Escolta Coffee Company

We’re a Manila-based coffee roaster with a deep love for coffee and its journey, from cherry to cup. Our team is obsessed with unlocking the full potential of every step in the process. We’re passionate about sourcing great-tasting, responsibly produced coffee from across the Philippines and sharing it with people who care about where their coffee comes from.

A Community of Advocates, Advocating for Communities

Our team is as diverse as the communities we’re part of. We come from backgrounds in coffee, medicine, cultural work, the arts, entrepreneurship, and even men’s grooming. Beyond roasting coffee, we’re active in our neighborhoods and involved in the causes we care about.

A Decade in Escolta

Together, we’ve spent over 10 years working in Escolta, Manila. This historic district was once the country’s commercial center, home to its earliest banks, department stores, and businesses. Today, Escolta is seeing a creative and cultural revival. We’re proud to be part of its story. Our name is a tribute to the neighborhood, its history, and the kind of future we believe coffee can help build.

Why We Roast Philippine Specialty Coffee

We believe the Philippines grows exceptional coffee that deserves just as much care and recognition as any in the world. That’s why we roast only Philippine specialty coffee. By focusing locally, we help spotlight the skill and dedication of Filipino farmers, support a more sustainable coffee economy, and connect more people to coffee grown with purpose and roasted with intention.
