MANILA, Philippines (Mar 2026) — Your next coffee run might come with familiar faces, as 7-Eleven taps a new trio of young stars to make daily caffeine breaks a little more fun.
Miguel Tanfelix and Cassy Legaspi have joined Darren Espanto as the newest ambassadors of City Cafe, forming what the brand calls its “Next-Gen Coffee Besties.” The group brings a mix of energy and relatability aimed at everyday Filipinos looking for a quick and affordable pick-me-up.
Coffee that fits any routine
City Cafe has long positioned itself as a go-to option for busy Pinoys. Drinks start at PHP 35 (approx. $0.60), making it one of the more accessible coffee options nationwide.
Customers can choose from a range of hot or iced drinks in different sizes, including brewed coffee, French Vanilla, Mochaccino, Spanish Latte, and even hot chocolate. All beverages are made with 100% Arabica beans, with optional flavored syrups like hazelnut or caramel for an additional PHP 10 (approx. $0.18).
For Miguel, convenience is a big part of the appeal. He described the brand as something like a dependable friend that is always nearby, thanks to the wide network of 7-Eleven stores.
More than just coffee, it is about connection
Cassy Legaspi highlighted how coffee can bring people together, especially among friends. She said being part of the campaign reflects how small, everyday moments like grabbing a drink can turn into meaningful bonding experiences.
The trio even shares a favorite: French Vanilla, which they say gives them the boost they need to power through packed schedules.
Darren Espanto, meanwhile, pointed to simplicity and accessibility as key reasons why City Cafe resonates with so many. He noted that the brand is easy to enjoy for students, office workers, or anyone on the go.
A limited-time deal for your barkada
To celebrate the new campaign, City Cafe is offering a “Gotchu, Bestie!” 2+1 promo. Customers who buy two iced coffee drinks or medium hot beverages can get a third one of the same variant for free.
The offer runs until March 31, 2026, making it a good excuse to grab your friends and turn a simple coffee run into a mini hangout.
For now, it is clear that 7-Eleven is doubling down on making coffee not just affordable, but also a shared everyday experience for Filipinos on the move.
