Something Beautiful is Blooming
In Full Bloom
A Filipino coffee pop-up, a flower workshop, and a brunch you won’t forget, all at NUE this April.
Sun & Stars Pop-Up at NUE
April 25 & 26 | 11 AM – 3 PM
We are welcoming Kimberly Santos Lizardo and her beautiful brand Sun & Stars, a Filipina-owned specialty coffee roaster, to NUE for a weekend pop-up.
Kimberly’s story is one of those that just stops you. What started as an obsession with pouring the perfect latte art heart led her to discover that the Philippines was once the fourth largest coffee exporter in the world and she knew she wanted to bring that story here. Sun & Stars is named after the sun and stars on the Philippine flag and the stars on the American flag. It is her heritage, her passion, and her calling—all in one beautiful cup.
For two days, Kimberly will be set up at NUE with her specialty coffee cart, serving lattes inspired by Vietnamese and Filipino flavors. Come in for brunch, stay for a coffee. And yes, you’ll be able to add a shot of liqueur to your cup.
No ticket needed. Just come as you are.

Flowers in Your Garden
Sunday, April 26 | 2 – 4 PM
We’re hosting an intimate ticketed brunch in NUE’s Flower Room in a collaboration between Sun & Stars Coffee, Rachel with Seat With Me and her floral experience “Flowers in Your Garden,” and a guided reflection series.
The event is inspired by Lê Phổ, the pioneering Vietnamese modern master artist and my great-grand uncle, whose paintings inspired the murals on NUE’s very walls. His art was dreamlike with images of women, gardens, flowers, and family, painted during a time when Vietnamese voices weren’t always given the stage they deserved. This brunch is a continuation of that spirit.
Guests will build their own bouquet using flowers rooted in Vietnamese symbolism—lotus, orchid, cherry blossom, peach blossom, chrysanthemum, while sharing in a guided reflection and enjoying a beautiful brunch spread alongside Sun & Stars specialty coffee.
Your $75 ticket includes:
- 2 Sun & Stars specialty latte or 1 NUE cocktail
- Complimentary sodas
- Seat with Me guided reflection
- Floral craft workshop— build your own bouquet to take home
- NUE brunch spread
