Y Tree & Bon Appetea

I know I already have quite a number of entries on Milk Tea shops around the metro, but can I help it if they keep on popping up everywhere? My current favorite is Chatime, due to the extensive menu, and I really like their Oolong and Roasted Milk Teas. However, I was able to recently try out Bon Appetea and Y Tree.

I chanced upon Bon Appetea in Aguirre Ave., Sucat. I was craving for basic milk tea on a hot afternoon and the store was the first one we passed. I really liked their interiors -- very colorful and interactive. Their main board had a lot of post-it notes from their customers, and it seems that they tried to refrain from having generic seats/ tables, but differentiated each booth. This really adds personality to the place :) Drinks were generally okay though. Nothing spectacular. Chatime's Oolong Milk Tea still takes the cake.








Y Tree is a newly-opened milk tea place in the Greenfield Area, Ortigas. The interiors and ambiance is very relaxing, making use of white and green earthy hues to communicate a green environment. Not a bad place to sit down with friends after work :)  They also offer a Rock, Salt and Cheese drink; but we went for Passion Fruit Yakult and Honeydew Milk Tea. I particularly liked Passion Fruit Yakult since it's sour (although the sour taste becomes more tolerable as you drink it). Their Hantien Jelly was quite interesting; tastes a bit like Nata but with a slightly rounded edge, a texture that's quite surprising and different :)  Y Tree also offers simple pasta and sandwiches, plus dessert.
