(SPOT.ph) When a coffee drinker is in the south of Metro Manila, it would be a huge loss to not explore the coffee shops inside BF Homes. But we know, we know: the struggle is real when such a neighborhood isn't exactly easy to access. Luckily, The Black Bean, considered one of the hidden gems inside said neighborhood, is opening its second branch in the district of Makati City. And yes, this time, it's easier to get into.

Here's everything we need to know about the soon-to-open The Black Bean in Makati City:
The new The Black Bean branch will open at the gorgeous, underrated The Shops at Ayala Triangle, Makati City. We spotted the mall signage #BLACKBEANINYOURAREA, which we have to admit, is fun, witty, and tugs both at our BLINK heart and palpitating, over-caffeinated heart.
The people from The Black Bean shared with SPOT.ph that the original plan to open during the third quarter of this year will likely be pushed back to the first quarter of 2024. "We are currently fixing some issues and we might move our opening to 1st quarter of 2024," they said.
If anything, this upcoming The Black Bean is worth the wait because it will be twice as big as the BF Homes branch, and the seating capacity is doubled too, from BF Homes' 65, the new branch can accommodate up to 120 people. And the most exciting of them all? The food.
While you can expect bestsellers such as the café's Fish and Chips, Wagyu-don, and Pares Cream Pasta, this specific branch has more up its chef jacket's sleeve. "We'll have an in-house bakery (pastries) in Makati + some exclusive items since [the] kitchen is much bigger too!" The Black Bean shares with SPOT.ph.
For now, since there's no assurance that The Black Bean is opening according to its original plan or if they're pushing through with a 2024 opening, we can go to their BF Homes branch at ServeQuest OneEighty building, 180 J. Elizalde Avenue, corner Concha Cruz Drive, Parañaque City. Hopefully, soon, the Makati branch will open its doors.
The Black Bean (Ayala Triangle) will be at The Shops Ayala Triangle Gardens, 1224 Makati Avenue, Makati City. For more information, check out The Black Bean's Facebook page.
