Homegrown café confirms first international expansion in Singapore

Mary Grace Dimacali, founder, president and CEO of Mary Grace Foods Inc., announces: “It is with a humble heart that we confirm Mary Grace will be opening its first international store in Singapore. This is indeed an important milestone in our 30-year journey, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to share a piece of home with more people.”

What began around a humble kitchen table is now a cherished institution across the Philippines, with over 140 cafés and kiosks. Mary Grace Cafe has always strived to be more than just a dining destination; it is envisioned as an extension of home, where each visit offers a familiar, comforting embrace. The brand is now gently extending this uniquely Filipino warmth to Singapore, with the hope of creating a true “home away from home” experience, offering comfort and familiarity for both Filipino expatriates and a new international community.

Dimacali adds: “When I first started baking in my kitchen all those years ago, I never imagined that Mary Grace would travel beyond the Philippines. Bringing Mary Grace to Singapore feels like a chance to share something deeply personal and heartfelt with new friends,” she remarks. “My hope is that people there will find a familiar warmth, comfort and a sense of connection in every bite.”

Mary Grace’s first international full-service café is set to open in Singapore in the first half of 2026. As a gentle prelude, there will be online pop-ups via www.marygracecafe.sg throughout November and December 2025, offering a taste of its signature baked goods perfect for gifting this festive season.
