Say Hello to Compose Coffee, the Korean Brand Bringing Quality Coffee within Reach

Compose Coffee has officially opened its first Philippine branch at Market! Market! in Bonifacio Global City.

A favorite among coffee and non-coffee drinkers in South Korea, the brand has built its reputation on serving quality beverages, generous portions, and great value, proving that enjoying good coffee does not have to come at a premium.

This new store marks the brand’s third international location outside South Korea, after the successful launch in Taiwan earlier this year.

According to Jollibee Group’s Allan Tan, Business Development Head of Compose Coffee Philippines, they were inspired to bring the brand to the country because coffee has become more than just a caffeine fix for Filipinos. 

“We are excited and proud to bring Compose Coffee to the Philippines because we know that for many, it is where mornings begin, routines become a highlight , and friends catch up. Whether you are a coffee enthusiast or someone who enjoys the occasional sweet, refreshing drink, we are confident there is a drink at Compose Coffee that is just your type,” said Tan.

While Compose Coffee has gained attention for its rapid growth and partnership with BTS’ V, what truly made the brand a favorite is its belief that a good coffee should be accessible to everyone.

By combining quality ingredients, carefully crafted beverages, and affordable prices, Compose Coffee has redefined what a value coffee experience can be.

Meet Compose Coffee

The brand’s story began in Busan, South Korea, in 2014 with a simple mission: to make high-quality coffee more accessible to everyone. Today, it has grown into South Korea’s second-largest value coffee chain, known for serving quality beverages without the premium price tag.

Behind every cup is the brand’s commitment to quality. Compose Coffee, in 2016, established its first in-house roasting facility before opening the country’s largest coffee roasting factory in 2022.

This allowed the brand to produce its signature Bitterholic Blend in-house, ensuring consistency and quality in every cup.

At Compose Coffee, there is a drink to match your every craving and preference. From bold espresso classics to creamy lattes and refreshing non-coffee options, there is something on the menu that is just your type.

Here are drinks you should not miss on your first visit.

Of course, no visit to a Korean coffee brand is complete without trying one of Korea’s most iconic coffee orders – Iced Americano (PhP 90). The brand’s version features bold espresso over ice, delivering a nutty profile with bittersweet chocolate notes – a classic choice for those who enjoy their coffee strong and straightforward.

If you are not into bold coffee flavors but still want to live your K-drama fantasies, you may want to try Orange Americano (PhP 150), a Philippine-exclusive offering. Bright orange citrus meets bold espresso, creating a refreshing cup that is perfect for warm afternoons.

If you prefer your coffee smooth, creamy, and comforting, Vienna Cream Latte (PhP 160) is a must-try. This bold cafe latte is topped with Compose Coffee’s signature silky cream, creating a rich, velvety texture that balances the espresso’s boldness.

But if you are someone who enjoys a sweet coffee experience, Dalgona Latte (PhP 170) offers a delightful twist on a cafe classic. Finished with a generous layer of crunchy, caramelized dalgona, every sip offers a satisfying blend of sweet, creamy, and bold flavors – definitely a treat for those with a sweet tooth.

Staying true to its promise of making great-tasting coffee accessible, all beverages are served in a generous 20oz size, giving customers more  coffee and even greater value in every cup.

More than just a coffee shop

Beyond its signature beverages, Compose Coffee hopes to become the new coffee spot where Filipinos can create their own coffee rituals – whether it is a quick morning pick-me-up, an afternoon work break, or a catch-up session with friends.

As the brand begins its journey in the Philippines, it sets its sights on becoming a familiar part of Filipinos’ daily coffee routine.

“We believe great coffee should be exactly as it should be – consistently delicious, accessible, and something everyone can enjoy every day. From our signature Bitterholic Blend and carefully crafted beverages to our affordable prices and fast service, every part of the Compose Coffee experience is designed to make quality coffee an easy part of our customers’ daily routine,” said Nicole Tan, Marketing Manager.
