Mix and Sip at Builtea, Bacolod's First Build-Your-Own Milk Tea Cafe

The first step to having a delicious drink is choosing the right liquid base and flavors. Make sure that it also compliments your desired sinkers and toppings. Builtea offers various flavors, so you can play around with the liquid base, sinkers, and toppings to create your original drink. For only PhP150, you can have a large drink with any flavor you want to mix and five sinkers and toppings. The more sinkers and toppings you add, the less liquid they will put. It's worth noting that all the drinks for dine-in customers are served in glass containers and with metal straws to help Mother Nature. If you are watching your blood sugar, you can also adjust the sweetness level of your drink. Once you’ve decided the mixtures for your creation, be proud and give it a cool name!

If you’re not sure of which flavor to mix, you can ask for assistance from the staff. Be honest about your preferences: whether you want it to be sweet, creamy, or fruity. The more specific you are, the better the outcome will be for your drink!

If you can’t decide what to put in your drink, they also have other milk tea options in their flavorsome menu. One recommended item is Builtea’s Brown Sugar Overload (PhP130 Regular and PhP140 Large). The establishment proudly makes the brown syrup from scratch using locally sourced muscovado sugar. The sweetness of this creamy drink would give you enough energy to last the entire day.

Do you have enough space in your stomach for the Unlimited Milk Tea (PhP199) and sinkers? This affordable promo lets you try all flavors and sinkers of your choice. You can choose to either fill your drink with pearls, jelly, and pudding, or just get a little bit of everything. Nobody will judge your taste; the freedom is yours to take with this kind of guilty pleasure.

For parties, events, and people who are on a budget, Builtea has a Tea Tower (PhP399) that can be enjoyed by up to five people or more. The three-liter tea tower is available for sharing and it includes two choices of your favorite sinkers. Gather the group and decide which flavor to get, and don’t forget to share it equally!

Of course, food wouldn’t be out of the menu. Builtea's Street Food Platter (PhP120) boasts of Filipino street snacks like fish ball, kikiam, tempura, and cheese sticks. And while it is originally intended for sharing, if you can finish the whole plate by yourself, go for it! Who doesn’t love a good snack paired with a sweet drink, right?

What used to be a dim-lighted restaurant has become a casual space for barkada (group of friends) hangouts and even a romantic spot for lovers. Designed with dainty colors and an open brick wall where natural light can enter, the milk tea shop is designed to have a happy atmosphere where customers can let loose and have fun. They also have board games, cards, and a foosball for customers to entertain themselves with while sipping their creations.

Mandalagan, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. It open from Mondays to Saturdays (11:00 AM to 9:00 PM) and Sundays (1:00 PM to 9:00 PM).
