A homegrown café is brewing happiness and fostering camaraderie with every cup, building what they fondly call a Coffee Brewtherhood.
On its bubbly Facebook page, the café humbly describes itself as “just a humble coffee business with a humble passion to serve quality coffee beverages that fuel customers to magpadayun.” This Hiligaynon term, which means “to continue,” perfectly encapsulates their mission: to inspire people to persevere through challenges as they chase their dreams and aspirations.
Located at the SM Food Hall, Northpoint of SM City Iloilo, Coffee Brewtherhood is a cozy, unassuming spot that has quickly become a go-to destination for meaningful conversations over well-crafted coffee.
Brewing Local Excellence
One of the café’s standout features is its dedication to showcasing local flavors. Coffee Brewtherhood takes pride in sourcing its coffee beans from Davao and La Granja Cereza Roja Farm in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo. These high-quality beans fuel their best-selling beverages, which they also share with the Manila market. This commitment to supporting local farmers and highlighting Philippine coffee sets the café apart.
In a departure from the usual café offerings, Coffee Brewtherhood focuses solely on beverages, letting their coffee shine without the accompaniment of pastries. This unique approach puts the spotlight on the richness and authenticity of their coffee.
Homegrown Success in a Prime Location
SM City Iloilo has been a nurturing ground for homegrown brands, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Coffee Brewtherhood is a testament to the mall’s commitment to fostering local businesses in a supportive environment. The café has leveraged its location to improve brand awareness and build a loyal following among Ilonggo coffee enthusiasts.
From being a relatively unknown brand, Coffee Brewtherhood has grown into a community favorite, thanks to its signature beverages and the welcoming atmosphere of SM City Iloilo, where people gather to celebrate life’s moments.
Rooted in Brotherhood
The concept of Coffee Brewtherhood is deeply personal to its founder, Andrew Canamo. It began with a small coffee counter in his office, where aspiring baristas honed their craft. This sense of camaraderie and shared passion became the foundation for the café. Andrew envisions Coffee Brewtherhood expanding nationally, sharing its love for coffee and community across the Philippines.
