Bonchon Philippines has officially entered the Korean café scene with the launch of its newest concept, Café Koreano, which opened its first standalone branch at the 2nd floor of Festival Mall Alabang on June 10.
Bringing a contemporary twist to traditional Korean café culture, Café Koreano serves a lineup of bingsu-based drinks and milky snow ice creations—cool refreshments well-suited for Manila’s year-round warm climate. Highlight items include the Banana Milk Bingsu Coffee, inspired by the popular Binggrae banana milk, with an added hint of coffee flavor.
The launch was led by executives from Scottland Food Group, Bonchon’s local operator, including owner Scott Tan. A ribbon-cutting ceremony and interactive activities welcomed guests to the new space. Attendees participated in a quiz designed to match them with their ideal drink from the menu, followed by a photo opportunity with café-themed hand signs. Guests were also served by staff dressed in Korean-inspired fashion, adding to the café’s thematic experience.
After the formal program, guests proceeded to the Bonchon store for lunch.
As part of its opening celebration, Café Koreano is offering a promotional price of ₱99 for select drinks such as the Classic Caramel and Mango Cheesecake Bingsu until June 17.
With its distinctive offerings and inviting atmosphere, Café Koreano positions itself as a year-round destination for fans of Korean-inspired treats.
