% Arabica Manila Mitsukoshi BGC in Metro Manila

"Tried % Arabica on their second coming to the Philippines through their Mitsukoshi branch. The bright lights and minimalist interiors made it look like a common area inside a space cruiser. Reflective of their minimalist aesthetic is their menu. I settled with a cup of Matcha Latte as it was already late and it was the type of Matcha latte Im into. Creamy and not overly sweet nor medicinal. Service was fairly quick and the crew were friendly but the seats were not as the lack of backrest did not help my already tired back that day but I get its part of the aesthetics. I will definitely be back to try their famous coffee."

"Roasted on site! Everything was appealing to me. From the rich aroma to the beautiful custom Espresso machine, everything was appealing. The place was a narrow space but just enough seating for my 11:00 am visit. It's not really a place spend hours and kick back. More like a Coffee station and I'm completely fine with that. Staff were friendly and worked fast to deliver my cup of happiness. Note: the food rating above is for the coffee. Enjoy~"

"I stumbled across % Arabica completely by accident while staying just across the road—and I’m so glad I did. What started as a casual coffee run turned into a daily ritual. Since discovering it here in Manila, I’ve now made it a habit to seek out % Arabica locations in every city I visit. They’ve officially got me hooked. The shop itself is sleek, minimalist, and beautifully designed, with an open layout and a futuristic coffee lab vibe. You can actually see the beans being roasted behind glass, which makes the whole experience feel premium and intentional. Every detail is polished—from the machines to the serving stations—and the staff were friendly and efficient even during busy times. The coffee? Absolutely top-notch. Smooth, rich, and expertly brewed. I ended up visiting three times over my last two days in Manila. Whether hot or iced, every cup was consistent and delicious. They also have a range of beans to choose from if you’re after something specific. I’ve bought their beans in shops across Asia because sadly we don’t have % Arabica in Australia (yet!). But when they do arrive, I’ll be first in line. This spot is a must-visit for any coffee lover in BGC. Sunday. 10 AM–10 PM Monday. 11 AM–10 PM Tuesday. 11 AM–10 PM Wednesday 11 AM–10 PM Thursday. 11 AM–10 PM Friday 11 AM–10 PM Saturday. 10 AM–10 PM"

"One of my favorite coffee places in BGC. I'm not a big coffee connoisseur, but as long as the taste isn't muted by the milk, and they didn't overdo the roasting of the beans (doesn't taste burnt), I am good with that, I have never experienced that here fortunately, I've also tried their branch near One Bonifacio. Both serve consistent coffee . The ambience is also very futuristic and minimalist, so it's quite relaxing, and gives of very chill vibes."

"If you’re a coffee enthusiast with a taste for premium blends, %Arabica at Mitsukoshi Mall is worth the visit. The minimalist interiors are sleek and calming — very on-brand with Japanese aesthetics. The coffee? Bold, strong, and expertly crafted. You can really taste the quality, with some ingredients flown in directly from Japan. There’s a signature sugar syrup available, so you can tweak your drink exactly to your liking. Prices are on the higher end, but you’re paying for the full experience: imported ingredients, attention to detail, and a beautiful space to enjoy it all. Great for a quiet coffee break, catch-up session, or if you just want to treat yourself to something a little more refined."

"Minimalist coffee shop interiors that serves excellent coffee. They will get you with that heavenly coffee scent just as you approach the store. Seats are mostly stools in a long row in front of the mirror so staying too long might not be comfortable."
