An after-hours latte art tournament for beginners. No barista experience. No espresso machine at home. Just a first step into pouring latte art.

Participants begin with a short training and practice session. Pour a simple heart or tulip on your own, and you earn a spot in the tournament. From there, the bracket unfolds over several weeks, with each round judged consistently using AI.

This isnโ€™t about speed or perfection. Itโ€™s about learning, focus, and progress.

Spots are limited. Learn more and enter here: https://chewchewbun.com/latteart

This is Shio Pan, our new base moving into 2026.
Simple by design. Strong on purpose.

If you haven't read the Chew Chew Wrap 2025, link in bio!

What youโ€™re seeing here isnโ€™t a finished lineup. Itโ€™s a foundation.
A base that lets us build, test, layer, and expand ideas with fewer limits, from daily bakes to future formats we havenโ€™t shared yet.

Same brioche soul. Same care and intention. But now with a structure that supports consistency, scale, and what it takes to move from a local counter to something much bigger.

This base opens the door to thoughtful mass production, tighter quality control, and eventually, projects that reach beyond State College. Not overnight. Not rushed. But built right.

Welcome to the foundation.

Meet CNT Cafe, Philly.
The backbone behind our Coffee and Tea program.
14 years of friendship
mentorship
and the kind of support that is priceless.

There are people who shape your life loudly, and there are people who shape it quietly but powerfully. Tan is the second kind. Someone weโ€™ve never formally introduced, yet his influence runs through almost every corner of Chew Chew Bun.

He isnโ€™t just a close friend. Heโ€™s the person I could hand the CCB key to and walk away, knowing the business would grow in capable hands. Tan gave us the fundamentals on which we stand today. The care, the technique, the logic behind the bar, the way we think about coffee, tea, and hospitality. Much of the backbone of our Coffee N Tea program began with him.

And many of you have been tasting their familyโ€™s work long before you ever knew his name. Since 2021, in our Nittany Mall days, youโ€™ve been drinking their premium loose-leaf teas: Tieguanyin Oolong, Jin Jun Mei Black, Mudan White, and Jasmine Green.

When we started designing our drink menu in 2022, espresso was a different world to me. I only drank drip coffee then. I didnโ€™t know what a โ€œcoffee menuโ€ should look like. So our original drink menu? It was copied directly from CNT Cafรฉ. In any other situation, copying someoneโ€™s menu would feel wrong. Here, it was permission. It was trust. It was a mentor saying, โ€œ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ž. ๐ˆ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ฎ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฉ๐š๐ญ๐ก.โ€ And we did.

When we took over the downtown space from Crust and Crumb, I called Tan and admitted I had no idea how to operate the espresso machine and the bar that were left there.

He just said,

โ€œ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž. ๐ˆโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ข๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐š ๐œ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐๐š๐ฒ๐ฌ.โ€

I asked what I should do for our drink menu.
He said,

โ€œ๐‰๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐œ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ.โ€

It was never about the menu. It was about grounding me to provide direction and drive growth.

There was a night we stayed over at his place, talking long after midnight. Iโ€™ll never forget hearing him say this to me:

โ€œ๐‚๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐ž ๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฆ๐ž, ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐’๐ค๐ฒ๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐๐ฌ, ๐ง๐จ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐š๐ฌ๐ค๐ž๐.โ€

Those three sentences shaped how I lead today. They became part of CCBโ€™s belief, culture, and mindset.

Weโ€™ve discussed building something together in Philly countless times over the years. A large production facility, roasting our own beans, scaling pastries into regions, and providing education. Itโ€™s so tempting. But I love State College, and thatโ€™s whatโ€™s kept me here (for now).

We know people come and go, especially in a college town. Many of you came from or are headed to Philly. So if you ever find yourself missing our coffee, you can get a similar or even better sip at CNT Cafรฉ in Philly.

Truly, without Tan and CNT, CCB wouldnโ€™t have the Coffee N Tea identity we have today. Not even close. His influence is behind our success, our growth, and the quiet confidence weโ€™ve built over the years.

And yes, for those whoโ€™ve wondered, CNT stands for Coffee N Tea.
