“Make your business stand out” they said. Well Umar Khalid and his wife/businees partner Alona Guerra took that advice on literally!

Based on the affluent High St of Hampstead, Kape Barako (named after the coffee capital of the Phillipines) selling Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate and Chai latte to the passers by who have opted to not sit outside one of the many coffee shops available along the High St and instead get their hot drink needs from this eye catching telephone box barista.

Umar told us that they have now expanded to Birmingham as well with a similar set up. Kape Barako is open Monday – Friday from 7am – 6pm and from 10am – 5pm on weekends.
