Sol Café: The Pop-up Café for Every Occasion
From Home-Based Brew to Premium Pop-up Café
Everywhere we go, our hearts crave one thing: coffee. Being Filipino means loving coffee even in the country’s scorching weather. But what if there’s a café made for that? Sol Café, owned by Edsel Santiago, is a refreshing pop-up cart designed to satisfy both coffee and non-coffee lovers.
Started as a home-based coffee shop in Greenhills with only six basic flavors, Sol Coffee Cart/Café has grown into a pop-up café offering more than 20 drinks across three categories: coffee, non-coffee, and frappes. It opened on June 7, 2024, and has grown significantly in just two years. “Sol,” meaning sun in Spanish, embodies the coffee cart’s vision of radiating energy through its drinks.
Brewing Experiences for Every Celebration
This café is not your typical coffee shop but a minimalist yet premium pop-up cart that can cater to a variety of events, such as weddings, birthdays, christenings, brand events, conferences, launches, concerts, etc.
“Every event that needs a coffee.” – Edsel Santiago

“I love collaborating with creative people.” – Edsel Santiago
She also stated that if there is one flavor she can recommend to the café’s future customers, it is the Spanish latte, which can capture everyone’s hearts, as it is Sol Café’s best-selling drink.
With the recent collaboration of PIPOL mgZn with Cornerstone Entertainment featuring P-pop groups, Sol Café was also seen on set, with drinks available for artists and the production team as well.
