If you ever find yourself craving for merienda, a hearty yet mini-meal to tide you over until your next big spread, you’re not alone. Already ingrained in our history and culture, having a mid-afternoon snack just shows our absolute love for food and the sense of community it fosters.
But what makes a merienda? Sweet or savory—it doesn’t really matter. And being the foodies that we are, we can actually have it any time of day and not just strictly before dinner. It just has to be so good that you can’t resist to have more.
Below, we’ve rounded up some merienda spots to visit at your favorite SM mall—perfect for when you want to take a leisurely break from shopping. And they’re all a swipe away via the SM Malls Online app.
Who doesn’t love a stack of freshly made, hot, and fluffy waffles? They’ve got to be one of the most comforting munching options out there—and you can get your daily fill at Famous Belgian Waffles. They’re offering 5% off for all their menu items at their location in SM City Cauayan.
Donuts from Dunkin’ aren’t famously tagged “pasalubong ng bayan” for nothing—they probably top the list for one of the most craved for merienda choices. Get their Famous Bundle of six classic donuts and six premium donuts for only P399 instead of P420 at their branches in SM City Tuguegarao and SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown.
Got warm and savory cravings? Drop by at The Taste of Czaczacza Cafe to slurp on their solo bowl of lomi (egg noodles and thick, savory broth topped with meat, vegetables, and chicharon for crunch) paired with their house-blend Blue Pea Ternatea lemonade refresher for only P300. Available at their branches in SM City San Mateo, SM City Sta. Mesa, and SM Southmall.
There’s nothing like a citrusy drink to cleanse your palate after a hearty merienda meal. Have a cup (or four!) when you swing by at Just Squeezed in SM City Fairview. They’re serving their bestselling Wonder Trio drink at only P299 (from P320) when you buy four drinks in a single-receipt purchase. Just Squeezed’s Wonder Trio combines the goodness of calamansi, lemon, and orange in one cup.
A powerhouse merienda of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids, Avocadoria’s Creamy Avocado Shake is one to sip on for a guilt-free indulgence—especially now that you can score their Avo-licious Bundle (two avocado shakes) for only P300. Each cup is made with real avocado mixed with tapioca pearls, mixed seeds, and your choice of fresh fruit toppings.
Make sure to stop by at Cafesiklista in SM City Lucena for an exclusive payday sale this September 30, so you can feast on any of their combo deals for only P180. Save P48 when you snack on of their 22oz Ice Coffee and White Chops; P98 when you order their 12oz Hot Coffee and Cheesecake; and P160 when you try their Pasta and Clubhouse.
