A Coffee Mate From Australia to Manila
A vital part of Manila’s cultural fabric is its coffee scene, where several cozy establishments offer frothy cappuccinos and friendly conversation. But Makati has its own specialty coffee emporium: Panco. Established in 2022, founder Shanel Tan took Australia’s best coffee secrets to Manila, enabling her to source the finest and ethical coffee beans while mastering roasting and brewing techniques for the Filipino consumer. With Australia’s characteristic coffee roasts and the Philippines’ bountiful cuisine, Panco offers a menu that easily satisfies the Filipino palate, and affirms the belief that coffee—or food—doesn’t have to be a complicated affair.
Get the Breakfast Brisket with a Tiramisu Latte, or the Ube Turon ala Mode with a Vanilla Bean Latte, or just a regular, rich Flat White to fuel you for today’s agenda. Panco is an unfussy joint where you can savor your cup, guaranteed to happily sate any pour-over enthusiast or caffeine purist. Within two years of operations, Panco has proven its presence in the country, making every drink as tasty as it is conscious.
Drinking Panco in the Andanté Way

Andanté is quickly capturing Filipinos’ hearts and soles. Coupled with an elevated fashion ethos and chic sophistication, the brand is reinventing the sartorial wheel with styles to easily step into and timeless, elegant silhouettes to boot. Slip your feet into meticulously handcrafted ballerina flats, chunky loafers, Mary Janes, or slingback heels that carry an attitude of fashionable confidence. These are the new jewels of your shoe rack, as the brand is all about shopping now and wearing forever.
When you’ve got your own pair of shoes to go throughout your day, stop by their neighbor, the new Panco branch at One Ayala Malls, Makati. With or in your new Andanté shoes, Panco will give you a kick of Filipino nostalgia with a treat reminiscent of the halcyon days of childhood summers where you find sorbetes stalls on the streets: the Sorbetes Cold Brew.
From September 1 to October 15, Panco and Andanté sweeten the deal by presenting you with this new coffee on the house. Purchase your shoes, wear it over to Panco, and snap an Insta-worthy moment.
