Sometimes, the best celebrations are the intimate ones. Bonding with your loved ones and sharing good food and drinks without all the fuss is simple yet provides an avenue to reconnect and make more memories. Even drinking coffee in a quaint shop can be a way to celebrate any occasion. This Mother’s Day, we are helping you to plan the perfect date with your Mom. From coffee shops with stunning views to Instagram-worthy cafés, below are some of our recommended coffee and tea places to take your Mom out on a date.

What to do after strolling around Intramuros? Get a good cup of coffee, or in this café’s case, a glass of Black Gulaman Americano. Led by Manu Reyes and his dad, Papakape opened its second location earlier this year at the historic landmark offering their best-brewed drinks and reimagined Filipino delicacies. Apart from the Black Gulaman Americano, you and your mom should also try the Condensada Evaporada, which goes perfectly well with its goodies like Kesong Puti Pretzel and Red Bean Suman sa Lihiya. Plus, its alfresco area shaded by mango and tamarind trees is the perfect spot to chill and chat.

Flowers never fail to uplift anyone’s mood. That’s why they’re always present on any occasion—especially Mother’s Day. If you want to take your mom out for coffee and gift her a bunch of blooms, this coffee shop in Mandaluyong City is definitely a must-visit. Flower Ranch Café serves a variety of brewed drinks, like the pretty rose tea cold brew and its signature iced espresso tonic, among others. It is also a true IG-worthy spot with its flowers and bouquets on display.

Dining at Kurimi Milk Tea Bar in Tomas Morato, Quezon City is like stepping inside a comic book. The milk tea bar features black-and-white 2D illustrations, much like the design seen at Greem Café in Korea. If your mom is a passionate milk tea lover as you are, then both of you will truly love the many milk tea creation as well as gelatos the bar has to offer

A taste of Vietnamese coffee awaits you and your mom at Drip Kofi. Its first humble café is situated in Taytay, Rizal. Since its opening, it has produced branches in Antipolo, Taft, Marikina, and Mandaluyong, among others. It is known for its Ca Phe Float. Think of it as the perfect summer treat. The drink is made of Vietnamese coffee topped with ice cream and a waffle cone.

Remember that sari-sari store turned into a Japanese-style café, well, it now has a new branch with an overlooking view of the Metro Manila skyline and Sierra Madre Mountains. Typica Coffee may have found a new home in Antipolo, but its offerings remain the same. Diners can still find their favorites such as the matcha latte and other iced blended coffees as well as its Hokkaido cheese tart and Basque burnt cheesecake. Just imagine how magical it would be to dine there with your mom in the late afternoon.

Perched on a quiet street along the main road of Tagaytay, the Lula Café offers a bird-in-flight view of a mountain and greenery across perfect for the Gram. Its name is hailed from the Filipino term “nakakalula,” but don’t worry, Filipino with acrophobia will find it hard not to love the vibe of this humble food spot. For Mother’s Day, the café is hosting a special brunch and weave session on May 14. The workshop costs P3,900 inclusive of a workshop pass and kits for two and a selection of delicious meals to share.
