Toby’s Estate has officially claimed the title of the world’s best coffee shop, and it’s no surprise — coffee is at the heart of everything they do! Recently, the flagship café and roastery in Chippendale, Sydney, was crowned the World’s Best Coffee Shop at the inaugural The World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops Gala held at CoffeeFest Madrid, Spain. This global recognition celebrates coffee shops based on their excellence in quality, barista experience, customer service, innovation, sustainability, ambiance and consistency.
In a competition that featured top coffee spots from around the globe, the Australian specialty roasters at Toby’s Estate triumphed, securing the coveted title.
Jody Leslie, general manager of Toby’s Estate, shared, “At Toby’s Estate, coffee is at the core of everything we do. We’re beyond thrilled with this recognition as it reflects the dedication and hard work of our team. We’re passionate about delivering the best coffee experience to our customers.”
Over 10 years ago in the Philippines, the Toby’s Estate franchise was brought in by four entrepreneurs who are all equally passionate about top quality coffee and have since been making waves in the Philippine coffee industry.
Marcel Crespo, one of the key entrepreneurs behind Toby’s Estate Philippines, said: “This award is a huge milestone for us. It’s a testament to the incredible dedication of our team both locally and globally, and a reflection of how coffee lovers everywhere resonate with our passion for quality and sustainability. We are proud to be part of this global coffee movement and to bring this experience to the Philippines.”
Toby’s Estate Philippines has played a pioneering role in the specialty coffee boom in the country. From the beginning, Toby’s Estate has been loved by locals and has captivated the Philippine market with its commitment to quality. The partnership between Toby’s Estate Australia and the Philippines ensures that the high standards from the Australian flagship cafés are brought to the local community.
Toby’s Estate Philippines now has 14 branches across Metro Manila, including locations in Ortigas Center in Pasig City, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, and Makati City, and continues to serve local communities with its coffee. The company also offers wholesale services for establishments looking to serve high-quality coffee, and plans to send local baristas to Australia for advanced training to maintain global standards.
“We’re incredibly proud to have our flagship café recognized as the world’s best. No need for coffee-lovers to go far as you can experience it right here,” Crespo said.
