Macao Imperial Tea - Santa Mesa Heights

I LOVE MILK TEA. I LOVE TEA IN GENERAL. It’s one of my comfort drinks and I’m always in search for the next best tea. *hint hint* You can visit my Best Milk Tea in Metro Manila if you’re curious. They’re best known for their cute drinks placed in their unique tumblers you can reuse. They come in re-usable glass containers with teddy bear shaped caps. So cute! I ordered the Caramel Macchiato and it isn’t too sweet, and the coffee is brewed perfectly. Delish! I agree that this place is overrated as the other milk teas that they served me tasted average. The place is hard to go to and it isn't worth the trip if you're too far. You can get better milk tea in Gong Cha, Happy Lemon, or Cha Time

Their cute tumblers for specific drinks entice customers! It's a must buy! I tried their For Me strawberry drink (while For You is caramel macchiato) and its tumbler is made of glass which is highly reusable. Better though if I could choose between black and white. PS: Loved their oreo cheesecake!

My new go-to-place for incredible nai cha. The aesthetics are pretty damn swell too. There are a lot of picture spots + the huge teddy bear (that's where I usually sit for free cuddles). Not to mention, their colorful drinks come with cute tumblers. A lot of people recommend the rainbow soda - because it looks good in the picture, and it tastes okay. But my personal favorites are the cream cheese uji matcha, cream cheese oreo milk tea, and the milk tea with cheesecake and pearls. ☕???? My mom likes it too, her favorite is the strawberry milkshake that comes with the mickey mouse tumblr. She orders that every single time we go here. ???????? Overall, it's a nice place to chill and get your milk tea fix! Warning though, it gets pretty packed during night time, so it would be harder to get seats. Try weekday lunch time, it's usually empty.

Went there at almost 12mn but they still accommodated us. We were told that only cream cheese oreo and cheesecake milk tea were available so we tried both flavors. Amazingly, both flavors were good. I liked the gooeyness of the cheesecake and the right amount of sweetness. Will definitely come back! Best milk tea so far! Also the design of the interiors are beautiful. Forgot to take a picture of our orders though.

I asked too many questions before finally ordering Cream Cheese Milk Tea (with black pearl)… and it was just okay. For the price I paid (₽140.00), I could've gotten a better drink at Gong Cha and would've been happier, too. Their Banoffee Pie looks exactly like the ones Starbucks has been selling for over a decade, and the Lava Cake seems to be exactly the same as the one you can get from Craft Coffee Revolution. Place is very spacious, but there's only about 8 parking slots. Also, 4pcs of cheese balls / fish tofu / shrimp meatballs for over ₽100.00 is extortion.
