Sawasdee (sounds like "sah-wah-Dee") Manila! Just when you thought the milk tea craze is over. Brown Cafe just opened its first branch here in Manila! Originated in Chiang Mai, Thailand last 2017 and opened eight other branches across Thailand, 1 in Cambodia and now in Manila. In Serendra Piazza, Bonifacio Global City to be exact! (Lucky me! It's 5 minutes away from my office building! :P)
"There are several milk tea places there, Coco was there, but people are falling in line at Brown Cafe. We waited in line at Siam Square, just to try what the hype was all about and yes, it was worth the wait! So we decided to bring it here in Manila." - Darlene Chua Lim, who co-owns the local outpost along with Arthur Dichaves.

My personal favorite would be their Royal Premium Milk Tea, Strawberry Marble Latte with Rainbow Bubble and their Anchan Strawberry Latte with Rainbow Bubble! Their rainbow bubble is so good, I swear! It felt like I'm eating some flavored nata de coco because of its texture.
Just when we thought, we've tried all the milk tea brands.. I guess, we'll keep on discovering new ones and turn to be our new favorite. I can't wait to go back to Brown Cafe to try their Latte Series and Shake Shake Series! So.. See you there, eh? 😉
