Koomi
If your family is looking for a healthier alternative to milk tea, then treat yourselves to natural drinking yogurt from Koomi! The Australian brand promises “guiltless goodness” with its mix of yogurt and “sinkers” like grains (purple rice or oats), nuts, and fruits.
Their bestseller is the Stick-On-Me Purple Rice (Php120), a combination of yogurt and purple sticky rice. You can also try Nuts About You (Php135) which is a delightful combination of yogurt, pistachio, and almonds. Yum!
For the kids, a safer choice would be Cookies ‘N Dream (Php125) which contains yogurt and cookies, or Waterberry Wonder (Php135) which has yogurt, watermelon, and strawberry.
If you want to take a breather, their Podium branch has a bar where you can hang out, and they even have a dedicated spot for your selfies!
Koomi is open in The Podium, Robinsons Magnolia, SM Mall of Asia, and Eastwood Mall.

They can also enjoy non-caffeinated drinks like the Tropical Mix Smoothie or Superberry Mix Smoothie (Php165 each). You and hubby can enjoy drinks like their iced latte (Php100) or Frappamocha (Php155), but we think you should also try their selection of teas which start at Php65 each.
