Coffee lovers, get ready for a buzz. Rumours of Blue Bottle Coffee coming to Manila have been circulating for years, ever since a now-deleted Instagram account hinted at a potential launch back in 2020. Fans of the US-based specialty coffee roaster have been left wondering: could we finally see an official store in the Philippine capital?
