Tealive Now Open at Dona Soledad

Tealive is now open at Shell Dona Soledad (the one near France)! They opened last April 2, 2025 and is open everyday from 12 noon to 2 am. Perfect for night time milk tea cravings.

We originally discovered Tealive in Kuala Lumpur a couple of years ago. It became one of our favorites especially for milk tea. We were ecstatic when they opened a branch in Sucat and would order via Grab. 

We also tried their sandwiches and we each have our own favorites. It's very filling and great for heavy merienda. Not fond of milk tea? They have coffee, chocolate and other fruity beverages.

Good news! They have some drinks available for buy 1 take 1 until April 30, 2025.

Cafe in Paranaque: But First, Coffee

We just discovered that "But First, Coffee" is founded by a Paranaqueno! We found out from a feature on the OG YouTube channel that Anna Magalona started her business at home with just PhP6,000. We immediately checked if it was available via Grab and found a branch just near our home. 

Woke up early this morning so we could try out their coffee. We got the following -

Spanish Latte and Vietnamese Style (hot)

Vietnamese Style (iced)

These two are the bestsellers of the cafe. You can also purchase coffee in 1 liter bottles. It should be fairly easy to find a branch since they now have 29 branches. Most are in Luzon and one in Iloilo City. The branch in Paranaque City is located in Saudi Arabia St., Better Living Subdvision in Barangay Don Bosco.

Cafe in Paranaque: Presko Coffee

We discovered Presko Coffee through Grab. Found it because we were looking for coffee and breakfast. We tried it and have since been ordering whenever we crave for good breakfast. After voting today we planned to get breakfast via drive-thru. The lines were long so we thought we'd check out Presko Coffee and get take-away. 

We got lucky and Sweetie was able to park. The interiors of the cafe was so pretty we decided to dine in. We were also curious to see the menu and how they would serve the food. I ordered my usual waffles and bacon (I gave my scrambled egg to Sweetie) - 

Sweetie got a BLT (he loves sandwiches) -

And the son got waffles and hungarian sausage -

We also got coffee. I had a hot Spanish latte, Sweetie ordered Irish coffee and the son got iced Spanish latte. We love their coffee! 

We've been taking precautions that's why we haven't been dining out. We loved the cafe though so we'll likely go back to dine-in again. A great find in our `hood!
