One of the OG BTS-themed cafes here in the Philippines is the OT7 Purple Cafe in Pampanga. Of course, this is on my list even though it is the last one we’re able to visit since it is a bit far. Drove 3 hours from Manila because we couldn’t accept the fact that my sister already went here without us. Haha.
When we arrived, the cafe was still closed since they open at 11 am. One of their staff immediately went outside and informed us to wait just a little bit.
We just waited a bit and they already let us in even though it was not yet 11 am. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were ready to get our orders but we are not. There are TOO MANY things to see inside and outside the cafe. TOO MANY that we cannot decide where to go or look first.
While ordering, I told the staff that she can come back later since we cannot decide yet and that she might get confused with us. She smiled at me and said that it was okay and that we can take our time ordering while she wait. This is very rare in my experience and it seems like they are used to ARMYs like us who cannot decide yet. She also answered our questions patiently.
As for their menu, they offer quite a lot from Korean food, pasta dishes, buffalo wings, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and of course, dessert! Aside from that they also offer Unlimited Samgyupsal for as low as Php 249. The price can go up to Php 449 depending on your choice.
Spoiler alert, all the food we’ve tried is delicious! Well, this was quite expected since they are located in the Culinary Capital of the Philippines.
Creamy Pesto
Food serving are huge. Just look at that plate full of pasta!
Their Pesto was thick and rich in flavor! Super love a good pesto!
Price: Php 250
Table for: 1
Food Rating: 5/5
Beef Bulgogi
We thought this was only good for 1 and got surprised when they served this. We just assumed and did not ask the staff. Not complaining since this was so good! Definitely one of the best Beef Bulgogi we had! We just ordered rice to eat with this. Super yum and I would highly recommend that you try this especially if you love a good bulgogi.
Price: Php 285
Table for: 2-3

Tteokboki Fishcake Vegetables
Not really a fan of tteokboki since I don’t like it if it’s super chewy. This one is not super chewy, just right for us, and definitely delicious too! I hope all tteokboki’s are like this. We immediately devoured this!
Price: Php 190
Table for: 3-4
Food Rating: 5/5
Chicken Steak
Another rice meal that you should try! Chicken was tender and delicious served with corn on the side.
Price: Php 295

For the drinks, they also have a wide variety including fruit shakes, hot and iced coffee, matcha, hot chocolate, frappe, non-coffee drinks, and refreshing BT21 drinks.
Iced Drinks
We tried their Dirty Matcha, Matcha, and Caramel Iced.
If you like creamy dirty matcha, you should try this one. It costs Php 175. This is good but I prefer a not-so-creamy matcha and strong matcha flavor thus the rating of 3/5. Their matcha on the other hand costs Php 170 and is less creamy than their dirty matcha that’s why we like this better. Our rating for this one is 3.5/5. As for the Caramel Iced, it cost Php 170 as well. Our cousin ordered this and he rated it 4/5. He said that it tastes good too.
Chimmy Lychee and Mang Grapes
If you prefer refreshing drinks over coffee/tea, try these soda-based drinks. It has different flavors and is named after BT21. Others are Rj Milky Mango, Koya Blue Raspberry, Shooky Chocolate, Tata Watermelon, and Cooky Cherry. Cute names!
For the drink, it’s your typical soda-based drink with different flavors but definitely refreshing!
Price: Php 175
Table for: 1

Overall Rating
Traveling to dine here is definitely worth it! Among the BTS-themed cafes we’ve visited, this is the biggest and has the most BTS merchandise and standees.
Super duper-friendly and accommodating staff. The place is really ARMY heaven! This is where we saw the complete Artist-Made Collection by BTS!
All the food we ordered was delicious and we highly recommend trying their Beef Bulgogi. The drinks were okay plus they offer quite a variety. My cousin recommends their Caramel Iced. Perhaps their coffee is good? Let us know in the comment section if you have tried it!
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Value for Money: 5/5

One-Stop Shop
Aside from serving food, OT7 Purple Cafe is like a one-stop shop as they also offer OT7 Purple Cafe Carwash and of course, there are BTS budols at their Magic Shop.
Ready your wallets when you enter their Magic Shop!
There are lots of budol-worthy BTS and BT21 merchandise. They have both official and unofficial merchandise.
ARMY Events and Reservations
OT7 Purple Cafe accepts walk-ins, no reservation is needed. Their place is huge so, I think there will be no problem. To be sure, especially if you are coming from a far location, check their social media accounts to know if they are open or have special events.
They have a parking space in front of the cafe and this cafe is pet-friendly too!
Their location is easy to navigate using Waze and Google Maps. Just search for OT7 Purple Cafe and you won’t get lost for sure!
