KFC

The most affordable on our list, KFC’s Classic Kone is the perfect end to a budget yet tasty chicken dinner. And if you want a little bit more flavor, you can choose from their sundae variants and their Kreamball line. They actually introduce new flavors every now and then — just this last Christmas season, they gave us Triple Chocolate and Milk Cheese Kreamballs. TBH, we want them to remain on the regular menu.

Mini Stop

There’s a Mini Stop at every corner of the street, so when you want a cup of soft serve ice cream, you can definitely take a walk and grab a quick sweet bite. You can even put your choice of topping from sprinkles and mallows to candy-coated chocolate and crushed cookies.

Family Mart

Want a unique ice cream flavor, but on a tight budget? Family Mart’s soft serve ice cream is perfect for you. From matcha to ube, their seasonal flavors are unique enough to tickle your taste buds.

A favorite ice cream shop among Pinoys, Dairy Queen might be known for their Blizzard ice cream, but they’ve got good ol’ soft serve, too.

am.pm

While Hong Kong-based am.pm specializes in soufflé pancakes, they’ve got a hell of a mean soft serve. Which, when you pair it with their soft, jiggly, fluffy pancakes, is probably like getting a taste of heaven.

Flavors available include Vanilla; seasonal flavors like Roasted Hazelnut and Strawberry Milk Cheesecake
Find am.pm at 2/F Ayala Malls Manila Bay, ASEAN Avenue corner Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, Aseana City, Parañaque City.

Black Scoop Cafe

Serving the country’s first black soft serve ice cream, Black Scoop started as a small cafe in Maginhawa, but has since grown to establish dozens of branches around the metro. Their unique flavors certainly contribute to that, along with a wide range of menu.

% Arabica

If you’re craving something sweet but still need a quick perk-me-up, then Kyoto-based % Arabica’s espresso soft serve is perfect for you. This dessert will give you that extra push you need to get through the day. Unfortunately, so far, this soft serve is only available in their Podium branch.

Cow Cow Ice by Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory

Smooth, creamy, and milky, Cow Cow Ice is probably my personal favorite on this list. Combined with their cheese biscuits and cheesecake, this soft serve certainly takes the cake. Get this if you have some extra spending budget, because it’s sooo worth it.

Flavors available include Milk, Cheese, Mix (both flavors)
