[2025 Manila Restaurant] Travel Guide for The Den (Updated Jul)

#manilaguide Manila’s busy streets can be overwhelming, so finding this peaceful café was such a treat. I went for their signature taro ice ball—it came out on a sleek tray with a jar of milk, a small dessert bowl, and matching purple shades that made me pause to admire before tasting. It was light, creamy, and perfect for relaxing. The vibe here is whimsical and artsy. From panda-shaped rice bowls to cozy table setups and fluffy bunny wall hangings, everything sparks a little joy. If you’re looking for a sweet moment away from the city buzz, this café’s the one to pin!

#manilaguide What’s better than cute food? Cute AND delicious food! My Manila food hunt brought me to this café where I got both taro ice balls and the most adorable panda rice set. The taro ice ball came with a pour-over milk jug and soft yam chunks—a fun, interactive dessert that also cooled me down on a hot day. Every corner of the café was Insta-worthy. Snoopy murals, fluffy wall art, and tiny themed shelves made it feel like a gallery-meets-lunch-spot. Whether you’re a solo explorer or catching up with a friend, this café makes you want to stay longer than planned.

#manilaguide During my Manila trip, I stumbled upon a little café that turned taro into art. I ordered their taro ice ball dessert—bright purple, chilled, and oh-so-satisfying! It came with creamy milk, soft chewy balls, and a side of fresh fruit. Sweet but not overpowering, it felt like the kind of comfort food you didn’t know you needed. The café itself was like stepping into a pastel dream. Soft colors, handmade decorations, and little corners filled with vintage charm. I loved how every detail added warmth. If you’re into quirky spots with cute presentations and cozy vibes, this place deserves a spot on your list!
