Nestled on the ground level of the iconic DRIFT Hotel, DAWN Café & DUSK Bar seamlessly weave into the fabric of the bustling walking street. A vibrant duality awaits exploration, inviting the community to discover our distinctive identity.

From the moment you step through our doors, you're greeted by an ambiance transcending time. The spacious, contemporary interior, revealed through generous openings, starkly contrasts the historical Spanish-style facade—this fusion of old and new sets the stage for an unforgettable experience.

As daylight breaks, DAWN Café comes to life; its warm hues and lively mural create an inviting atmosphere. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, awakening the senses and signaling the start of a new day. Meanwhile, as twilight descends, DUSK Bar takes center stage. Its darker, raw materials set a relaxed tone for evening cocktails and conversation. The transition from day to night mirrors life's natural rhythm, where moments are marked not by the clock's ticking but by the ebb and flow of activity and relaxation.

At DAWN & DUSK, we celebrate the celestial dance between light and darkness, offering a space where every moment is an opportunity to savor the beauty of life's daily rhythm. Join us as we redefine the concept of time, one sip and one conversation at a time.
