FARMACY is a soda fountain and homemade ice cream spin-off shop from the Wild Flour group. It’s a throwback to the turn of the 19th century, when people thought that carbonated water was a cure-all and when soda made its way into pop culture.
They offer a healthy dose of deliciousness for foodies looking for a happy ending.
We brought the boys for an ice cream and dessert treat at Farmacy, and here’s our experience…

Farmacy Menu: Ice Cream, Milk Shake, Sundaes, Soda, Cold Drinks | Hot drinks, Local Draft, Bottled Beers, Local Craft, Organic Tea
The highlight of the interiors is the long dessert bar counter with the antique medicine cabinet.
They make the ice cream in-house, at the far end of the restaurant.
The boys had fun tasting all the flavors they liked with the small silver spoons, and then shooting the used ones into the dirty spoon jar afterwards.
A simple, eco-friendly approach to tasting that every ice cream shop should adapt.
Mango Sorbet Single Scoop (P130 +10% service charge)
The sorbet is very smooth and not icy, with actual flavors of fruit that you can taste.
Calamansi Sorbet (P130 +10% service charge) + Cone (P10)
Aidan wanted calamansi for some reason. He was happy with his ice cream choice that came in a cone.
The ambiance, designed by Lara Fernandez-Barrios, elevates the experience of eating ice cream and desserts.
Homemade Gingerale Soda (P155 – Large +10% service charge)
My ginger ale with bubbles was just OK.
Hazelnut Single Scoop (P130)
You can order a single scoop of ice cream for take out in a small cup. I was disappointed to see that the servers didn’t wear gloves and their bare hands were in contact with the ice cream from time to time.
You can also order a pint of any ice cream flavor to go for P350.
Pistachio Milkshake (P265) + Malted Milk (P25)
You can turn any ice cream into a milkshake with add-ons like malted milk. This was good!
Hot Fudge (P280 +10% service charge)
The classic sundae was decadent, and each individual ingredient was good on its own.
They don’t have any meals at the moment. They only have cookies and donuts, which can be used for ice cream sandwiches or as add-ons to the sundae.
I love this homegrown soda fountain and homemade ice cream shop concept that isn’t your usual colorful shop for kids. Its main target are adults and elevates the dessert experience in Manila.
The ice cream is just OK, but their dessert concoctions of milkshakes and sundaes are worth the visit and extra calories. Budget about P300 per kid and the kid-at-heart.
Overall, a great after-dinner hang out and dessert bar place in the BGC area.
Congratulations to the Wild Flour group for another winning concept!

P.S. Farmacy is located where da.u.de used to be, beside the Tokyo Tokyo next to Wild Flour.
i hope they use plastic gloves in serving and preparing their products for health concerns.
i judge an ice cream place by its chocolate and vanilla ice cream, i’ll visit this place this weekend
I’m always up for a good glass of milkshakes or a pint of ice cream, so I’ll probably visit this Farmacy soon since it’s just a few steps away from my office. Ice cream is a gift from heaven.
I wonder why they named it Farmacy though, any ideas?
Judge an ice cream place by it’s strawberry flavor which is the most difficult flavor to make. If it tastes like a nesquick, strawberry jam, compote then it’s an epic fail. Also, judge it by it’s texture.
They named it Farmacy because Laboratory is already out there.
Is this a franchise? There’s a Farmacy ice cream & Soda Fountain in Brooklyn.
