Dark Roast Coffeehouse Celebrates One Year of Brewing Community and Bold Flavors in Maginhawa

Courage and innovation always go with being darker, bolder and better... same goes with my fave coffee place ... Dark Roast Coffeehouse 

Congratulations and happy 1st anniversary!!! Woot woot! 🥳🎊😘☕️🥂

Can't still believe it has been a year since I and some of my blogger/friends went out to do a pre-taste of Dark Roast Coffeehouse's upcoming menu... 

I could still remember commending their Strawberry Latte, Fizzy Peach and their Match drinks... and oh wow, those are still a big hit as of this writing.  My full hopes and happiness go to the four owners of this fab cafe---  Jiane, Krista, Eli and JM who are real friends actually.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines – April 27, 2025 – Dark Roast Coffeehouse, a thriving hub in the bustling Maginhawa area, is thrilled to celebrate its first anniversary today.

And in line with their very successful first year anniversary, they had come up with new flavors of drink and pastries! 

Sip carefully—this midnight bites back.

Dark. Smooth. Unapologetically bold.

This pitch-black potion blends rich cocoa, a double shot of espresso, and a splash of secret potion for that smoky-smooth hit. Topped with a cloud of cream for a finish that’s as soft as the silence after midnight.
