Bonifacio Global City was part of Fort William McKinley, a U.S. military reservation handed to the Philippines in 1949 and later renamed Fort Bonifacio.1 Development began in 1995 through a joint venture with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, and Ayala Land and the Campos Group took control in 2003. The courts settled Makati's claim to the area in Taguig's favor, finally in April 2023.1

The estate is laid out on numbered streets and avenues, and its center runs between 5th and 11th Avenues and 26th and 32nd Streets.1 Most cafés are inside that box or along McKinley Parkway. Uptown Bonifacio, a 15-hectare district of condominiums, malls and office towers at the north end, near several international schools, has Habitual Coffee in Uptown Mall's food hall and Wildflour at 9th Avenue and 36th Street.1

Local tip: The BGC Bus from the Market! Market! terminal is the easy link from the MRT; for a 07:00 start, Coffee : Life @32nd and Auro Chocolate Café both open then.1
