Dash Coffee Cart Pico de Loro 

<p>The unparalleled feeling of relaxation is the moment you pair your cozy retreat with a cup of cold or hot brew. And this on-the-wheels espresso bar just brought that sheer serenity to reality. Just two hours away from Manila, the <strong>DASH</strong> <strong>Cart</strong> was officially launched at one of the prestigious hotels in <strong>Batangas</strong>, <strong>Pico de Loro</strong>, bringing your favorite coffee blends while you enjoy your restorative break.</p><div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176016731055001.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/><span class="fr-inner">dash Coffee Cart</span></span></span></div><p>Strategically located next to the <strong>Pico de Loro Beach</strong> <strong>&amp; Country Club </strong>and within the coastal community of <strong>Pico de Loro Cove</strong>, the DASH Cart isn’t your normal coffee truck; it’s a freshly brewed beans ready to be served during your comforting escape, elevating every sip into an indulgent experience–warmly quenching our taste buds and relieving our stress.</p><p>To make the most of our experience, <strong>SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation</strong> (SMHCC) invited us to a seaside rendezvous, joining the launch of the mobile coffee-on-wheels, DASH Cart, and treating us to an overnight stay with a tranquil itinerary. Alongside the media, executives from both SMHCC and Nestlé Philippines were also present. They held the ribbon-cutting ceremony and toasted each other’s cups, strengthening their partnership. The attendees were: <strong>National Key Accounts &amp; OCS Head, Nestlé Philippines, Mr. Brandy Morales, General Manager, Ms. Maxi Gavino, SMHCC Vice President for Quality and Sustainability, Ms. Leah Magallanes, and SMHCC Vice President-Commercial, Ms. Agnes Pacis.</strong></p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176016741458913..jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Ms. Maxi Gavino, General Manager of Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club and Pico Sands Hotel, warmly welcomed everyone during the launch, “We are thrilled that Pico de Loro Cove is the first to roll out DASH. More than serving coffee, it’s about creating experiences and memories that guests will carry with them when they visit destinations like ours,” she announced.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>What does the DASH Cart offer? </strong></div><p>Beyond being a quick coffee stop, the idea for the DASH Cart came from the Grab-and-Go concept SMHCC has in its vicinity. Ms. Tish De Belen, SMHCC Senior Operations Manager for Food &amp; Beverage, explains the concept around the coffee wheel and recounted how it was started, “DASH started as a Grab-and-Go idea for our hotels, and soon became a cart–accessible, mobile, and easygoing. With <strong>Nestlé Philippines</strong> on board, the concept has grown into a stronger collaboration. While we begin here at Pico de Loro, more SMHCC properties will soon enjoy the same convenience,” she said.</p><div> </div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176016749930911.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Along with the freshly brewed coffee beans, the espresso cart also offers fresh pastries: <strong>Gluten-free cookies, Mini chocolate chip cookies, Almond Biscotti, Chocolate Biscotti, Peanut Butter Biscotti, Mango Pop-Tarts, Pumpkin Seed Granola Bars, and Coconut Macaroons.</strong></p><p>Mr. Ian Alcantara, Senior Business Development Manager of Nestlé Philippines, expresses his heartfelt appreciation for the joint venture, saying, “We look forward to this partnership, bringing the comfort of the Nestlé coffee experience to members and guests of Pico de Loro Cove.”</p><p>Finalizing the occasion, Ms. Agnes Pacis expounds on the convenience the DASH Cart sought to bring to its consumers, “Wherever you are in the property, the DASH Cart will come to you. It’s about pairing quality coffee with our own breads and pastries, delivering comfort and enjoyment—one cup at a time.”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/176016756111306.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Aside from Pico de Loro, the DASH Cart is also available at Park Inn by Radisson Davao.
