00:00So there's this notion that plant-based food are not delicious.

00:04So we wanted to change that and serve food that are delicious.

00:15Whether for health reasons or moral beliefs,

00:17there are more and more Filipinos who are interested in a plant-based diet.

00:22Here in the Philippines, young adults are the core consumers of this lifestyle

00:27from the age of 15 to 29 years old.

00:30There are more and more products that give us meat and animal dairy substitutes.

00:35People with a plant-based diet are divided into two categories.

00:39Vegans and vegetarians.

00:42What is the difference between the two?

00:44I think it's more of a lifestyle rather than just a diet.

00:47Vegetarian is more of like the plant-based option.

00:51So it still includes dairy and there's also eggs.

00:55So there's lacto for those who still consume milk.

00:58And then there's ovo for vegetarians for those who eat and consume eggs.

01:05Veganism is more of everything plant-based.

01:08Same with the lifestyle, sustainability,

01:11and heading towards more environmental activities and work.

01:17Here in Aurora, Quezon City,

01:19there's a cafe that has delicious drinks and hearty food

01:22for those who want to try being vegan.

01:25The Through Habit Cafe.

01:27Does Ashley Ortega have a vegan diet even though she's a certified sweet tooth?

01:34Actually, this drink is very interesting.

01:37Because usually when we drink coffee,

01:38we don't expect that it can pair with calamansi.

01:43So I wonder how this would taste.

01:45If it's sour or bitter.

01:48And also our food, our sweets.

01:52Usually, I feel guilty when I eat sweets.

01:55But these are all vegan.

01:56If you want a quick, happy fix that's also refreshing

02:00and with a mixture of the calamansi.

02:02Because people always wonder,

02:04does it pair well with calamansi?

02:05I don't think so.

02:06But it's really, really good.

02:08Oh my gosh.

02:12It's so good.

02:14Actually, the sourness and the taste of the coffee are competing.

02:19But the balance is there.

02:23It's really good.

02:24I think it's my first time eating a vegan dessert.

02:30It's good.

02:31It's a bit sweet.

02:33For people who don't like sweet cookies,

02:37I think this is perfect for you.

02:39This is my favorite oatmeal.

02:41Because when you say oatmeal cookies,

02:43it's less guilty because it's a healthy oatmeal.

02:47But this is really vegan.

02:49I think this is the best dessert for people who are on a diet.

02:53This one.

02:54Coconut cookies.

02:57I like it.

02:58Out of the three, this is the best for me.

03:04I feel like I'm drinking a cocktail.

03:06A cocktail coffee.

03:09But it's actually nice that we can give twists to our coffee.

03:14It's called Ventura Highway because of our barista.

03:18Because our barista's name is Arvin Ventura.

03:20He wanted for it to look like a sunset.

03:23So it's another citrusy drink, but it's higher in caffeine.

03:27So we wanted to serve a drink that is something familiar

03:31and represents our Filipino products,

03:37which is gata.

03:39So the crema de coco, it is espresso latte with coconut cream.

03:48Okay, I think this is my coffee.

03:50I like sweet drinks.

03:52I actually love coconut when it's mixed with coffee.

03:56I do that at home.

03:57I like this.

03:58I think this is actually my favorite.

04:01I don't know if it's this or that.

04:04Aside from good coffee, good food, and good habits,

04:07we also conduct our creative space with all the artists out there.

04:12Aside from our open library,

04:14we also invite everyone to come celebrate with us

04:17for your birthdays, anniversaries,

04:19and every single event that you would want to happen here at TrueHappen.
