AURO CAFÉ IKEA MOA

AURO Chocolate, a bean-to-bar company which sustainably sources cacao beans from Filipino farmers, launched in December a grab-and-go concept store in SM Mall of Asia’s MOA Square, next to Ikea Philippines, as a way to move forward despite the pandemic.

The physical store is an attempt to further widen their “distribution and presence in Metro Manila and offer a unique sustainable experience for everyone,” she said.

With a vision of being proudly Filipino, the space is made of handwoven material and lit warmly to provide an atmosphere befitting choices like Sourdough Pan de Tsokolate stuffed with Tinapang Bangus, and Tortang Talong and Beef Pares sandwiches.

“We want everything to be locally sourced and crafted,” said Ms. Go, referring to the food and drinks as well as the café itself.

Auro plans to open more physical stores.
