Titing’s Café, established in 1949 by Cristito “Titing” Pasinabo Sr., is a family-owned coffeehouse in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, now permanently located in the Laguda Building on Medina Street since 2002. The café is known for its traditional coffee blends and local delicacies like “budbud” and “Ti-a Wti,” and has become a hub for the community. Over the decades, it achieved milestones such as recognition under Presidential Proclamation 469 for Filipino culinary heritage in 2018 and media features in 2023 by local news outlets. Despite challenges like competition from modern cafés, rising ingredient costs, succession concerns, and adapting to regulations, the family continues to safeguard the café through traditional practices, mentorship, and community support.
