prufrock44 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 ewan ko, d naman ako nagmamalinis pero minsan naiisip ko yung perang pinambibili ng mga tao dito sa mga overpriced coffee na ito pwede nang panggastos ng pangkain ng mga "less fortunate," yung mga tipo ng tao na napapanood nyo sa "i-witness," yung mga masaya na kumita lang ng pang instant noodles isang araw. of course, we all deserve to pamper ourselves lalo na't pinagtrabahuhan din naman nila yung mga ginagastos nila dito, dugo at pawis din ang pinuhunan nila para makatikim ng ganito kamahal na kape. pero, sana minsan kung pwede mag save din tayo para sa ibang tao na mas nangangailangan, hindi naman siguro masama kung kahit 1 araw hindi sila bumili ng kape na ito at sa halip ay magbigay sa nangangailangan d ba? anyway, thats just my opinion, madalas ko lang maisip yun pag napapadaan ako sa cafe na tulad ng starbucks.

zoudangles Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 They serve the coffee in paper cups. It has a burnt taste. You have to line up to place your order and get your order before you can sit. The difference is they're all over the place, and if you must have coffee they're the most convenient place to go to.

Mackee Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I guess it's not so much the coffee but the whole experience. Nice and comfortable setting, sosyal crowd (sometimes) and pretty customers (sometimes also). :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

MS Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 perhaps just their frapp. that's the only thing i get from any coffee shops cause am not really a full blooded coffee lover. besides, i already have my starbucks planner for 2009, so less SB na ako Quote Link to comment
roopert Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 i think the taste ? ambience and crowd as well. and ang sarap tumamabay with a caramel frapp in your table... Quote Link to comment
Pantasya Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Certified coffee addict:) and I love the ambiance. Besides, I had the best starbucks experience. That's where my special guy introduced himself to me while j was studying. Too bad the affair had to end... Oh well, the 6 months was worth it:) and I love their planner except this year.

jetlag143 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 the place and the settings......plus the aroma of freshly brewed coffee Quote Link to comment
spetznaz04 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 It's like mcdonald's - nothing special on its own but comforting in that you know what to expect. I'm not a big fan of the quality of the coffee, but when I'm on the road its nice to go into a familar place, have a decent ('tho not great) cup of coffee and relax. Quote Link to comment

immacul8bitca Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Their coffee is okay, but Starbucks is my fave coffee shop because the baristas are nice and friendly. They make getting a cup of coffee better. I used to frequent another coffee shop but their baristas were just annoying, like we were getting in on their nerves by ordering. Quote Link to comment
