LoCo Local Coffee: Proudly Iloilo, Proudly Filipino

At LoCo, everything starts with one belief:
Great coffee begins with great community.

We work directly with small family-owned farms in Iloilo Province—visiting their homes, learning their stories, and paying well above market rates to support their livelihood. Every cup you enjoy helps create a more sustainable future for local farmers and their families.

Freshly Roasted, 100% Philippine Coffee

Our beans are sourced straight from Iloilo’s highlands and roasted in small batches in our café at Smallville Mandurriao. This means every bag and every cup you get is:

  • Fresh

  • Bold

  • Flavorful
