This is a mango shake from the gods! Located in the Sugbo Mercado, this little booth is whipping…read moreout some tasty smoothies, shakes, and immunity boosting juices, all created with REAL FRUIT. The freshness of their iconic mango shake was apparent. They must add condensed milk or coconut milk as an addition too because not only was it fresh and sweet, but it was also somewhat smooth and creamy. All shakes are P99 -- cheap cheap! The ordering system is efficient too and I imagine it's this way since they might get busy on most nights; thankfully it wasn't when we visited. Pay first with the cashier, then wait in another line where you exchange your ticket for a shake at the front. It was so refreshing to see EVERY single booth with workers sporting masks. And this is just a common, every day code of conduct. Americans could learn a thing or two about mask-wearing.

Before you enter Café Noriter, you are greeted with this: "We serve HAPPINESS!" A group of 4 Korean…read morefriends own Café Noriter. They came to the Philippines for a vacation, fell in love with the country and decided to stay. :) The number one reason why I loved this place is because of the cute interiors and homey feel. "Noriter" means "playground" in Korean and that is definitely the vibe of the place! Inside, the space is maximized by having a second floor which is divided into little hangout spots. Seriously, it's like a playhouse! There are stuffed toys everywhere, you can write on the walls, and many small rooms for you to hang with your friends! Such a happy place :3 The café offers a simple menu of coffee and simple dessert. The best-seller is their Java Chip and Caramel Macchiato. I somehow almost always order the Mango Smoothie. BUT, the one thing you MUST EAT here is the Honey Bread. I have tried other honey bread in other Korean cafés in Manila. They do not compare to the honey bread here. It's crispy on the outside but pillowy soft on the inside with the right amount of sweetness. Yummy-ness :D Also, they offer FREE WiFi. So, the last time I was here, I stayed from 3-730PM. It was just such a chill place to be. :) Café Noriter offers what people look for and need in a coffee shop, a cozy ambiance. It just feels great to have a place to share good laughs with friends over coffee and stuffed toys. For those who are young at heart and love coffee, this café is a good place to bring out the kid in you! :D I hope you will love it as much as I do!

It's a perfect stop if you're in the mood for a healthy, cold drink. The cafe itself is very clean and super adorable with peach and gray decor.

They have reading materials to use while you're there and some plants and healthy foods for sale. They offer energy bowls, smoothies, teas, Adlai bowls, toasts, cold pressed juices, and other refreshments. Try the Big Green Smoothie. It's delish! We like this little juice spot. Hope you do, too! See ya there!

Priced right for the size, and it tasted refreshing. Nice job.
