Cebu is abuzz as honestbee officially launched in Cebu last Feb. 8 at the Summit Galleria Hotel. Targeted at busy bees such as the moms, xennials, millennials and yuppies, Asia’s leading online grocery concierge service first marked its presence in the Philippines last year in Metro Manila. It then started doing business in Cebu last month.
With over 90,000 products and expansions to eight countries in Asia, it sure has come a long way since its launch in Singapore in 2015. Its mission of getting shoppers what they need and when they need it is made possible by an easy-to-use app, and the in-store concierge shoppers and delivery bees, who carefully handpick the items to ensure quality and freshness.
In Cebu, honestbee has partnered with more than 50 mer- chants and counting, and currently delivers to Cebu City and Mandaue City.

Honestbee also delivers readyto-eat meals from partner restaurants like Tablea Chocolate Cafe, Ilaputi, Handuraw Pizza and SnR, among others.
