Brewing Joy: Where to Go for a Family-Friendly Easter Sunday Brunch at SM Center Sangandaan

If you're on the lookout for the perfect post-Easter egg hunt brunch spot or a chill place to catch up over coffee and waffles, SM Center Sangandaan has you covered. This Northern Metro go-to destination offers more than just shopping—it’s also home to feel-good food stops that Gen Zs, millennials, and families love. Whether you're fueling up after church, meeting friends for a laid-back hangout, or squeezing in some study time over milk tea, here are four cozy and crowd-favorite spots at SM Center Sangandaan you’ll want to include in your Easter Sunday plans.

BBK Bibingka Coffee

BBK Bibingka Coffee brings a comforting Filipino twist to your brunch cravings. Picture this: piping hot bibingka fresh from the oven paired with a cup of creamy barako or cold brew. The café-style setup is perfect for a slow Sunday brunch with the fam, where titas can catch up over classic Pinoy kakanin and the younger crowd can snap flat-lay shots of their table spread. BBK’s warm lighting and modern Filipino interiors also make it a prime spot for chill hangouts or solo coffee moments—just you, your planner, and your espresso.

GONG-CHA 

When in doubt, milk tea is always the move. Gong Cha is a brunch-time favorite among students looking to sip and study or share a laugh over pearls and pudding. Their bestselling Wintermelon Milk Tea and House Specials are made for sharing with the barkada. Bonus: They’ve got comfy seats and a great playlist that turns a quick drink run into a full-on bonding sesh. It's perfect for those who prefer their Sunday chill with a touch of sweetness and zero stress.

FAMOUS BELGIAN WAFFLE 

Waffles on the go? Yes, please. Famous Belgian Waffle hits the sweet spot for anyone craving a quick, toasty bite without the sit-down fuss. Perfect for busy students and mall-goers, their signature freshly baked waffles filled with peanut butter, chocolate, or ham and cheese are a nostalgic comfort—like childhood in every bite. It’s the kind of snack you grab with your kid cousins or eat one-handed while updating your stories. Plus, the scent of baking waffles is an aroma that simply screams "brunch."

COCO FRESH TEA & JUICE

For those who prefer something lighter or more refreshing, Coco Fresh Tea & Juice offers a colorful line-up of fruit teas, slushies, and healthy options. Whether you’re fresh from a Sunday jog or just prefer fruit over foam, Coco hits the mark. Try their Passion Fruit Tea with coconut jelly or the classic Panda Milk Tea if you’re feeling indulgent. It's a great meet-up place for the health-conscious, fruit-forward crowd who still want their drinks to look good on IG.

So, this Easter Sunday, swap your traditional brunch buffet for something more low-key but just as satisfying. Whether you're hunting for a caffeine fix, catching up with family, or just need a break from your usual study spot, SM Center Sangandaan’s brunch lineup has something to satisfy every craving and every vibe.
