For nearly three decades, Mary Grace Cafe has been a comforting presence in countless Filipino homes, embodying “The Goodness of Home” through its unique blend of warmth and signature creations. As the beloved homegrown brand quietly marks its 30-year journey, it is now set to embark on a new international chapter, bringing its cherished traditions, authentic flavors, and warm hospitality to a new community in Singapore.
Mary Grace opened its first cafe in Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, in 2006, introducing its iconic comforting, homey ambiance that has become a setting cherished for fostering meaningful connections over delicious meals. Today, the beloved brand now has 75 cafes across the Philippines.
Mary Grace Dimacali, Founder, President, and CEO of Mary Grace Foods Inc., shares her thoughts on this significant moment: “It is with a humble heart that we confirm Mary Grace will be opening its first international store in Singapore. This is indeed an important milestone in our 30-year journey, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to share a piece of home with more people.”
What began around a humble kitchen table has blossomed into a cherished institution across the Philippines, with over 140 cafés and kiosks. Mary Grace Cafe has always strived to be more than just a dining destination; it is envisioned as an extension of home, where each visit offers a familiar, comforting embrace. The brand is now gently extending this uniquely Filipino warmth to Singapore, with the hope of creating a true ‘home away from home’ experience, offering comfort and familiarity for both Filipino expatriates and a new international community.
With its enduring dedication to quality, Mary Grace will endeavor to bring the beloved flavors and wholesome ingredients patrons have trusted for years to Singapore. Guests can anticipate the comforting familiarity of its signature Ensaymadas and Cheese Rolls and Filipino meals, each carefully prepared with the same care and passion that defines ‘The Goodness of Home.’ The hope is for this new café to cultivate the same inviting atmosphere that has always served as a gentle backdrop for meaningful connections – a place where laughter is shared and stories told – fostering ‘comforting joy’ through shared meals and cherished moments, bringing people closer together even in a bustling city.
Dimacali adds: “When I first started baking in my kitchen all those years ago, I never imagined that Mary Grace would travel beyond the Philippines. Bringing Mary Grace to Singapore feels like a chance to share something deeply personal and heartfelt with new friends,” she remarks. “My hope is that people there will find a familiar warmth, comfort, and a sense of connection in every bite.”
Mary Grace’s first international full-service café is set to open in Singapore in the first half of 2026. As a gentle prelude, there will be online pop-ups via www.marygracecafe.sg throughout November and December 2025, offering a taste of its signature baked goods perfect for gifting this festive season.
As Mary Grace continues its mission to bring the goodness of home to everyone, from its familiar shores to new horizons, the brand looks forward to sharing more of this special journey as it unfolds. Until then, for those who wish to experience the comfort and joy of Mary Grace, or to simply learn more about its humble beginnings and ongoing journey, you may visit www.marygracecafe.com and @cafemarygrace on social media.
