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.

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.

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.
