Before Leafy & Latte, there was Ka•tas, a Cavite-based coffee brand founded by Erick Jhon Cabal with the tagline “Fuel your hustle, one sip at a time.” Ka•tas was proudly sourced in Cavite and built around community, supporting students and single moms, brewing purpose one sip at a time. It grew an organic following of 356+ followers, earned 13 glowing 5-star reviews from distributors and customers alike, and proved one thing: Cavite loves good, affordable coffee made by one of their own.
Ka•tas wasn't just a business, it was proof of concept. Erick learned the sourcing game, the community trust, and the hustle of online selling. That foundation became the seed for something bigger.
In 2026, Erick teamed up with Karl Angel D. Dabu and relaunched with a bigger vision: not just coffee, but clean food. Not just a product, but a neighborhood institution. Leafy & Latte was born, “Fresh Greens. Warm Brews.”, a real café you can walk into, right beside Lancaster Zone 2 along Arnaldo Highway in General Trias.
Leafy & Latte isn't just a cafe. It's a love letter to General Trias, and to every Filipino who deserves clean food and great coffee, right in their neighborhood.
