Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - Eton Centris

I was really hankering to go out this afternoon, with the heat and the hot heads, I really wanted a reprieve from all the drama, so to speak... I called my niece and my hubby and off to Eton we go... We went to Eton with the hopes of going to Cha Time for a whip of my all time favorite Taro Milk Tea, in all honestly but the place was packed and there weren't any seats and with the free wi-fi there, we weren't expecting anybody to be going off soon... so we decided to look for another place..coffee sounded good, looking around, we wanted to actually go the usual coffee place, Starbucks, but unfortunately there's no such store within Eton Centris, so we settled at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, I'm not such a fan of the place so I really didn't know what to get... but ended up ordering the caramel ice blended thingy they were offering... As coffee isn't ideal for me this time with my GERD acting up and all, so yea...

I don't smoke but my niece does and my hubby pinch hits from time to time, so we sat at the outside seats to allow them to smoke and I ordered, the crew were nice enough and I was pleasantly surprised with the concoction I ordered, it was good and I was really satisfied... I think perhaps my only complaint is that the order was large but the size was for medium if you get my drift, unlike at Starbucks, a Venti sized order will garner you a big glass which you can barely finish because it's big and if you're planning on staying for a bit, the Venti will do just right, but Coffee Bean's serving isn't as big and they only have 2 choices, regular and large and so it seems like it would be the tall and grande sizes equivalent from Starbucks.

I had to nurse the drink so that I don't run out until the time we wanted to go home or spend more for another order, something I didn't want to do.

Anyways, it was good and I'm quite satisfied with this visit to Coffee Bean this time...Pics are still on my phone, so I'll just upload later when I get to transfer my phone's contents to my pc

Cha Time - Eton Centris

Cha Time at Eton Centris opens at around 10am, so it was a challenge when we arrived early to buy my daughter's shoes at Center of Gravity (CoG) - a skate shop also located at Eton.  My daughter, like me, is also a milk tea enthusiast and since the CoG opens at 11, we decided to have some tea at Cha Time.

My daughter had her usual milk tea with pearl and I had taro milk tea, yum! yum! yum! I love Cha Time's taro coz you can actually taste and eat chunks of taro in your milk tea. It is such a refreshing treat if you haven't tried it yet, then perhaps you'd like a try, more so for taro lovers, I'm sure you would love the taro chunks, makes you feel like you're eating taro and not just drinking a "flavored" tea...

Cha Time is more on the expensive side when it comes to milk tea's reaching into the hundred peso mark unlike other milk tea places that's around the 75 peso mark only but it is indeed well worth it..

The store has other branches, there's one in most SM malls, North, Manila for one, I also discovered one in Trinoma aside from the one at Eton Centris.  You might want to venture a visit one of these days when you're craving for a delicious milk tea treat
