The Best Places to Eat, Drink and Shop in Manila, According to Chef Jordy Navarra
Shop smart
Navarra shops right in The Alley at Karrivin, the Makati building complex that houses his restaurant. Aphro sells locally made stoneware, ceramics, and textiles, while the galleries Artinformal and the Drawing Room focus on Filipino artists. Eco-friendly Ritual stocks heritage goods, skin-care products, and books. 'I visit them whenever I can,' Navarra says. He also suggests the designs of Carl Jan Cruz, who created Toyo's uniforms: 'His showroom in nearby Taguig has everyday wear as well as special pieces.'

Black Rock Coffee Bar initiates IPO process with SEC filing
US-based Black Rock Coffee Bar has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a potential initial public offering (IPO) of its Class A common stock. The number of shares to be offered and their pricing details have not yet been established. The completion of the proposed offering is contingent upon market conditions, and there is uncertainty surrounding the timing and terms of the offering. Black Rock Coffee Bar plans to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market under the BRCB ticker symbol. JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Jefferies and Baird will serve as lead book-running managers for the offering. Stifel and William Blair will act as additional book-running managers, while Raymond James will take on the role of lead manager. Although the registration statement has been submitted to the SEC, it has not yet been approved, meaning that the securities cannot be sold or offered for purchase until the registration becomes effective. Reuters has reported that Black Rock Coffee Bar's revenue increase exceeded 24% for the first half of 2025, as it looks to enter the IPO market. Previous reports suggested that the valuation of the coffee chain could exceed $1bn. Established in 2008 by Jeff Hernandez and Daniel Brand, Black Rock Coffee Bar has remained founder-owned, enabling greater operational control and reduced ownership dilution. As of 30 June 2025, Black Rock Coffee Bar operated 158 locations across seven US states.

America's Coffee Crisis? Tariffs Just Crushed the Brazilian Bean Pipeline
U.S. coffee roasters are scrambling after the Trump administration's 50% tariff on Brazilian beans took effect on August 6. Imports from Brazilnormally the source of a third of America's unroasted coffeehave virtually frozen, with buyers walking away from fresh deals and trying to renegotiate old ones. Florida-based Zaza Coffee, which still has 14 to 16 weeks of Brazilian supply left, said it's already planning to switch to beans from Central America, Peru, or Mexico. Brazil's exporter group Cecafe confirmed that some U.S. buyers are asking for delayed shipments in the hopes the tariff policy might shift. No one's really buying anything, said coffee broker Thiago Cazarini. For now, most roasters are holding their breath. Brazil dominates the arabica marketa smoother bean favored in premium blends and used exclusively by Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX). That makes replacements tricky. Roasters have blends that they like to keep as consistent as they can in any given cost environment, said Rabobank's Jim Watson. But consistency is getting expensive. San Francisco-based Ritual Coffee Roasters said a 10% tariff was already tough to swallow50% is staggering and insurmountable. Some companies are responding by stockpiling futures contracts or leaning harder into origins like Vietnam and Uganda, where tariffs are lower and supplies more predictable. If the impasse drags on, more Brazilian beans could flow to Europewhere demand is strong and traceability rules are tighteningor to China, a growing coffee market. In the U.S., though, sourcing alternatives isn't cheap. Honduran offers are already running 30 to 40 cents a pound above futures, and Colombian exporters are holding back entirely, waiting to see if the market jumps. We have a window where maybe something changes, said Zaza's JP Juarez. But if it doesn't, American roasters might have to start rethinking the tasteand the economicsof their daily brew.
