Creme Brûlée Latte
A latte with house-made vanilla bean syrup.
Espresso
Mostra pulls its Ghost Bear blend of Philippine coffees.
Curator’s note
Mostra had not planned a third cafe when Mike Neal, chief executive of the developer that had just put up a 75-unit building on Fourth Avenue, asked the founders to walk it, and they took the ground floor, a coffee bar with the building's tenants directly upstairs. Co-founder Jelynn Malone, who hosts the Mostra Monday podcast, was named the Most Influential Filipina Woman in the World for Extraordinary Merit by the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network in October 2025.
The Coffee
Every espresso drink here starts on Ghost Bear, the blend of Philippine coffee the company sells more of than any other, and the drip is a daily batch with no pour-over beside it. The signature side runs to a Campfire Mocha of dark chocolate, graham cracker and honey, a Blueberry Pancakes Latte topped with butter crisps and a Juniper Spice Latte on juniper syrup made in the shop.

The Vibe
Architects Orange took this one as architect of record and design architect, refitting 699 square feet with streamlined casework and a beverage-prep layout built around the bar's own workflow. Natural textures and crisp lines keep it bright, and at that size nothing decorative survives the plan.
