BoNa Coffee has set out on its plan to conquer the world, and it’s done so in style! Well, alright, they’re not really out to conquer the world—though there are plans of expansion to Makati, Mall of Asia, and China—but they sure are expanding and growing their distinctive brand, and they’ve started with a new branch in Westgate.


The café in Westgate (near Fitness First and Kanin Club) is bigger and brighter (literally—the walls aren’t tinted this time, which makes for a slightly different, but no less cozy, atmosphere), but it’s pretty much the same BoNa: the menu is the same, a lot of the faces are the same, they’ve got their own oven churning out freshly baked muffins too (not as much variety yet as the branch in BF, but I’m sure they’ll get there soon), they’ve still got free wifi, and they’ve even got the same Buddha-esque figure serenely grazing the walls. And whaddyaknow, it still feels like home (I’m almost embarrassed to admit that it felt so much like home, I actually spent a whole day there last week).

Aside from the café, the complex (called The Serenity Place) also houses the Bohemian Nation Trading Co., a delightful curio-cum-furniture-cum-jewelry shop selling all manner of Indian imports, from doors to lamps to busts to bracelets. A visit here is a must for artists, designers, architects, and culture aficionados of all stripes; it’s a pleasure to browse through their very reasonably priced collection (and when I say reasonably priced, try to remember that these are huge antique doors and adornments with chunky gems and precious stones, so they’re not exactly cheap either).




Soon to complete The Serenity Place’s lineup are a salon and spa, which drive home the whole point of their name: a place for serene days sipping good drinks and eating healthy food, appreciating sublime works of art, being pampered and “prettified,” and enjoying the pleasures of a good massage.

BoNa Coffee - The cafe that feels like home
yay! finally, better location!
iya,
yes, it’s such a great location… pwedeng pang after-gym snack (hahaha, nag gym na, binawi pa by eating! pero may protein shake naman sila, so bagay naman pang workout…) or after-grocery meal. also another option for coffee after meals, in addition to ucc and cafe breton. :)
i so love their heath mocha and kona mocha! =)
mels,
i wanted to try the heath mocha the other day pero wala silang stock nun! next time naman. :)
i love that place! it’s cosy and the service is quite good…
Please advise when South Salon will open in Westgate. We are regulars and we have been waiting for them to move already.
We are so excited to see South Salon there!!! Why is it taking so long ba for them to move in?
i just love this place! i always hold my meetings there or if i wish to work alone and uninterrupted. great service, great food and the aroma of freshly-baked muffins and cookies is just so heavenly!
just talked to them earlier (briann ans nickola). now their westgate branch will be on 24/7 operations. meaning aall day all night we can enjoy the muffins. and i love their new strawberry smoothie and mango strawberry vanilla smoothie. :D :D
also they will now be opening a branch in the fort.
cool, the branch at the fort is new to me. i hope they put it in high street… since i’m always there at fully booked! ;D
hi?
I love this place,for me it has the perfect location…quiet, not to mention their great coffee and low calorie beverage and meals. I can’t believe they serve salads here. The wi-fi connection is phenomenal. This is home.
i love bona cofee, but sometimes they are not consistent with the drinks they offer
My friend went there after dinner. It’s so cozy. I love the place.
I can’t wait until we have BoNa Coffee locations here in the US. Sounds so much better than Starbucks.
why closed the mall of asia bona branch?
I heard something is brewing up in bona! This is definitely killer surprise, let’s watch out for this!
