Brewing a more mindful commute

Enthusiasts from the local biking community join forces with the Belmont Hotel Manila and Megaworld Hotels & Resorts team to kick off the 13.5km Bike & Brew community ride.

Belmont Hotel Manila launches Bike & Brew: Bringing the love of coffee and the biking community together.

As daily routines evolve and more people seek practical ways to move through the city, Belmont Hotel Manila introduces Bike & Brew, an outdoor coffee kiosk located along the driveway of the hotel fronting Portwood Street in Newport City, Pasay City. Open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, it serves cyclists, commuters, and passersby looking for a quick and purposeful start to their day.

At its core, the initiative reflects a simple reality. Many are going the extra mile today, and sometimes, all it takes is the right kind of push to keep moving forward.

“With everything happening today, life demands so much more from everyone. And sometimes, that extra push comes from the simplest things. A good cup of coffee can set the tone for the day,” shares Cluster General Manager Sonny Alvaro. “At Belmont Hotel Manila, we believe that every experience should create meaningful impact. Through Bike & Brew, we are not only supporting our local community here in Newport City, but also the farming communities behind every cup. By working with partners like Tuburan Coffee and SGD Coffee, we are able to bring Filipino coffee closer to more people while making more mindful and responsible choices together.”

At each stop, including Savoy Hotel Manila, Grand Westside Hotel, and Kingsford Hotel Manila, hotel teams stood ready with banners and mindful statements to cheer on the cyclists. These milestones underscore how cycling serves as a practical mode of transport connecting Pasay and Parañaque, while fostering a sense of community through the Mindful Travel spirit.

Central to Bike & Brew is its partnership with local coffee advocates who bring Filipino coffee closer to the community. Belmont Hotel Manila works alongside Tuburan Coffee, led by its owner Aljun Diamante, a brand rooted in the rich coffee-growing heritage of Cebu that supports upland farming communities through sustainable sourcing and fair opportunities. Strengthening this collaboration is SGD Coffee, a like-minded partner that champions Filipino coffee culture and works closely with local farmers to elevate the quality and appreciation of Philippine beans.

The launch was marked by a 13.5-km. community ride that began at Belmont Hotel Manila, passing through fellow Megaworld Hotels and Resorts properties including Savoy Hotel Manila, Grand Westside Hotel, and Kingsford Hotel, before returning to Belmont. The route highlighted how cycling continues to grow as a practical mode of transport while connecting key areas across Pasay and Parañaque.

Bike & Brew serves coffee made from beans sourced through its local partners, bringing regional coffee heritage closer to the city while supporting Filipino farmers. Alongside its coffee offerings, the kiosk also features a selection of items for those on the go, including signature drinks such as Butterscotch Royale, Campfire Biscoff, and Bukayo Latte, as well as baked goods like Banana Walnut, Blueberry, Cheese, and Double Chocolate muffins.

As part of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts’ Mindful Travel direction, Bike & Brew represents a shift toward more intentional and accessible experiences. Positioned at the edge of the hotel and open to the public, it creates a daily touchpoint where movement, locality, and community come together.

For those passing through, it is more than just a stop. It is a small but meaningful way to keep going.
