Because Coffee by Harlan + Holden (A Review)

As featured in 10 Best Restaurants/Cafes of One Bonifacio High Street!

This is one of the landmark cafes at the center of BGC on 5th Avenue corner Bonifacio High Street.

Because Coffee by fashion brand Harlan + Holden is known to be a cashless coffee shop where you can order your coffee in advance. The branding is on point, and the place is the simple answer when you are stressed or pondering on your whys in life.

Apart from the intimidating sleek minimalist design, is the coffee any good?

Because Coffee Experience

The centerpiece of the cafe is a tree enclosed in glass that serve as the talk piece of the communal bar table.

You can line up and order from their ipads and pay using your credit card.

Best to download the Harlan + Holden Coffee app so that you can order in advance and pick it up within 30 minutes.

I loved their cold house blend sea salt latte (₱140) and the coffee was served with the accompanying coffee aroma and a smile.

My favorite milk tea—loose leaf almond milk tea, iced/cold (₱85) + boba (₱15)— because of its healthier and cleaner taste.

The self-service counter provided the cup covers, stirrers, additional sugar and water which made their operation efficient.

The pastries in the counter looked dry, and you might want to get some healthy snacks to go along your with your coffee.

It was a nice place to hang out, and there were outlets so you could do your work. It just felt like an aquarium from the outside.

 


Final Thoughts

We love the concept—very efficient—and service is very helpful. I like my coffee or tea for dessert so the sea salt latte or loose leaf almond milk is our favorite.

Best to order from the Harlan + Holden Coffee’s app available on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

It’s a great place to have a quick meet up with friends on 5th ave or a quick catch up on work with inspiring interiors.

Congrats to Harlan + Holden BGC team for the awesome Because Coffee concept!
