Is it worth a detour, and what shake should I get on a first visit? Also curious if there's parking nearby or if I should just grab a ride.

only went once while staying in makati, got the classic chocolate and it was thick enough that the straw stood up. parking is tight around the area so grab a ride nalang, traffic on that stretch gets bad after 5.

250 sounds like the tourist markup near the baywalk. i paid 150 for a large at a stall along Pedro Gil last november & no add on. ask for the menu price first before ordering

ask to see the posted price list first, since quoting one number then adding charges at payment is what you should push back on

yeah the add-on is standard, usually 10% at sit-down spots. the 250 base is the weird part, most milk tea around there runs 120 to 180. maybe that spot near the tourist strip marks it up
