As the owner of the Greenery Creamery, Marie Mercado is no stranger to selling folks on new ways to enjoy dessert. She'll put that to use in a new Filipino ice cream shop and bakery in Mills 50 that's slated to open later this year.
According to a report from
Bungalower, Mercado is moving her Sampaguita ice cream pop-up into a permanent space at 1233 E. Colonial Drive. Mercado expects the space to be open and selling ice cream in flavors like ube and pandan by the end of the summer or early fall.
For now, Sampaguita will continue to be a pop-up, and you can keep up with where they are by
checking out their Instagram. Of course, if you can't wait to try some new flavors, the
Greenery Creamery is still around and offering all kinds of
interesting (and vegan) treats.
