Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café in Parañaque: A Restaurant First of Its Kind in the World
Ever since Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory made its way to the Philippines in 2016, we have been graced with creatively delicious sweets proudly made with a good combination of high-quality milk and cheese from Hokkaido, Japan.

Unlike the stalls, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café offers a dynamic menu not limited to their best-selling confections such as the Cow Cow Ice soft-serve ice cream and Japanese Cheese Cake that changed the dessert game completely.
Their menu is comprised of a range of appetizers, soups, salad, pasta, sandwiches, mains, omurice, and, of course—desserts.

The all-original dishes are created and prepared in Manila by their Japan-trained team of Filipino chefs and crew. Further, all ingredients are sourced directly from Japan to Manila on a regular basis to ensure that all their dishes are not just delicious but also unique.
First and foremost, when visiting the café, you must try their signature, a crispy flaky pastry filled with luscious Hokkaido milk cream.
These freshly-baked cream pie puff bites are basically heaven on earth with its crunchy golden layers that envelop a dollop of milky cream.

Since Japan is known for airy soufflé pancake recipes, Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café also serves Japanese Pancakes. A serving of these fluffy pancakes comes with your choice of toppings such as berries, chocolate, or whipped cream.
