Lotus Coffee corner at SM Snack Exchange

-

SM Makati customers enjoyed Belgian Lotus Biscoff biscuits paired with a freshly brewed cup of coffee as SM Snack Exchange brought them the Lotus Coffee Corner at SM Makati recently.

The Lotus Coffee Corner was a pop-up coffee shop where shoppers could sit back, relax, and enjoy a perfect coffee moment with Lotus after a long day of shopping. Customers picked the coffee of their choice: Americano, Cappuccino or Latte, and enjoyed the incredibly sweet and crunchy taste of Lotus biscuits — all for free.

They also had a chance to bring the experience home with the exclusive and limited-edition Lotus coffee cup, which was available for every P300 single-receipt purchase of Lotus products.

Founded by the Boone brothers in 1932 in a small town called Lembeke in Belgium, Lotus Biscoff is a sweet biscuit known for its unique caramel taste and crunchy texture. Its distinct flavor, derived during the carameliza­tion stage of its baking process, makes the biscuit perfect for every cup of coffee, hence the term “Biscoff,” which combines the words “biscuit” and “coffee.”

Lotus introduced this coffee-pairing ritual in the 1950s, which had an enormous influence on the hotels, restaurant­s, and coffee shops throughout Belgium and Europe and eventually earned the Biscoff the title “Europe’s favorite cookie.”

Aside from its famous biscuit, Lotus also has another irresistib­le treat: the Lotus Biscoff Spread. This famous European spread has the delicious taste of Lotus Biscoff biscuits and comes in two variants: Smooth has a flat and creamy texture, while crunchy has loads of Lotus biscuit bits, making it an instant dessert treat.

Shoppers enjoyed the sweet treats and the café-inspired ambiance of the Lotus Coffee Corner by SM Snack Exchange for the month of October.
