DAVAO — A homegrown startup is quietly reshaping the coffee culture of Davao del Norte. Caffeine Jitters & Co., nestled along Roxas Street in the Bacaltos Complex, has become a favorite destination for residents seeking freshly baked cakes, artisan breads, and lovingly brewed beverages in a warm, welcoming setting.
A Homegrown Tagum Original
Caffeine Jitters & Co. proudly operates as a Tagum City-based enterprise with a simple but powerful philosophy. The team believes that food and drink are more than everyday comforts; they are ways to connect, celebrate, and show care. This guiding principle shapes every product that leaves their kitchen.
Their slogan, "Fresh for the ones you love," captures the sincerity behind each item. The fuller version, "Freshly baked. Lovingly brewed. For the ones you care about," reflects a commitment to quality ingredients and a personal touch. Whether customers are picking up a custom cake or enjoying a quiet coffee break, the goal is to make each experience feel special.
Signature Blends and Creative Lattes
The beverage menu showcases an impressive range of signature lattes that blend espresso with inventive flavor combinations. The Hazelnut Cocoa Latté offers a comforting mix of cocoa and roasted hazelnut with a soft chocolate finish. The White Chocolate Pistachio Latté delivers a luxurious, buttery nut aroma with creamy sweetness in every sip.
Newer additions include the Double Mocha Latté, which layers two chocolates with espresso for a deep, complex experience. The Pastillas Cream Latté infuses espresso with creamy pastillas flavor, creating a velvety blend with a sweet, milky finish. The Canela Royale Latté stands out with cinnamon, caramelized honeycomb, and a luscious foam finish.
Matcha, Frappés, and Non-Coffee Creations
For matcha enthusiasts, the café offers a dedicated selection. The Himalayan Salted Matcha balances creamy matcha with a refined salty finish, while the Ube Matcha combines earthy green tea with the sweet, nutty flavor of ube. The Mango Tropical Matcha brings a bright, refreshing fusion of tropical fruit and premium matcha.
Frappé lovers can indulge in the Red Velvet Frappé, a rich, chocolatey blend with homemade red velvet sauce. The Ube Crush Frappé delivers creamy ube with roasted peanut crush for a smooth, nutty depth. Non-coffee options like the Oreo Milky Vanilla and Choco-Mallow Cream provide delightful alternatives for those avoiding caffeine.
