Preview Café Returned at Preview Ball 2026 With Coffee, Matcha and Sweet Treats

The Preview Café returned for Preview Ball 2026, giving guests a place to recharge before heading into one of Philippine fashion’s biggest annual gatherings.

Held on September 10, 2026 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom at Marriott Manila in Newport World Resorts, this year’s Ball carried the theme Deconstructed Fashion, highlighting the ideas, materials, craftsmanship, and cultural influences behind Filipino design. Just beyond the event’s gray carpet, Moss Design House transformed part of the ballroom foyer into a relaxed café space presented by Birch Tree Adult Boost, where guests could stop for coffee, matcha, snacks, and photos before the main program began.

The pop-up café served coffee and matcha lattes prepared with Birch Tree Adult Boost with Collagen, alongside chilled servings of the powdered milk drink. Guests could also pick up light snacks such as polvoron, butter cookies, and crisps made using the same product. The activation leaned into the social side of the Preview Ball as much as the refreshments, providing another space for attendees to catch up and photograph their looks after walking the carpet. Birch Tree Adult Boost with Collagen is sold in the Philippines as a fortified powdered milk drink containing collagen and other nutrients, although promotional terms such as “beauty milk” should be understood as branding rather than a guarantee of cosmetic results.

The café was one of several branded experiences surrounding the 2026 Preview Ball, which marked Preview’s 31st year and brought together figures from the country’s fashion and creative industries. Preview named Birch Tree Adult Boost and Dove as co-presenters, with GCash, Belo Medical Group, and other brands supporting the event. Inside the ballroom, the program continued the Deconstructed Fashion theme through designer recognitions, style honors, and the reveal of Preview Volume 2. Since the Ball took place in September, the Preview Café is no longer an active pop-up, but it remains part of how this year’s event extended its fashion concept into the guest experience.
