“The Sarap Shop is a groundbreaking family-owned Filipino cafe, caterer, and creative food studio in San Francisco's SoMa Pilipinas Filipino Cultural District. Founded by first-generation Filipino-American couple Kristen Brillantes and JP Reyes, The Sarap Shop began when they chose to buy a food truck instead of having an expensive wedding. The name "sarap" carries dual meaning in Tagalog-both "tastes good" and "feels good"-reflecting their mission to spread connection and belonging through food. The Sarap Shop specializes in plant-forward inclusive Filipino-American comfort food with extensive vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Their signature dishes include the famous Sisig Carbonara (available with pork, lechon, or tofu), Longanisa Dirty Dog, Halo Halo Milk Tea, and Sea Salt Leche Flan Coffee. They pioneered vegan lumpia in partnership with Impossible Foods. The cafe now has multiple locations: their HQ on Stillman Street (a hidden gem with vibrant murals), a stand at the Golden State Warriors Chase Center Arena, and previously at Parklab Gardens. The Sarap Shop offers comprehensive catering services from casual events to elevated wedding kamayan dinners, earning rave reviews for professionalism and flexibility. They bottle and ship their 100% plant-based, gluten-free sauces nationwide. Beyond food, The Sarap Shop partnered with nonprofit Kultivate Labs to support rising Filipino-American creatives and entrepreneurs. Featured on PBS's "Check Please! Bay Area," The Sarap Shop embodies Filipino hospitality's magic-turning strangers to friends to family through bold, feel-good flavors.”

By combining this signature Filipino dish with a tea house concept, the establishment offers both Filipino food and Asian beverages in a contemporary setting. Located on Vermont Avenue in Koreatown, Bagnet Tea House serves the area's diverse Asian community, including Filipino residents and workers.

This fusion concept reflects the evolution of Filipino restaurants catering to contemporary tastes while maintaining cultural authenticity. For Filipino-Americans, particularly those from Ilocos, Bagnet Tea House offers regional specialties in a trendy tea house format that attracts both Filipino customers seeking authentic flavors and non-Filipino diners curious about Filipino cuisine. The Koreatown location positions it well to introduce Filipino food to the neighborhood's diverse population while serving as a destination for Filipinos citywide seeking quality bagnet.”
