15 Best Milktea in Dipolog City
With more and more stores and homebased spots for milk and bubble tea, the options for the milktea lovers are now endless. I have narrowed down a list of 10 best milktea in Dipolog City. If you want to do rotational tasting of classic milk tea mixes or try some relatively newer shops around Dipolog, this blog is for you.
Disclaimer: This is an unsolicited roundup list from a first time drinker and non-milktea lover, so my basis are simply the overall taste, sweetness, and the packaging since I’m pretty attracted with instagrammable cups. *wink*. Each cup that I ordered are on 20% or 25% sugar level and was also scored based on the balance between milk and tea. On deciding what to order, I asked for the top-selling variant based on the recommendation of the staff.

2. Better Brews
Not all milktea drinks that I have tasted are of the same quality maybe that’s why it’s not my cup of tea. I am really more of a coffee person. But here’s an exception. I have been trying out their milktea drinks for a while now and I would say that Better Brews is one of the shops that serve the best milktea in Dipolog City.
3. Share A Tea
For a dose of coffee taste, opt for the cappucino variant from Share A Tea, a local-based brand known for their flavourful milktea products. I’m actually pretty surprised myself how good it is. Like, even though I was on my 10th cup of my milktea hunting project, there are times that I crave for another cup from this brand. Not to mention that it’s really affordable.

While drinking tea in itself is healthy, its benefits are easily wiped out with sugar, milk, and other high-calorie ingredient that are included in a milk tea drink. So, you might as well consider the health effects of excessive milk tea consumption.

May De Jesus-Palacpac
I only buy one brand of milk tea – the Au Some desserts Milk tea because it’s sugar free. I’m familiar with I love milk tea and Infinitea because they’re the more mainstream ones here.
Hazel Salcedo
Woah! That’s a lot of milk teas you tried!!! I’m glad some big brands have made their way to Dipolog already like Infinitea! I personally am not a big fan of milk tea as I’m cutting down on sugar. But that Cheesecake Milk Tea from Kurimi looks tempting hehe! And ang galeng they have a branch in Tomas Morato – ang lapit from me! 🙂
nicolepaler
infinitea is a definite classic. Pero curious ako sa teata hahahaha! Parang tita pero spelled as something you would see from the latin alphabet or something. Musta lasa nung mga milk tea nila? and sana nailagay mo rin yung favorite drink mo per branch hehehe
Karla Nina Mallannao
Infinitea at I Love Milktea pa lang na-try ko. Pero familiar na rin ako sa ilan. Pero yung Kurimi gusto ko talaga ma-try. Yung branch kasi nila dito sa Manila, 2D yung design. Diyan din ba?
Christian Foremost
There’s soooo many options for milktea there already and i kinda wanna try them all. Ang layo ko tho. I super love milktea and super wanna experiments with the other flavors as well. I mean, i just had milktea literally today!!! Should make the most of grabfood na nga talaga. Hahaha

The popularity of milk tea in the Philippines is increasing! Every area, everywhere you go there’s a milk tea store around the corner! I also love the fact that even how many competitors they have in the business they still have their own branding, very unique.. they stand up from each other although they’re selling same products! nice marketing!
