If you’re interested to know where to find the best and instagrammable milk tea shops around Metro Manila, then you are in the right place… Just keep reading and let us crave you for some milk tea fix :p
First, where does milk tea originated? Well, the first milk tea was created in Taiwan. That’s why when you go to Taiwan, you’ll have a milk tea party there. Well, that’s enough. Not really good in History. Lol. We’ll be sharing already the newly opened and “instagrammable” milk tea shops here in the Metro that we already visited. Take note of that.
Why do you keep on telling “instagrammable”? Because we know, millenials are very fond of artsy and appealing interiors for them to share in their social media accounts, such as Facebook and Instagram… So we’ll stop right here now. We’ll start in 3, 2, 1…
FLAMINGO BLOOM PHILIPPINES
Looking for a healthier milk tea drink? Why not visit this cutie store inside SM North EDSA. If you are a big fan of flamingos, then this is the perfect place for you. Aside from the instagrammable store, their drinks are floral-tea based. You can also get a refreshing fruit tea here! You can also borrow their flamingo flotie to get the perfect pic. You can also buy it for only 60 php. As of now, they are offering sandwiches. So what are you waiting for?

Finally, Juice Cubi is now here in Manila. Their first store is located in Davao City. What I loved about this place aside from the beautiful interiors is their Monster Series or juice series. My favorite is the Starry Night (160 php) which changes its color as you pour a lemon drink on it. In their milk tea series, you can order Cubi Special Milk Tea (140 php) that has no milk but has yogurt. I also love their advocacy to use metal straws and quit using plastic straws. Oops, before I forgot, the bottles are also reusable.
