We take another break from evaluating food chains, restaurants and other dining places and just sit and have a sip from a mug of coffee or chocolate from the metropolis’ best cafés. And what better way to begin the Coffee Breaks Series than to feature one of Manila’s most patronized coffee shops: Bo’s Coffee.

Alongside its special drinks, Bo’s Coffee offers various sets of breakfast meals, pastas, breads, and a wide array of scrumptious desserts.
