BF Homes has always been a foodie favorite, but there’s more brewing in the neighborhood than you might think. 

From buttery puff pastries and comforting cups of coffee to matcha, tea, and even Singaporean-style kopi, the cafes in BF Homes Parañaque are giving coffee lovers a rush like no other! 

So whether you’re planning a full-on cafe crawl or just looking for your next neighborhood favorite, these five must-visit BF Homes cafes are ready to pour you something good.

1. HungrySans Bakehouse

From a home-based pandemic project to neighborhood favorite, HungrySans has certainly come a long way.

Today, this cozy cafe along Aguirre is usually brought up in conversations because of their freshly baked puff pastries that feature golden, flaky layers, and fun flavors like the classic cheese or the more daring guava and cheese.

Their drinks, however, deserve love too! Their Honey Oat Latte, in particular, is a delicious dairy-free option for those looking to pair their pastries with something sweet and smooth. If you want to switch things up with some matcha, try their Kalamatcha, a refreshing matcha-and-kalamansi drink with just enough of that citrusy kick to jumpstart whatever you have going on.

With plenty of other good bites and sips to choose from, HungrySans makes a convincing case to come back even hungrier.

HungrySans Bakehouse is located at 98 Aguirre Ave, BF Homes, Parañaque.

2. Harvest Tea Room & Restaurant

Sick of coffee? Then head on over to Harvest Tea Room for a refreshing change of pace.

Originally from Manipur, India, this tea bar and restaurant located right beside a spa brings a slice of slow living to the usually busy and bustling BF Homes. With premium teas, plant-forward plates, and vinyls crooning softly in the background, it’s the kind of place that’ll coax you into trading away your usual caffeine fix for a much slower afternoon.

Based on co-founder Henba Ningthoujam’s family’s heirloom recipe, their cardamom-and-spice-filled Chai Latte is a must-try for those on the hunt for something warm and cozy. But for particularly hot days that require something refreshing, their cold tea infusions like the Sunset Citrus Black or Petals and Pomelo offer something vibrant and fruity for cooling down.

So next time you’re tempted to order your usual latte, maybe give it a day off and let Harvest pour you something a little different instead.

Harvest Tea Room & Restaurant is located at 75 President’s Ave, BF Homes, Parañaque.

3. OH HEY THERE Matcha Cafe

Trust me, there’s a matcha for everyone—and OH HEY THERE is determined to help you find yours!

Initially a creative studio, this BF Homes favorite is a popular choice among regulars and newcomers because of creative drinks that are just as colorful and playful as the space they call home.

Just one look at their menu and you’ll soon realize that the hardest and most fun part might actually be deciding what to order. There’s the strikingly bright Blue Coconut Cream Matcha that’s topped with coconut cream and butterfly pea flower tea extract, a tea-riffic take on a classic Filipino snack in the Taho Hojicha, and a creative twist on the streetside-favorite iskrambol with their Matcha Scramble.

And that’s just scratching the surface because there are plenty more quirky combinations that’ll have you saying “Oh!” every time.

OH HEY THERE Matcha Cafe is located at 156 A. Aguirre Ave., BF Homes, Parañaque.

4. Kopi Kaki

Searching for a taste of Singapore without booking a flight? Well, you’re in luck because Kopi Kaki along President’s Avenue in BF Homes is bringing the laid back charm of southeast Asian kopitiams to one of the south’s most well-known neighbourhoods. With comforting Singaporean-Malaysian food and plenty of kopi to go around, it’s a fun little detour from your usual stops.

The Kopi and Kaya Butter Toast is the obvious place to start. The former is a simple Singaporean-inspired concoction composed of coffee and condensed milk, while the latter is golden slices of toast sandwiching cold butter and a homemade coconut jam. If that combo leaves you wanting more, their mains are also worth sinking your teeth into! Try their Curry Chicken Laksa, a rich and creamy coconut curry noodle soup, or their Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah, fragrant coconut rice served with spicy fried chicken, sambal, a fried egg, cucumber, peanuts, and anchovies.

Until you can make the actual trip to Singapore, Kopi Kaki makes for a pretty good layover—no ticket or passport required.

Kopi Kaki is located at15 President’s Avenue, BF Homes, Parañaque.

5. Funky Brewsters Coffee

When the sun’s out, you might as well make the most of it by making your way down to Funky Brewsters Coffee! Their al fresco area is the perfect spot to enjoy a little sunshine with your favorite drink. And the best part is your furry best friend can tag along too!

Settle in, soak up some much deserved sunshine, and turn your usual coffee run into a laid-back afternoon with your favorite four-legged buddy.

But no sunny afternoon is complete without a good drink so try their Iced Earl Grey Matcha Latte, a smooth beverage made with ceremonial-grade matcha, oat milk, and bold but bright earl grey tea. If you want to cool down with coffee, they have an Iced Biscoff Latte made with espresso, foamed milk, and of course, sweet and buttery Biscoff. Whether you’re team matcha or team coffee, Funky Brewsters has you covered. Bring your pet and enjoy the sunshine while you’re at it.

Funky Brewsters Coffee is located at 2730 Presidents Ave, BF Homes, Paranaque.
