By nickahtolentino - Thursday, October 09, 2025


From its Baguio roots to a growing presence beyond the highlands, Foam Coffee has officially made its way to Ilocos Norte. Known for quality brews, flaky pastries, and Asian‑fusion comfort food, Foam brings its “indulge in flavor” ethos a little closer to the North. If you’re planning your first visit, here’s a curated list of must-tries—complete with quick, helpful descriptions.

Drinks to kick things off


Foam Signature Latte: A smooth, balanced latte with rich espresso and silky microfoam—comforting, creamy, and just sweet enough to let the coffee shine.


Strawberry Citron: Bright and refreshing; sweet strawberries meet lively citrus for a crisp, thirst‑quenching sip with a zesty finish.


Uji Kyoto Matcha: Earthy and clean with gentle umami and a natural sweetness—whisked smooth for a calm, green tea pick‑me‑up.

Pastries to pair with your cup


S’mores Croissant: Buttery, flaky layers filled with chocolate and toasted marshmallow, finished with a graham-style crunch—campfire nostalgia in pastry form.


Strawberries N’ Cream Croissant: A light, airy croissant piled with fresh strawberries and soft cream—sweet, tangy, and luxuriously buttery.

Desserts you shouldn’t skip


Strawberry Matcha Tiramisu: A playful twist on the classic—matcha-kissed layers with strawberries and whipped mascarpone for a creamy, berry‑green tea harmony.


Egg Tart: Crisp, golden crust with silky, lightly sweet egg custard—simple, elegant, and perfect with coffee or tea.


Classic Tiramisu: Espresso-soaked layers and cloud‑light mascarpone dusted with cocoa—bittersweet, creamy, and timeless.

Savory bites and fusion comfort


Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Golden, toasty bread with a gooey cheese pull—rich, melty comfort that pairs well with coffee or a fruity cooler.


Gochu Chicken Pasta: Tender chicken tossed in a creamy, gochujang‑forward sauce—spicy, slightly sweet, and deeply savory over al dente pasta.


Bulgogi Tapa: Savory‑sweet soy‑garlic beef mingled with rice, sesame, and scallions—Korean flavors with an Filipino hug.


Cheese Buldak: A fiery, crave‑worthy chicken dish blanketed in molten cheese—the perfect balance of heat, smoke, and creamy richness.

Why locals will love Foam

Roots and range: Foam started in Baguio (est. 2021) and has grown with its own roastery and branches beyond the city—now including Ilocos Norte.

Something for everyone: From signature blends to pastries and Asian‑fusion meals, the menu covers early mornings, hearty lunches, and late‑night cravings.

Welcome to Ilocos Norte, Foam Coffee. If you’re dropping by, start with the Signature Latte and a S’mores Croissant—then work your way to the Cheese Buldak when you’re ready for heat.
