FRNK Milk Bar - First Authentic Japanese Milk Bar in the Philippines

FRNK is one of the latest Milk craze in the Metro. Yet unlike your typical milk tea shops FRNK offers healthier options and even offers customize drinks for the most picky drinkers. First in the Philippines to offer that authentic Japanese Milk Bar experience.

I've passed by their stores before during opening where they had a super long line but it wasn't until recently I managed to have enough free time to actually give it a go. And the results are rather surprising.

FRNK is located at Glorietta 3, Makati and is the first japanese Milk bar on the Philippines. Its brought to you by Frostfive Inc with partnership with Isebelle Daza and collaboration with Morihan. Their goal is to provide a beverage idea that also incorporates a healthier approach thus the plant based milk based.

This is not a "milk tea" shop however as where "tea" is the main ingredients, FRNK main ingredient is its organic craft "milk" is the focus and their tea is also imported directly by Morihan from Kyoto, Japan. You can choose from dairy or non dairy milk. But for the healthy folks out there FRNK also offers Almond Milk, brown rice milk or oat milk.

FRNK has the usual regular milk version signature craft milk or their more organic plant based drinks both at low calories. This is a japanese style milk drink and the varieties can surprise even the most unique milk and milk tea drinkers out there.

I've never been to a Japanese Milk bar before so I'd just asked the teller for their best seller and picked what I liked from there.

Eventually I settled for the Blue Lava Mikuru which is surprisingly similar to milk tea but is not too sweet. It comes with blue tea pearl. Its flavorful and creamy without overly sugary. Blue tea, full cream milk and dark sugar. Just the right amount of everything. Its FRNK version of the Brown Sugar drink. The large serving cost 105 pesos which I think is a good price for a Japanese Milk Bar drink.  

We also got some Dark Kokoa Mikuru which is chocolate and milk with a good serving of dark chocolate chunks at the bottom. It's very much every dark chocolate lovers dream in drink form. This one cost 115 pesos which I think is also well priced considering the amount of dark chocolate chunks they put in.

They also have some flourless Chizu and Kokoa Cakes, mahca and Cocoa checkered Cookies and japanese Kokoa Macaroons as well which will go well to any of their beverages. The place is a bit small however so expect it to be almost always full and have a long queue line but you can always order take out like we did.

Overall FRNK is a nice change of pace from the typical beverage experience and clearly something Ill gladly try again if given the opportunity. If you like something new and refreshing that isn't your typical milk tea then you should probably give FRNK a try. There's definitely a drink there for even the most picky drinker.
