Xin Cafe, located at La Salette Building along Valeria Street, across SM Delgado, takes a bold new step forward with the launch of its newest chapter, 14:30 Brew Cafe and Lounge. Guided by the vision of Mr. Flores, a seasoned seafarer who took over the cafe a year ago, Xin Cafe continues its mission to serve the community with flavorful offerings and meaningful connections.
“My goal in taking Xin Cafe to its new chapter is to help our community in small ways by opening jobs with this humble cafe,” shares Mr. Flores. His vision goes beyond creating a memorable dining experience, aiming instead to empower young adults through training and employment opportunities. “Starting a business is not easy. But with the right support from the community of patrons, the risk is worth it. I hope Xin Cafe is going to brew its success with me, my team, and the customers who share our belief in providing local job opportunities.”
A Journey Around the World in Every Cup
Inspired by Mr. Flores’s travels as a seafarer, Xin Cafe invites customers on a global adventure through its “Coffee Around the World” menu. Signature brews include Spain’s Café Bombón, Vietnam’s Ca Phe Trung, Ireland’s Coffee, Cuba’s Cortadito, and Singapore’s Kopi Go You. Each cup tells a story, offering customers a taste of diverse cultures without leaving Iloilo.
More Than Coffee
Xin Cafe expands beyond its celebrated coffee offerings with a menu designed to cater to every palate. Customers can enjoy hearty breakfast platters, rice meals, pizzas, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, fresh salads, and local favorites like chow mien, lumpia shanghai, pancit molo, and chicken wings. The variety ensures there’s something for everyone.
14:30 Brew Cafe and Lounge: A Space for Every Occasion

The space is designed for a wide range of occasions, whether it’s catching up with friends, holding business meetings, or hosting family gatherings. Its cozy and inviting atmosphere fosters meaningful interactions over delicious food and coffee – value for your money.
Xin Cafe’s journey has been one of resilience and perseverance. “Xin Cafe tried several times to serve Ilonggos with food and drinks despite the challenges and difficulties,” Mr. Flores reflects. “Success does not come at our first try. This cafe has been that story of resilience and perseverance in trying again and again until one day we reach our vision.”
With the launch of 14:30 Brew Cafe and Lounge, Xin Cafe reaffirms its commitment to being more than just a dining destination. It aspires to be a community—a space for stories, connections, and shared moments. Located in the heart of Iloilo City, Xin Cafe proudly contributes to Iloilo’s status as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, staying true to its purpose of brewing success for its team and patrons alike.
