Readers who closely followed last week’s Ancestro review may have noticed some news: A physical café and bakery will be opened by Balong, the Filipino-American breakfast sandwich phenomenon that came before the Mexican brunch pop-up in the Cadejo Coffee kitchen.
The project’s specifics have been kept under wraps by Balong chef Justin Dauz, who gained a devoted following for his breakfast sandwiches on freshly baked pan de sal rolls. However, a recent GoFundMe campaign disclosed some important information: Dauz intends to operate Balong in a turnkey location by April, complete with well-maintained old bakery equipment and surprisingly affordable rent.
