DUMAGUETE CITY — Coffee lovers in Negros Oriental have a new reason to linger at Robinsons Dumaguete as Bo's Coffee officially opened its doors at Level 2 Expansion. The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked another milestone in the mall's ongoing growth, adding a homegrown Filipino brand to its expanding lineup.
A Homegrown Brand Finds a New Home
Bo's Coffee has been a fixture of Philippine coffee culture since Steve Benitez founded the chain in Cebu City on June 28, 1996. What began as a single shop has grown into a network of over 120 locations nationwide, with international branches extending to the Middle East. Its arrival at Robinsons Dumaguete brings that legacy closer to local coffee enthusiasts.
The brand is celebrated for sourcing 100 percent Philippine-grown Arabica beans from renowned coffee-growing regions. These include Sagada in Mountain Province, Mount Kitanglad in Bukidnon, Mount Matutum in South Cotabato, and Mount Apo. Every cup supports local farmers and showcases the richness of Filipino agriculture.
More Than Just a Coffee Shop
Bo's Coffee offers a full menu designed for every mood and moment. Hot espresso drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and americanos cater to traditional coffee drinkers. Cold brews provide a refreshing option for warm afternoons, while the signature Froccino blended drinks satisfy those with a sweet tooth.
Food selections include pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and Filipino breakfast options, making the shop suitable for quick meetings or leisurely meals. Guests can also purchase whole or ground single-origin coffee beans, drip bags, tumblers, and branded merchandise. These retail offerings allow customers to bring the Bo's Coffee experience home.
A Gathering Place for the Community
The new branch provides a welcoming space for casual meetings, study sessions, and catch-ups with friends. Its location at Level 2 Expansion places it at the heart of the mall's newest wing, surrounded by retail and dining destinations. The cozy atmosphere encourages visitors to slow down and savor their time.
For Robinsons Dumaguete, welcoming Bo's Coffee aligns with its mission to offer more places to eat, meet, shop, and enjoy. The expansion continues to attract brands that resonate with local tastes and lifestyles. Each new tenant adds to the mall's appeal as a complete destination for NegOrenses and tourists.
Growing Together with Dumaguete
The opening reflects the strong partnership between Robinsons Malls and homegrown enterprises. By providing space for Filipino brands to thrive, the mall supports local entrepreneurship and economic growth. Bo's Coffee, with its commitment to Philippine coffee, embodies that spirit of national pride.
Visitors to the newly expanded Robinsons Dumaguete can now enjoy a cup of locally sourced coffee while exploring the fresh retail offerings.
