I'm always on the lookout for cozy hangout joints, especially now that the coffee shops near our place can get full of law students preparing for their exams. My feet sometimes lead me to areas as far away as Makati Avenue.
One place I discovered some weeks ago is Socialicious Tea. It's located at the ground floor of Mavenue Building right across A. Venue Mall. I thought the outlet would be full of people because that area of Makati is always busy with tourists and office workers. But when I entered the shop, there were only two customers inside. I easily found a place to stay.
The ambiance of the shop is modern. I like the pairing of wooden tables with brightly colored chairs and stools. The air-conditioning was on full blast while the music was subdued. Socialicious offers a lot of choices for milk and fruit teas as well as waffles and ice cream. I got myself a large taro milk tea.
My drink was as I expected. The Taro Milk Tea had a rich taste. But it would not only be the reason why I'll go back to the shop. The ambiance, the cozy seats, and access to a comfort room all made a big impression on me. Although I hope that the staff would do something about the wobbly tables and the mosquitoes. read more
