Nadine Lustre Pickup Coffee x Dehusk

From redefining what it means to live off-grid in Siargao to turning plant-based milk into a lifestyle statement, Nadine Lustre is the poster girl for conscious cool—someone who makes sustainability look like the natural next step in pop culture.So when she slipped on a barista’s apron and stepped behind the counter at the launch of the Pickup Coffee x Dehusk collaboration, it wasn’t just another celebrity endorsement. It was Nadine in her “barista era”—and a reflection of how she turns every project into a story about living with purpose.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760423415900IMG_7101.JPG" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Nadine Lustre serving looks and lattés in her barista era | Photo: Pickup Coffee</div>The partnership between Pickup Coffee and Dehusk feels like an inevitable match: two proudly Filipino brands, both driven by a taste for innovation and a love of local. Together, they’ve brewed up a quartet of new coconut milk–based drinks that hit all the right notes: smooth, tropical, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat.At the top of the list is Nadine’s Coco Mango Matcha, her personal creation that blends the earthy calm of matcha with the sunshine sweetness of mango. It’s lush, green, and golden all at once, like Siargao in a cup. The other drinks in the collection are Ube Coconut Milk, PICKUP Coco Latte, and Strawberry Coconut Milk. Each one brings familiar flavors into the plant-based era.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760423444600IMG_7103.JPG" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Four new drinks, one cool collab | Photo: Pickup Coffee</div>If this partnership feels seamless, that’s because it is. Pickup Coffee’s Chief Brand Officer, Bien Lee, says the collaboration came naturally—both brands share an instinct for doing things differently. “We’re always looking for new innovations to surprise and delight our customers,” Lee says, adding that Dehusk’s coconut milk felt like the right ingredient for the next chapter of Pickup’s story.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760423599958PUCXDEHUSK02-1.jpg" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>For Dehusk co-founder Christopher Bariou, the collaboration is also a step toward something larger: accessibility. “One of our goals is to reach all the islands of the Philippines,” he says. Partnering with a brand as omnipresent as Pickup Coffee, he adds, helps make that possible—not just for Dehusk, but for the local plant-based movement itself.Co-founded by Lustre and Bariou, Dehusk has been quietly carving its niche in the local plant-based scene since its debut, positioning coconut milk as both sustainable and distinctly Filipino. Their upcoming Barista Edition—formulated to steam and froth like dairy—suggests a future where coconut milk could become as common behind espresso machines as it is in home kitchens.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1760423530440IMG_7099.PNG" style="width:900px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/>Nadine Lustre and Chris Bariou are the power couple behind Dehusk</div>At the launch, held at Pickup Coffee’s flagship PICKUP PRIME store in Vertis North, Lustre poured drinks, laughed with fans, and snapped selfies between orders. The atmosphere was part caffeine rush, part fan meet, and entirely Nadine—relaxed, playful, and plugged into the community she’s helped inspire.“Dehusk is very easy to mix with everything,” she says with a grin. “And obviously, Pickup Coffee has the best drinks ever.” It’s the kind of casual charm that reminds you this isn’t a pitch—it’s her personal taste.The drinks are now available in Luzon stores and on the Pickup Coffee app, with Visayas and Mindanao following on October 13. It’s a collaboration that proves local can be thoughtful, stylish, and seriously good—no hashtags required.

Nadine Lustre steps into her “barista era” with Pickup Coffee and Dehusk, blending her effortless cool with a homegrown collaboration that turns coconut milk into the next big thing in café culture.
