Heads up, Potterheads!
Get ready to have your wands because The Elephant House, owned by David Taylor, is about to make its magical debut in the Philippines! Since 1995, this cafe has been enchanting taste buds with its exquisite gourmet tea and coffee creations. But here's a fun tidbit: it's not just any ordinary coffee shop. No, no! This is where [she who must not be named] penned the very first Harry Potter book, earning it the hallowed title of the "birthplace" of the entire magical series. Talk about brewing up some literary magic!
The first international branch outside Edinburgh is slated to open in Greenhills Mall, San Juan, this December. As well as physical locations, they also have online coffee shops to satisfy your cravings.
"This franchise will offer Filipinos and tourists a unique and appealing experience, combining Harry Potter fandom, immersive ambiance, and merchandise sales," said Visum Ventures' Founder and CEO, John-Michael Hilton.
In partnership with Museum Context, this retail outlet will open in collaboration with Visum Ventures, makers of Salt & Ice and Oh My Greek. The cafe has been a top destination for Harry Potter enthusiasts, and it's a great place to experience a special and memorable experience for Filipino fans.
On their website, you can watch an exclusive interview with [she who must not be named]. While it's known as the Harry Potter Series Birthplace, The Elephant House also does charity work and currently fundraising for Children International, which aims to break the cycle of poverty for children.
Diners can enjoy a variety of menus at breakfast, dinner, and launch, including teas, coffees, wines, draught, bottled beers, cakes, tray-bakes, and main meals for very reasonable prices. Also available are over 600 elephants in different sizes and shapes from the Elephant House collection customers can buy.
