When in Manila, finding a place to cool down during the summer would be of the utmost essence. But what can you do if you want to mingle with your friends or bond with your family without lounging around at home while eating popsicles and without spending a hundred pesos per baby scoop of ice cream? Visit Swensen’s Eastwood – that’s what! And the best part? It’s air-conditioned. Double win to beat the summer heat!

Swensen’s Eastwood is located on the 2nd floor, Veranda of Eastwood Mall (near the fountain area).

Swensen’s is an international ice cream shop that was founded in San Francisco, CA in 1948. Today, there are more than 300 Swensen’s ice cream shops all over the world now, including Swensen’s Eastwood. What really makes them stand out, though, is the slew of different ice cream flavors that you can match to your sundae of choice.

The Swensen’s Eastwood Scoop Off Invitation

I was lucky enough to attend the soft opening of Swensen’s Eastwood a few days ago and got a taste of the different delicious ice cream sundaes that they have to offer. Another awesome thing about Swensen’s Eastwood? The incredibly affordable prices of their gigantic and delicious sundaes!

Compared to the Swensen’s branch in Mall of Asia, Swensen’s Eastwood is relatively small. However ,they still have the same bright red colors and huge pictures of yummy sundaes around the store, the same delicious flavors of ice cream, and, of course, the same levels of friendliness when it comes to the staff!
