Sakura Hanami: Your pretty place for tea

Love milk tea? My officemates and I certainly do and we often order it for delivery via Grab Food. Our favorite is Macao Imperial but we order a different brand every now 
and then to be able to try others, especially the new ones. 
Last week, we discovered Sakura Hanami on Maginhawa St. It's really new, having opened just on the last week of June. Since it's still not on Grab Food, one of my officemates and I went there to buy milk tea for all of us who are members of our office Milk Tea Club (Yup, we do have a group and I'm the vice president! Lol). Never mind that it was a rainy day as Tropical Storm Falcon was dumping water all over Luzon and classes in schools were suspended. Nothing could stop us 
from having our milk tea! Haha!
Anyway, Sakura Hanami is a small but very lovely and homey Japanese garden-themed dessert and milk tea place. Pink flowers, mostly sakura or cherry blossoms and roses, were all around, giving the place very girly feels. But much as we wanted to stay longer and drink our tea there, we still had work to do and must return to the office 
at once so we just ordered for take out.
What we had:

(Left to right) Sakura Signature Bubble Tea, Strawberry Rose Bubble Mousse, 
Cherry Blossom Fizz Tea, Lava Pearl Latte
These were just half of all our orders. And we all loved what we had! The one who ordered the Cherry Blossom Fizz Tea, didn't want to eat the flowers, though (They're edible!) Haha! Notice that the two drinks on the right are in really tall glasses. They're one-liter sized! Surely, that won't leave you wanting but fully satisfied! 


Strawberry Rose Bubble Mousse
I love this dainty, yummy thing! Isn't it cute? We loved the taste too. The mousse was soft, milky and smooth. Those are black pearls on top, which added 
sweetness to this dessert/snack.

Visit Sakura Hanami, guys and enjoy having your tea hot or cold, in this charming and very Instagrammable place along Maginhawa St. Their drinks and a handful of desserts are not just equally IG-worthy, they're also yummy. I just wish they'd expand 
their menu to include more snacks, and I'm pretty optimistic that they will.
