Coffee shops are familiar haunts for coffee lovers. But in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have had to forgo the comforting sights and sounds of the cafes we frequent for our caffeine fix, and instead settle for our daily cup of coffee at home.
But this doesn’t mean we have to settle for bad coffee. As Metro Manila eases into the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ), restaurants – including our local coffee shops – are reopening for delivery and pick-up.
So in case you need your fancy coffee fix ASAP after months of being stuck at home, here are 10 local coffee shops open for delivery in Metro Manila to buy your coffee from. You’ll get to support our small businesses too, so it’s a win-win for everyone.

It’s sad that we have to give up our habit of gathering in our favorite coffee shops for now to observe social distancing measures. While this is the case, we’re lucky that we can still bring the spirit of coffee culture into our homes through our delivery men who are braving the roads amidst this pandemic.
