The tea is of good quality and they offer the option of 75 / 50 / 25 percent sugar. And they humor me when I ask for a bit less ice. I've only ordered their classic milk tea, 50% sugar, with pearls. It's a winner! The girls who work there are always sweet, too. Might see ya there!

It's a pretty popular boba shop chain here. This location is on the ground floor of the Calyx Centre condominium building. The walk-up window to order is outside (open air with a ceiling), and the seating area is inside. The entrance is on the left side. Strange layout. It was pretty empty, with lots of chairs and tables available. My family was very loud and we essentially kicked out the one patron who was sitting down before we walked in... sorry More or less, the menu is similar to their other shops. Mostly milk teas, along with slushies, iced teas, brewed teas, coffee, snacks and other options. We ordered seven drinks, which were ready promptly. My flight to Manila the next day was bright and early...I should have been sleeping at this hour. Tea does contain some caffeine, and sugar keeps me awake so this was not a good idea. But I "compromised" and ordered a smaller drink size. My Cookie Supreme Matcha came with a swirl of crème brulée, which was custardy and creamy. The crushed cookie bits on top were nice. I thought the matcha was a wee bit faint. The pearls were fine. Philippines 2024 collection: https://www.yelp.com/collection/DHwKzvo7o_ll8jmXFFU3KA/PHIL-2024

Sinkers also include the usual pearl and jelly. But aside from the teas, they also offer snack items inspired by the street food in Taiwan such as fries, squid rolls, shrimp balls, and chicken chops. I was able to try their Matcha flavored bubble tea but unfortunately i have had better. However their Top 1 flavor, Okinawa, was pretty good! So if youre not sure what to get just pick from their Top 10 list for their drinks and start from there. You wont be disappointed.

It's a visibly clean shop, so no need to fret about the ice either. For P100 or so, you can have yourself an iced or milked tea. I went for the Spuer Milk Green Tea with boba. Not too much ice was added even though I wasn't given the option to customize there. Sweetness wasn't extreme either. Boba balls were certainly firm, as they should be, enjoyably chewy and were brown sugar sweet. They gave me a ton too! They pretty much give you the largest size for a boba milk tea drink too; probably 20oz. Loved their commitment to a plastic-less system. Not only was the straw constructed from a hardy paper material but the cup itself and even the cup top seal was of a paper material! You'd think this would make it difficult to punch your straw through but it was actually quite easy. So practical!

I wanted something really sweet because it would be perfect for my craving and the weather. I think i got something with Smores with it in a large cup. It was pretty generous portion, too. Not too much ice, drink is filled all the way up and a good amount of the sinkers. I went several more times with my grandfather and this also became his favorite bubble tea place.
