Our year-round, full-time opportunity to tell people about Philippine coffee – the Kape Isla Coffee Shop – is now open at the G/F Serendra (across Market! Market!), Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. The store's grand launch is on Thursday, 1 March at 5:30 p.m.

Kape Isla showcases the finest coffee from the Philippine islands. Available all year-round would be over a dozen varieties of Philippine coffee beans, blends and brews. The coffee shop is an experience in itself, serving delicious hot and cold coffee concoctions including barako lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas plus refreshing ice cold coffee choco-nut, cookies and cream, barako milk shakes and coffee mantecado ice cream shakes. Philippine Robusta, Excelsa, Arabica and Liberica coffee beans from all over the country – from Benguet and the Cordilleras to Cavite, Batangas, Panay, Negros, all the way to Bukidnon and Sultan Kudarat.

The choice of beans are rotated every two weeks as the featured Coffee of the Week. Every visit to Kape Isla is a whole new coffee experiencw! Even better, you get to support the Philippine coffee industry at the same time. As a social enterprise, Kape Isla’s profits are given back to programs and projects of the Philippine Coffee Board designed to sustain the coffee industry.

Designed by the country’s premiere architectural team of Leandron V. Locsin and Partners, Kape Isla carries the theme of modern, global Pinoy meets traditional Filipino. To the best extent possible, the coffee shop proudly shows off Filipino design in its architecture and interior design, down to its furniture, accessories, art, background music, and even coffee mugs and merchandise. At the same time, it provides patrons with all the amenities of modern cafes– complete with wireless internet connections.

To complement the delicious cups of Philippine coffee, Kape Isla also serves light breakfast, lunch, dinner and traditional Filipino merienda fare. Such items include kakanins, rice cakes, pan de sal, Pinoy pastas, savories and pastries– again from different parts of the country to show off the diversity of Filipino food which can go with equally diverse coffees.
