My sister told me we’re going on a road trip to try the newly opened 7 With You Cafe in Batangas. A cafe owned by the owners of BT21 Pasabuy which is known for selling on-hand BTS merch. If you don’t want to wait for months, before your merch arrives, you must follow them on their social media accounts and watch their live selling.
Like every BTS-themed cafe, 7 With You has its own charm. The owner has a vast collection of BTS and BT21 merch beautifully displayed at the cafe. Aside from that, they also sell a few merch here so, get your wallets prepared as you might be able to get that TOTGA merch you’ve been looking for all over.
Looking at their menu, it felt like everything was made for Armys and here’s what we had:
Meaty Spaghetti Pasta
When they said “meaty” they really took it to heart. It really has a lot of meat!
They used beef marinara sauce on their spaghetti, bechamel sauce, and mozzarella cheese, served with 2 pieces of garlic bread. The serving size was big and it tastes delicious too!
Price: Php 235

7 With You Pasta
Linguini pasta with char siu sauce, dried shiitake, chicken chunks, and topped with crushed peanuts. Also served with garlic bread. We super loved this! It has the right contrast of sweet, salty, and savory. We’re thinking that it tastes somehow familiar and yeah, it does. We asked the owner and he confirmed that it is like Yellow Cab’s Charlie Chan. Yum!!!
If you are going to order pasta, don’t forget to order this!
Price: Php 209

Korean Chicken Burger
Chicken burger with Korean sauce, mayo, and lettuce. This is super sulit also, just look at that chicken!
Soft pillowy sesame bun with flavorful chicken that will surely satisfy your Korean burger cravings.

7 With You Waffle Ice Cream
Waffle with Bt21 characters on it. If you weren’t able to buy their waffle maker, just like me, this is your chance to try it! The waffles were served with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream and your choice of toppings/flavor. It is available in 4 flavors, chocolate, strawberry, caramel, and triple chocolate.
We got the Strawberry and Chocolate 7 With You Waffles. They only have 3 character prints available, Mang, Shooky, and Koya. I requested for Shooky and Koya but they gave us Mang and Koya. Haha. Okay Mang, you won again. I think they forgot about my request but it’s okay, who am I to resist Mang, right? (I’m a J-Hope and Shooky bias… and Mang.) 😅
We were amazed by their ice cream, it doesn’t melt! It was very cold and look at the photos, even after a few minutes, the ice cream still doesn’t seem to melt. Even while we’re eating it. It was so nice that it doesn’t melt fast and you get to enjoy your ice cream, unmelted, with waffles. Definitely yum! Also, love how they presented these! Super cutie!
Don’t ever miss this out!

Overall Rating
The owners and staff of this BTS-themed cafe in Batangas are all very nice and accommodating. They even asked us if we wanted to take photos with the standees but it was placed against the light so, they told us that they can move it for us if we want to.
Out of the 3 BTS-themed cafes I have tried, their food is the best for me so far. Other cafes’ food was okay too but we specifically love their 7 With You Pasta, 7 With You Waffles with ice cream that doesn’t seem to melt (very good!), and the Galaxy Soda. Other food and drinks were great too but those food are our bias and would highly recommend that you try them.
Worth the almost 3-hour drive and would definitely love to visit them again if I get the chance to.

Reservation & Army Events
If you’re bringing a car, you don’t have to worry about parking space. Also, if you’re coming from a faraway land, like us, they recommend booking a reservation as the cafe is on a first-come, first-served basis and the place might get full. Better be sure than waste a few hours waiting just to be seated. We originally reserved for 3:00 PM but due to traffic, we arrived at around 3:30 PM. We just informed them that we will be a bit late. Fortunately, there were only a few customers when we arrived, and we were able to choose where we wanted to sit. Also, a perfect time to do a pictorial!
They are open regularly from Tuesday to Sunday unless there’s a BTS Concert Livestream, Army Event, BTS Members Birthday, and an Army decided to book the whole place. If you are looking for a place to stream the BTS Yet to Come Concert in Busan, they will be having a special event for that. The event is strictly for reservation and you can reserve your slot using a form posted on their social media accounts. Hurry, as slots are being taken fast!
Also, since October is Jimin Month, they are offering a Happy Jimin Day birthday kit which will be available starting October 13, until supplies last.
