Merry Moo churns their ice cream with fresh milk all the way from Laguna to achieve a creamy and smooth texture as well as to retain the nutrients of the milk. They only produce these frozen treats in small batches to keep it fresh so better grab a serving or two before they run out. They offer unique flavors like pop rocks and mallows and candied bacon with a hint of cinnamon, both of which are surprisingly good combinations.

 

Sebastian’s Ice Cream
Ground Floor, Regis Center, Katipunan Avenue,
Loyola Heights, Quezon City
10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Mondays to Sundays
P120 a scoop approx.

Sebastian’s Ice Cream has a knack for transforming Pinoy favorites into frozen treats. They offer flavors like the classic champorado (complete with a serving of anchovies to sprinkle on top), sapin-sapin, and mangga’t suman. These bold creations make Sebastian’s artisan delights a crowd favorite. They also have ice cream sandwiches called chilly burgers and dive bars which are basically creamy popsicles.
