not the wait times.
Not the 85 cups.
Not even the chaos.

Just the people.

Happy 3rd birthday again, @tandem.mnl 🫶 by @artsyfoe

Before the week ends, I just want to take this opportunity to flex and simp on my girl @isabellepie.

I apologize in advance for flooding your feed, but heh. This is probably the first time I'd post something personal but I'm just so damn proud of her. Happy birthday @isabellepie!

Just a month ago, our house was robbed and they took all of my cameras.

Posting the last few photos of this series to commemorate my beloved Nikon F3.
