Coffee Shop Review: Blugre’s Durian Coffechino

Yesterday, hubby and I had a date at SM City General Santos and he finally got to try Blugre’s Durian Coffee.  I mentioned this to him several times over the years since I first tried it when Manny Pacquaio first brought the Davao franchise to GenSan.

The first Blugre outlet in GenSan was first opened in Pacman’s commercial building.  I think they closed that one down and moved it to SM when the mall opened.  This is the interiors of the coffee shop. It’s a tad cramped and it smells really stale inside the coffee shop.

The Durian coffee still had the smell and taste of Durian but not as strong as it was years ago.  That makes it a bit disappointing given this is something distinct about the product. And a cup of Durian cofffee is really expensive at Php150.  There’s a lot of residue at the bottom of the cup, so much so that it ruins the coffee experience.

Overall, the store is stale-smelling so they really should do something about that.  I wish there’s more of Durian in the coffee but otherwise it would do for a Durian fix for now.
