For Gen Z, a mall day is more than shopping. It’s catching up with the barkada, discovering new favorites, taking food photos, and finding the next thing worth sharing in the group chat. So why settle for one chocolate treat when you can make a whole day of it?
At SM Center Sangandaan, turn your next hangout into a six-stop Chocofest, with everything from chocolate donuts and decadent cakes to creamy drinks and indulgent desserts. Grab your chocolate buddy and let the crawl begin.
Stop 1: Start with a Chocolate Donut at Dunkin’ Donuts
Kick things off with chocolate donuts at Dunkin’ Donuts. Go for a chocolate-glazed favorite, a chocolate-filled creation, or one topped with even more chocolate. Grab a few varieties and turn the first stop into a barkada taste test. Which one has the richest flavor? Best filling? Worth ordering twice? Let the group decide.
Stop 2: Go All In on Chocolate Cake at Althea’s Bakeshop and Goodies
Take your craving from donut-sized to cake-sized at Althea’s Bakeshop and Goodies. Pick a rich chocolate cake or another chocolate-forward creation, then share it with the barkada. Just be ready for the ultimate question: Who gets the last slice?
Stop 3: Keep the Chocolate Celebration Going at Red Ribbon
Your chocolate craving doesn’t stop there. Swing by Red Ribbon for a chocolate cake or another chocolatey bakery favorite. Share it with the crew or save a treat for later. Either way, it’s another layer of chocolate goodness for your crawl.
Stop 4: Make It Extra Chocolatey at PICKUP Coffee
Four stops in, switch things up with a chocolate-based drink or cocoa-forward treat at PICKUP Coffee. Rich, creamy, and perfectly drinkable, it’s your chance to enjoy chocolate in a whole new form. Take a sip, snap a photo, and keep the crawl going.
Stop 5: Cool Down with a Chocolate Blizzard at Dairy Queen
Time for a cold treat. Head to Dairy Queen for a chocolate Blizzard or another chocolate-forward dessert. Creamy, rich, and refreshing, it’s the perfect break to compare notes with your chocolate crew. Which stop is your favorite so far?
Stop 6: End Your Chocofest on a Sweet Note at Bebang Halo-Halo
Finish your Chocofest adventure at Bebang Halo-Halo with a chocolate-forward halo-halo or dessert combination. Cool, colorful, and perfect for sharing, it’s a refreshing way to wrap up your chocolate-filled day with the barkada.
