Note: This restaurant is already closed.
I had a quick meet-up with a good friend who works around the area near Y-Tree Milk Tea Hub. I wasn't excited about the milk tea, but I've read that they have their version of Happy Lemon's Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese, something I have at least once a week.
Y-Tree has this relaxing nature-loving ambiance, with a small plant for each table. The place also has a mezzanine floor for a little privacy.
All drinks only have a single size, but like other tea shops, the sweetness is adjustable to your liking.
My friend had Milk Tea with Pearl Jelly (Php 95) while I had Y-Tree Milk Chocolate with Signature Rock Salt and Cheese (Php 120).

My friend has been to Y-Tree several times already and Milk Tea with Pearl Jelly is his usual order, so it's safe to say that he really likes it. However, Y-Tree Milk Chocolate didn't meet my expectations. The rock salt and cheese topping are too salty and the chocolate drink a little too strong. I also find the price too expensive.
My friend also had a Chocolate Doughnut (Php 55), which I wasn't able to try since I'm still meeting another friend for lunch.

Aside from the donuts, they also offer cakes, cookies, and sandwiches. They also have Y-Tree merchandise such as mugs, tumblers, and shirts.
Y-Tree Milk Tea Hub is a really cool hangout place for milk tea fanatics. The place is a lot more spacious than the other milk tea shops. But for the Y-Tree Milk Chocolate, I might try the Special Cream next time. Happy Lemon still rocks the RSC for me. :)

first time I've heard and read about Y-tree..the shop does look spacious, not like the other tea houses :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll give this place a visit, Zaizai. :)
DeleteI don't think they have a branch here in Cebu. I hope they open up here though. I've been loving milk tea lately too.

This is actually the only location they have. :)
DeleteI haven't heard of Y-Tree yet, but their version of RSC is quite expensive nga. Not sure if I'll be able to give this a try. Maybe when I pass by the area :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll try the milk tea some time. :)
DeleteIn Mandaluyong?! Dang. I have to make a trip pa hahaha... But oh well, if I get to that part of the city then I'd give this a try.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if this helps, but this place is near Manda Centrale. :p
DeleteI've never been here before but the place does look spacious and relaxing. :) Too bad you didn't like your RSC. I have never learned to love it myself. I find it to rich for my taste. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI love RSC, but I just think Happy Lemon's version is much better. :)
DeleteSeems like places like these are sprouting up everywhere! In Singapore, there's a local brand there that's also good. Each a cup yung name. =)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Lots of milk tea places here in Manila already. :)
DeleteI haven't found anything that will replace Happy Lemon in my big fat heart ;) But kudos to Y-Tree for serving goodies other than milk teas. Will try to visit them soon :)
ReplyDeleteSame here! Happy Lemon is just heaven! :)
