Black Boba has its own formula of stirring milk tea craze in Batangas and no one’s stopping its hype! With varieties to choose, from healthy choices to conscious milk tea preferences, fruities or non-tea based and more picas and goodies offered, Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is a phenomenal sip in a cup!
About the Owner
Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is a milk tea shop in Cuenca, Batangas, conceptualized by Ms. Diana Rose Duran and established together with her business partners.
Ms. Duran’s first love was really bread and pastries until she landed in Taiwan and got to taste the milk tea she fell in love with. Hooked into it, she was inspired to conceptualize her own milk tea brand.
Black Boba is the fruit of her passion for food and business, which is why she spends most of her time in their milk tea shop. Black Boba is the page of her life’s book that imparts the value of pursuing where you are good and passionate which will lead you to the success you have always wanted.
She is also fond of Korean dramas, webtoons, and stuff which is very clear from how Black Boba Milktea Shop’s interior is a uniquely designed artistry.
About the Business
Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is an original branded milk tea shop located at Verdan Building, Poblacion 2, Cuenca, Batangas. It opened last March 18, 2019, and is managed by Ms. Diana Rose Duran with her two business partners. Their brand name stands for the black and white theme of the store and Boba means Pearls.
Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is uniquely designed with Ms. Duran being a K-Drama fan at heart. The shop concept is a webtoon world, inspired by a cafe in Seoul which is black and white themed.
Black Boba always ensures 100% freshly brewed tea from Taiwan. Plus, it has a lot more to offer with variants falling under Frappes, Fruit Teas, Smoothies and Pica pica. They continuously innovate and create flavors that are why their products are their own mix, recipe, and flavor.
Students and locals of all ages from Cuenca and its adjacent municipalities like San Jose and Alitagtag are their patron customers. Even foreign tourists, visitors, stop by to visit for Black Boba milk tea.
Until the present, Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is stirring cups of success and gratefulness to their customers whose taste buds never forget to crave for their milk teas and offers.
Promos and plans
Black Boba sells an eco-friendly cup where customers can avail it for an additional 10 pesos in their purchase. Since the cup is reusable, every purchase of milk tea using this cup is 5 pesos less from their orders.
Ms. Diana is very proud to announce that Black Boba Milktea Shop & Co. is open for franchise this coming September. Right now, it is only available within Batangas province but does not close opportunities of venturing out in more places nationwide.

How Inhinyero’s Resto Bar started
Engineer Earl Hosena, Inhinyero’s Restobar owner, first opted to establish a Japan-Bali-inspired apartment since the rural, relaxing vibes of the place demand imperturbable features and laid-back accommodations.
However, when the magnificence of Barangay Bungahan— replete with a scenic, towering, 360-degree view of Cuenca and neighboring towns—fully sank in with Engr. Earl, then realized that a casual coffee and dining hub is perfect for the lot.
The Restaurant, Coffee and Milktea Rooftop Bar
What sets Inhinyero’s Restobar from other restaurants in Cuenca is its menu. Its offerings may not be reminiscent of traditional Batangueno cuisine: its menu which includes Pan-Grilled Ribeye, Taiwanese Pork Chop, and Taco Pasta also serves as a great introduction to a luscious, foreign and affordable cuisine to some of the locals who otherwise would be denied a chance to enjoy great food in such a relaxed setting.
The place also serves a range of milk tea, coffee, and mild alcoholic beverages with a budget-friendly 60 pesos starting price. The main dishes’ fees range from 160 to 498 pesos.
