SMHCC x Nestlé Philippines: First DASH Cart at Pico de Loro Cove

The newest site at the beachfront of Pico de Loro Cove is the DASH Cart, serving a curated selection of coffee blends and brews, perfectly paired with fresh pastries. Now, I have visitors don't have to go far to get their cups of coffee because it's just there at the beach area.

SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation (SMHCC) has officially launched the mobile coffee-on-wheels created in partnership with Nestlé Philippines, at its flagship seaside destination, Pico de Loro Cove. The unveiling was held at the Pico de Loro Country Club, graced by executives from SMHCC, Nestlé Philippines, and members of the media.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the launch, led by National Key Accounts & OCS Head, Nestlé Philippines Brandy Morales, General Manager Maxi Gavino, SMHCC Vice President for Quality and Sustainability Leah Magallanes, and SMHCC Vice President-Commercial Agnes Pacis. The highlight of the program was a celebratory DASH coffee toast joined by all attendees.

In her welcome remarks, GM Gavino, General Manager of Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club and Pico Sands Hotel, shared: “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.”

Tish De Belen, SMHCC Senior Operations Manager for Food & Beverage, recounted how the concept evolved: “DASH started as a Grab-and-Go idea for our hotels, and soon became a cart—accessible, mobile, and easygoing. With Nestlé Philippines 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.”

Echoing this, Ian Alcantara, Senior Business Development Manager of Nestlé Philippines, remarked: “We look forward to this partnership, bringing the comfort of the Nestlé coffee experience to members and guests of Pico de Loro Cove.”

Closing the event, Ms. Agnes Pacis emphasized the cart’s promise of convenience: “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.”

The DASH cart is likewise available at Park Inn by Radisson Davao, and is expected to open next at Park Inn by Radisson Clark and North EDSA.
