Harlan + Holden Coffee: The First Online Coffee Shop in the PH
Majority of us, especially the working professionals, need caffeine to fully function, but don’t you just hate dealing with long lines just to get your good ol’ Joe first thing in the morning?
Luckily, Harlan + Holden Coffee saves the day with their online coffee shop, making it the first in the Philippines. Not to mention that they’re the first mod bar concept in the country as well!
What we mean by “online coffee shop” is that they have their own mobile application where you can order, then you can pick up at the shop in five minutes or less to have on the go.
Harlan + Holden app is already available on Google Play and iOS for free. But you can also order via the self-checkout tablets at the store. “We’re the first to offer click and collect. You click on the app, then collect at the store,” head of Marketing Erica Ilacad said.
Additionally, Harlan + Holden is completely cashless. “We’re all about convenience. We want to eliminate the need to fall in line. Coffees are prepared in five minutes or less,” Erica explained.
At Harlan + Holden Coffee, the focus is on providing a seamless and refreshing “15 minutes of cool” experience—designed for people constantly on the go. Whether you’re looking to grab a quick coffee or a satisfying bite, the café offers an expertly crafted menu that allows you to recharge, making it ideal for those with busy lifestyles.
They have two locations in BGC including the one along 28th Street and another at One Bonifacio.

Signature Drinks to Savor
Harlan + Holden Coffee is known for its exceptional signature drinks, each carefully crafted to bring a moment of indulgence. One of their standout options is the Sea Salt Latte (Php 190, Iced/Tall), a smooth brown sugar latte topped with a creamy sea salt cream that perfectly balances sweetness and saltiness.
For something with a bit more flavor, the Butterscotch Latte offers a lightly caramel-sweetened latte, enhanced with sea salt cream and topped with a delicious cookie crumble.

Delicious Dishes to Complement Your Brew
While Harlan + Holden’s coffee is the star, their food menu is designed to elevate the experience. The Sourdough Cheesesteak is a must-try, featuring thinly sliced prime roast beef brisket, cheddar cheese, aioli, and parmesan butter, all served on freshly baked sourdough bread.
