strong_cock Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 They're all the same cup of coffee to me... The place is ok, environment is good but same as all other coffee shop. Starbucks in Manila doubles as a library. People buy a coffee and stay there for 3 hours or more! I went to one branch in makati for a business meeting..i couldn't find a seat coz some people spend half a day sitting there with one cup of coffee. I think it's acceptable to stay for an hour, max of 2 hours...but staying there for 5 hours or more and you only bought 1 coffee....sobra naman yata yan. I think if this goes on, places like Starbucks will introduce a minimum spend and max stay so people dont use it as their hang out especially students who i saw bought 1 tall frap and there are 6 of them sharing it! ROFLMGDAO....if i offended anyone in here, that's a fact... Quote Link to comment

batang_yakult Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I read in one article that Starbuck's in America is loved in America because they have a higher level of caffeine compared to other brands. Magtatataas na nga raw ng presyo ang Istarbucks sa America. Huss mag Nescafe na lang kayo Quote Link to comment

masi Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 besides serving good coffee (there are many coffee bars which serve better), it's all over the place. you dont need to look for it, it finds you. unlike the local coffee bars where you have to deliberately go to. starbuck allows their customer to enjoy the environment uniquely theirs. you are not press to leave after you consume your java. this is a business motto, sorry for those who can't find seats but starbuck won't shoo out their customers. their barristas are amiable, warm and have product knowledge... go ahead try talking to them about coffee. that's why they have a following.

citriX Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 good coffee! :cool: Quote Link to comment
junkstuff Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Starbucks seems to be popular all over the world. Whereever I travel in Europe, US, or Asia, there is always a Starbucks around. For me, it is too bitter, and over-rated. There are usually better options. But that's just my opinion:) Quote Link to comment
limpbwisit Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 well, i'm not a fan either... but i would say that they have a certain ambiance that is unique and quite relaxing and inviting... Quote Link to comment

MODERATOR tamago Posted October 19, 2004 MODERATOR Share Posted October 19, 2004 they have a certain ambiance that is unique and quite relaxing and inviting...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>how true, limpbwisit. it feels good to kick back inside Starbucks. kung may pera ako, papa design ko yung kwarto ko tulad ng interior ng Starbucks, minus the coffee. baka di na ako makatulog kung may kape sa tabi e hehehei'm cutting back on the coffee, so i order brownies whenever i'm there. sarap! sulit na yung P35. pampasira ng tyan Quote Link to comment
ayrton Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 i'm not a starbucks fan but they do make a mean frap. they are similar to mcdonald's. very popular. you see them just about anywhere. not really the best tasting products but they have excellent business practices kaya sila lumaki ng ganyan.
