Tea time at MIX Avenue Cafe


As hot as the summer sun, issues about milk tea products are brewing wildly. It's just so sad because it is one of my favorite drinks, something like a comfort food. Anyway, I personally believe that there's nothing to be madly afraid of guys! as long as you trust your mixers, you'll sip your milk tea with peace. :)

If you are living near Bacoor City, this place that I'm going to share with you is just AMAZING! :) So for all the milk tea lovers out there, check this one out! Keep on reading! :)

__________________________________________


I can't remember when I started drinking milk tea. But what I love about this drink is that it's pretty healthy than my favorite frappuccino at Starbucks :) More so, I'm a green tea addict! Given their natural effects in beauty and health---I'll definitely swim in a pool of tea :) 

Tea has shown great health benefits to its drinkers. It aids in ease of bowel movement, preventing constipation, and overall cleansing effects. Koreans even use dried Green Tea as a facial mask / scrub! When combined with milk and served chilled---there's nothing more refreshing than this drink. 

I've got a lot of favorite milk tea shop, but a friend introduced me to this store which I fell in love with quickly.


MIX AVENUE CAFE :) a shot of the store from the outside.

This store started in 2013 with a working name "ChocolaTea", catering chocolate milk tea as its signature drink as well as several milk tea flavors. But in 2014, they remodeled their store into a full-time cafe and named it "MIX Avenue". To date, they are offering a wide variety of milk tea flavors, non-tea drinks and food items. 


For strict tea drinkers, they have FRESH TEA which you can enjoy hot or cold. There are 16 MILK TEA flavors to choose from, mixed with a non-dairy creamer and flavoring, that are just light and fresh. If you're into TEA LATTE, nine flavors are up for taste tests. Lastly, for those who would like a healthier mix, you can try the FRUIT TEA which offers nine different fruit flavors. :)


MIX AVENUE CAFE Menu #1. You can try a different flavor every day!

Moving to the second menu, ROCK SALT & CHEESE category offers a kick to your taste buds! Your favorite drink will be topped with salt and cream cheese ;) On the other hand, you don't need to worry if your not really a tea-drinker, you will surely enjoy the SPECIALTY DRINKS section in their menu. For COFFEE lovers, you can take a sip of their classic coffee drinks---served hot or cold.


MIX AVENUE CAFE Menu #2. Bored with the usual Tapioca Pearls as sinkers? You can try their special sinkers! My personal fave---Strawberry Popping Bobba :)

Drinks won't be enough! You must also try their food items :)

I personally love the RICE MEALS, because they are so "sulit"! For only P 155.00 - P 165.00, you can already enjoy any 22oz drink plus a rice meal (breaded pork chop, fish fillet or chicken strips). It is very admirable that they really spend some time perfecting the breading for the pork/chicken/fish fillet.

Light snacks are also available, and my personal pick would be the BEEF TACOS (very refreshing, i think they put some oregano on it.. not sure tho), CHURROS with chocolate dip (will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth; pair with any hot coffee drink, perfect combo!) and FISH & CHIPS (perfect for sharing with your barkada).


GO AHEAD, INDULGE :) grab the opportunity to enjoy their promos, invite two friends and order any 22oz drink---you'll receive a free french fries snack!
WHAT'S YOUR PICK? Pair your favorite drink with a delicious snack. (photo credit: MIX Avenue cafe FB page)

But more than the refreshing drinks and delicious meals, the MIX Avenue Cafe offers a very relaxing place, especially if you want to hang-out with friends, organize a group study, treat your family or just meet someone special :)

There's so much stuff that you can do while inside the store. I can even spend hours and hours with my friends enjoying our drinks & food, writing notes and playing games.


POST 'EM ALL :) Feel free to write, draw and post your creations on their cork board.

A PERFECT spot to express your creativity :)

Pictures serve as evidences of good memories... And you'll find a lot of it in this corner. They take pictures of their visitors and print them out for everyone to see :)


A LOT OF VISITORS indeed :) Black and white photos of their customers throughout the years.

OUR OWN GROUP PHOTO :) A photo of us, me with my best buddies, just a year ago.

Aside from endless chatting, you can also read books and play card games with your friends. And take note, the games are really mind-challenging!


ENTERTAINMENT CORNER. The customers can use all the stuff here as long as they will return them properly.

SCRABBLE DASH.  In this game, you need to have a combination of a quick mind and fast hands :)

But of course, the success of this cafe lies on the quality of service their staffs give. And I super love them! They are very nice and accommodating, especially for customers like me--who's kinda picky and got tons of inquiries under my sleeves. They know their products pretty well and can answer your questions in a very polite manner. That's why I don't bother if I wait for several minutes for my orders to be served. 


LUCKY KID :) They allowed me to take a pose inside their bar area. I'm holding a dark chocolate milk tea, 75% with tapioca pearls.

ANOTHER CANDID SHOT :) See their kitchen? quite clean huh.. :)
