Eat Play Love at Tea Fairy Cafe

Tea Fairy Cafe is a small quiet tea cafe along Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong, in front of Sikap Street.  It's a simple place-- no-flashy colors, luxurious furnitures or chandelier lightings. Just comfortable, as-if-you're at-home surroundings.

The tag line "Eat Play Love" aptly describes the simplicity of experience at Tea Fairy. It's natural-- like the goodness of a homemade food. No fuss, no rush, no put-ons.

Tea Fairy's Motto

Tea Fairy's yellow interior is adorned by wooden tables and chairs, some statement posters, a few framed landmark photographs, and a shelf containing books of varied interests, play boards and checkers and deck of cards. No electronic games, just the traditional ones that families used to play in their living rooms or bedrooms which truly enhance togetherness.  There's a flatscreen TV where customers could watch their preferred programs. Binibining Pilipinas Gold Pageant was being aired when we were in Tea Fairy.

Tea Fairy offers fruit teas, frozen teas, and milk teas. The cake bars and pastries are really good--carrot cake, red velvet cake, brownies, crinkles. And they have the so-called Neiman Marcus cookies which are oatmeal cookies with nuts and chocolate chips. Packed popcorns are available and are freshly microwaved upon ordering.

We had taro, wintermelon and chocolate milk teas with double serving of the soooo gooood carrot cake bars. We also had a bowl of popcorn, the salty taste is a good contrast with the sweetness of the milk teas.

We had a relaxing experience in Tea Fairy. When we left and I glanced back at the facade which glows in the evening, I thought what if the glow actually comes from the wand of a fairy. Who knows, there are modern-day fairies.  As if I heard the theme of the ballet, The Sugar Plum Fairy, playing.

The cafe glows, is there a sugar plum fairy nearby?
