Coffee Plz at The Corner House, San Juan: A Weekend Celebration of Coffee, Matcha, Music & Community
Something exciting is brewing in San Juan this July as the city hosts the first-ever Coffee Plz — a two-day festival happening on July 12 and 13, 2025, celebrating coffee, matcha, music, and the vibrant culture that brings them all together. Taking place at The Corner House, this inaugural event invites everyone, from curious café-goers to seasoned home brewers, to sip, shop, and share their love for quality beverages and culture.
At the heart of the festival is The Bean Market, featuring 16 of the country’s top local coffee roasters. Guests can meet the makers and sample brews from well-loved names like The Good Cup Coffee Co. (Cebu), Hometown Cafe (Subic), and Bodega Coffee Roasters (Quezon Province), alongside up-and-coming roasters waiting to be discovered.

For those looking to enhance their coffee ritual at home, the Home Brew Coffee Merchants zone offers premium equipment and accessories from trusted names like De’Longhi, Loveramics, Cafec Philippines, Oatbedient, and Standard Supply Studios.
Matcha lovers aren’t left out. The dedicated Matcha Lane features small-batch producers from Manila, each serving their signature blends and bottled creations — a must-visit for fans of this green superfood.
A major highlight is the Philippine AeroPress Championship happening on July 12, where top brewers will compete for the chance to represent the Philippines in Seoul this December. Organized by Yardstick Coffee, it promises to be a high-energy, edge-of-your-seat showdown
