It’s actually our 4th time to feature this milk tea brand which is Juice Cubi. This is their 5th branch here in the Philippines, 4th branch here in Manila. Check out our review in some of their branches.

We actually featured their branch in BGC, too. But we didn’t get a chance to visit their place so we opted to have their drinks delivered straight to our place. Check it out below.

So we’re very happy that they opened a new branch in Manila. And so far, this branch is our favorite up to date. Why? Just look at the colorful interiors plus it’s spacious!
