BO’S Coffee has opened the biggest Philippine store in Marawi City in Mindanao, staking a long-term commitment to the city’s post-war rehabilitation.

The grand 250-seater café is ready to serve its signature coffee and favorites in the Philippines’ southern regions, intending to translate these famously rich and homegrown flavors into warm hugs and doses of hope to a people continuing to rebuild Marawi.

With a whopping 882.56 squareMETER lOOR SPACE THE STORE CONCEPT and design carefully weaved in Marawi’s notable sense of connectedness to its community through its rich spiritual and cultural histories. Inspirations came from the Sarimanok, the Malong and the Torogan House.

The legendary Sarimanok, a ubiquitous symbol of Maranao art, lends its colors to the interiors with a subtle, playful approach. Instead of the usual furniture cover, the fabric on the ceiling and walls uses the Malong, the traditional garment of mainland Mindanao. The Torogan house, traditionally symbolizing high social status, is finally reflected in the ceiling and bar counters in a modernized design approach.

As a whole, all these start and end with a 360-degree panoramic view of Marawi City.

Bo’s Coffee’s presence in Marawi, more importantly, ensures the provision of employment and business opportunities in the area for a longterm period.
