Bo’s Coffee Club
The original franchise of Bo’s Coffee Club in Davao is at SM City. It’s on the ground floor of the mall, right in the middle of the walkway and near the atrium. This makes for a good vantage point for people-watching. 
There are now two Bo’s Coffee Club outlets in Davao, but what I appreciate with the first one is their consistency. From the time they opened a few years ago and up to now, their coffee has always tasted the same. 
They brew their coffee rather strong (even their Americano), but I love the flavor. It’s rich and envigorating — just don’t take it in the afternoon if you’re the type whose sleep is affected by caffeine!
It can get pretty noisy there, especially when the mall is bustling with shoppers, so Bo’s at SM isn’t a very ideal place for relaxing. But if you don’t mind the racket, and because you’re out to grab that perfect mug of cappuccino or latté, spending an hour or so at Bo’s can be rather rewarding gastronomically. Ask for their durian pie!
If Blugre Café boasts of concocting Davao’s first durian cappuccino — and it’s good too — Bo’s at SM can brag about their durian pie. It’s to die for! Believe me, I’ve had quite a few converts already. 
The other Bo’s Coffee Club is on F. Torres St. It’s a bigger place, in its own building — well, sharing it with Krua Thai restaurant, Metro Lifestyle Fitness and Bahia Spa. I don’t know if they serve durian pie there as well (probably not), but both shops serve excellent pastries.
A friend of mine told me recently that somebody had found this blog and remarked that it’s filled with coffee shop reviews. Well, I hope you can stand a few more of those — Davao is brimming with cafés, and I just love my brews!

Hi Blogie - For me, Bo’s in SM has the best coffee in town. I usually have the “World Coffee of the Day,” which is always interesting. I’ll have to try the Durian Pie.

I’m not a coffee addict, but i do drink occasionally.
I’m proud of Bo’s since it’s originally from Cebu, and owned by Cebuanos.

Hi Jeffrey! Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, I’m proud too that a Visayan franchise has made it onto the national scene. Bo’s is nothing to be scoffed at — it might even be a lot better as a franchise compared to Figaro’s. But that’s just my opinion.

Bo’s Coffee Club located along F. Torres St. is for me a good place to have a nice chat with your families and friends over a cup of hot or cold coffee. Plus seeing some of the hottest personalities in the city is actually an overwhealming experience. There was this one time i was having my fave coffee with my cousin when i suddenly bumped into one of the cutest and probably one of the hottest PBA player of all time. Jerry Codinera…My! he was really hot! i can say it was one of the most unforgetable coffee experience i had. Thanks BOs!

hello. stumbled into your “coffee shop” reviews. found them so funny, as i was comparing notes with you and your readers. your reviews span not only the coffee in these palces but the range of noticeables,too.
been hanging out in several coffee shops here around davao city since nov 07 since im here till feb 08 ….bo’s at torres is my favorite so far. their teas and muffins are from heaven. hmmmm. glad to know that they originated from a cebuano…bo’s also not too noisy most of the time except when some creatures skype to high heavens at the top of their voices! bo’s allows one to soak in their shop, plug your laptop till kingdom come unlike basti’s brew in victorias where you have to pay to use their electricity. what can i say, basti’s brew even provides extension cords….

@michelle — Yeah, Bo’s is a place to see and be seen
@roselle — I’ve stopped writing about coffee shops and restaurants here, since I’ve started my new blog, Davao Delicious. Do take a look!
Thanks for dropping by!
