I published a blog post on %ARABICA coffee shop in Manila, Philippines, titled “%Arabica Kyoto In Manila Philippines” almost a year ago in February 2020. It feels like a life time ago since it was before the whole world changed due to the pandemic. It was still the time my kids went to school in person and we walked around without masks. How world has changed since then!
This time, I would like to show you another %ARABICA that opened in BGC Manila. There are 3 %ARABICA locations in Manila at the moment: 1 in Ortigas and 2 shops in BGC. Can you guess how many Arabica coffee shops exist in Japan, the country of origin of %ARABICA? FOUR! Here is the fun fact. There is none in Tokyo!
Anyways, I asked my friend to go to the new %ARABICA store on McKinley in BGC, Manila with me. Ever since I saw photos of the new % ARABICA Manila 257 McKinley online, I’ve wanted to see the new design of the shop. The design reminded me of the interior design of % ARABICA Kuwait Abu Al Hasaniya that I have seen online. You can see more photos of this store on designboom. I was very excited to see the McKinley store myself. It was as beautiful as I imagined. I only had my cell phone camera, so all my photos were taken on my phone. They may not do justice, but hopefully you can grasp the beauty of this store through them on this blog post.

My beautiful friend modeled for me in the store. Fun!
