BLUGRÉ COFFEE is Davao’s first and leading specialty coffee shop, founded in 1998 by husband and wife, Gatchi and Larcy Gatchalian, both Manileńos but consider themselves Davaowenyos by heart.
Blugré Coffee has two branches one in Landco Corporate Center, and at Matina Town Square, Davao City.
(It’s sister company is Kape’t Pandesal located at SM City Davao).
Established in June 1998, Blugré Coffee’s claim to fame is its signature drink, DURIAN GATCHPUCCINO, a hot cappuccino concoction that blends espresso and the fruit durian wonderfully. (Also available is Durian Larcepuccino, the cold version of Durian Gatchpuccino). It is dubbed as “the king of all coffees” (durian being the king of all fruits).
Blugré is responsible for creating a coffee culture in Davao, and leads the pack mainly because of the coffee lifestyle experience which Dabawenyos enjoy up to now.
Blugré Coffee is actually a spin-off from the couple’s clothing business under the brand BLUGRÉ. But the owners’ fascination and love for coffee led them to putting up not just a coffee place but a coffee brand. To the Dabawenyos, Blugré now is synonymous to great coffee experience.
Aside from your regular specialty coffee shop menu items like espresso, latte, mocha, cappuccino, Blugré also serves LARCEPUCCINO COFFEE, an ice-blended coffee drink which boasts of a variety of concoctions, and one drink is being served in what Blugré calls Larcepuccino Fun Cup, where the fun cup is “to go” serving as a souvenir of one’s memorable Blugré experience; LARCEPUCCINO CREAM, a non-coffee ice-blended drink; BLUGRÉ SHAKERS, variety of shakes with and without coffee, plus chocolate drinks, milk, and flavored tea drinks.
