If you’re a huge fan of the Japanese coffee brand % Arabica, then you were probably devastated when they suddenly closed down their branches all over Metro Manila. While their closing came as a huge surprise, it looks like a new coffee brand will soon take its place.
In an Instagram post a few weeks ago, Allue Hortaleza, one of the Philippine partners of % Arabica, shared that their dream is to “build a brand that is proudly Filipino.” She then invites coffee lovers to “stay tuned,” teasing that their dream is about to come true.
