MACAO IMPERIAL TEA

One of the leading milk tea outlets that deepened the Filipinos’ love for boba has also branched out to offer its take on a good cup of joe. Macao Imperial Tea is all about serving rich and refreshing drinks, two of which even extend to their coffee products. We get a good taste of their premium coffee blend in every sip, which takes us a step closer to a productive day.

When at Macao Imperial Tea, you can never go wrong with the classic Caramel Macchiato, Macao Mocha Mpresso, and the Macao Caramel Espresso for those on the sweeter side of the coffee spectrum.

FARRON CAFE

Born as a kiosk in the University Belt, Farron Cafe has been a crowd favorite for its specialty frosty frappes. It has grown to have numerous branches all over the country while bringing a smile to every customer’s face. Their budget-friendly frappes and iced beverages come in the form of a diverse and unique set of flavors, including those that feature coffee as the star. Make sure to try their Iced Americano, Iced Mocha, and the OG Hot Brewed Coffee.

NORTH BREW

Calling all Baguio residents and future tourists! Meet North Brew, your go-to shop for good homegrown coffee. Aside from serving ready-to-drink caffeinated beverages, they also sell robusta and arabica coffee grounds sourced from Kalinga and Sagada, respectively. You can brew your own cup in the comfort of your home thanks to North Brew.

Currently, this coffee spot can only be found in Baguio, but it’s certainly one to look out for once it sets its foot in different areas of the country. For now, indulge in the rich flavors of their Cordillera Cold Brew Latte and Brewed Coffee should you get the chance to breathe the Baguio breeze.

Braving the local coffee landscape amidst the global pandemic, they offer handcrafted beverages that highlight natural and native coffee beans. Aside from the usual flavors, Brewed Buddies also has coffee creations, frappes, and cold brew options to choose from.

If you’re in the mood for some usuals, you won’t regret the Cafe Latte and Caramel Macchiato. If your taste buds are longing for something new, their Matcha Espresso is our number one recommendation.

GONG CHA

Hailing from the land of the milk tea and streets of Taiwan, Gong Cha has made a name for itself as one of the staples specializing in tea drinks. This franchise set the bar high with its quality concoctions, containing nothing but the freshest fruits and ingredients that ever existed.

The same standard is seen even in their coffee-based drinks as each one provides the finest smooth coffee we all are craving—not to mention that they all come at reasonable prices. Go ahead and try their Gong Cha Classic Coffee, Butterscotch Coffee, and Oreo Mocha Coffee to pump you up!
