A wake-up call from the ordinary
Punched Group ✹ Cebu City
How a Melbourne brunch obsession turned into two cafés, a roastery and a brand that refuses to blend in.
The grind
Same taste, same place, same forgettable experience.
Another day, another routine. You wake up, scroll, grab your usual coffee.
Work is meetings and deadlines, lunch is a rushed bite at a desk, and the week blurs together in shades of beige.
You crave something that wakes you up in every sense. A jolt of flavor. A room that crackles. A moment that shakes you out of the ordinary.
The punch
Brunch isn’t an afterthought here. It’s the main event.
That’s where we come in. Walk through the door and you’ll feel it: lively, bold, buzzing. The smell of fresh coffee fills the air.
Plates hit the table stacked with color, texture and flavor that refuses to play it safe.
We took a page from Melbourne’s café culture, where a meal is an event, not a pit stop, and brought that energy straight to Cebu.
The roastery
Coffee isn’t just a habit. It’s fuel for people with purpose.
Then we started roasting our own. Every bag is sourced with care and roasted to bring the flavor forward.

Our roastery and Punched Bakehouse live at Johndorf Tower. Watch the beans roast behind the glass, grab something warm from the oven, and take home a bag that was roasted a few steps from your table.
