For many Filipinos, Mary Grace Café isn’t just a place to eat. It’s where we slow down, reconnect and enjoy the familiar comfort of ensaymadas, cheese rolls and warm meals that remind us of home. As the brand nears its 30th year, this well-loved café is opening a new chapter that hits close to the heart of every Filipino abroad. Mary Grace has officially confirmed its first-ever international expansion, and it’s landing in Singapore.
A Milestone Three Decades in the Making
What started as a simple home baking endeavor at Mary Grace Dimacali’s kitchen table has grown into a nationwide favorite. With more than 140 cafés and kiosks today, the brand has become synonymous with comforting Filipino hospitality.
Dimacali, who serves as Founder, President and CEO of Mary Grace Foods Inc., shared this meaningful milestone in a heartfelt message. She expressed that opening in Singapore feels like a blessing and a natural next step in their journey. As she put it, they are grateful for the chance to share “a piece of home” with a new community.
Bringing Filipino Warmth to Singapore
True to its philosophy of creating “The Goodness of Home,” Mary Grace Café aims to recreate the same sense of warmth abroad. The upcoming Singapore café is envisioned as a welcoming space for both Filipinos and locals who want to experience comforting flavors and heartfelt service.
The brand hopes to serve as a home away from home for OFWs and Filipino families living in Singapore, offering a familiar place to gather, celebrate and unwind. It’s also a lovely introduction for Singaporeans who are curious about Filipino baked goods and cuisine.
Signature Favorites Travel Overseas
Visitors can expect the same carefully crafted favorites that have defined Mary Grace for years. The café will serve:
- Their iconic Ensaymadas
- The bestselling Cheese Rolls
- Classic Filipino meals prepared with quality, wholesome ingredients
Each dish is meant to deliver the same warmth, care and nostalgia that loyal customers cherish in the Philippines. The brand hopes its new location will inspire the same shared moments that have made it a beloved dining spot here at home.
A Founder’s Personal Reflection
Dimacali also shared that she never imagined her humble baked creations would one day reach other countries. She spoke of the Singapore opening as a deeply personal journey and hopes guests will feel a sense of connection and comfort with every bite.
Soft Launch Through Online Pop-Ups
Before the physical café opens in the first half of 2026, Mary Grace will offer a sneak peek through online pop-ups at www.marygracecafe.sg throughout November and December 2025. Fans in Singapore will be able to order select baked goods, making them perfect treats for the holiday season.
Mary Grace’s expansion feels like a collective win for Filipinos everywhere. It’s a reminder of how far homegrown brands can go while still staying true to their roots. Whether you’re in Manila, Cebu or soon in Singapore, that familiar Mary Grace warmth will always be within reach.
