What's So Special About Starbucks?

[black_label]

None, but I collect their reloadable cards.

For coffee, I usually just order black/brewed.

Overpriced lang talaga but i guess justified naman bec of the place. Yun nga lang nakakainis yung mga pretentious type na mga tao. Alam nyo na yun haja

Nothing special about the overpriced coffee. It is like having an iPhone, status symbol. However, the service is better than some coffee shops (i.e. Seattle's Best and Costa Coffee) and I like the ambiance and the crowd. I prefer Dunkin Donuts for brewed coffee.

hmm.. wala. Status symbol lang talaga.

Just went here yesterday and they offer me a sample of their black brew something. Honestly, it tasted like nescafe coffee left on the table for days. I'm not paying good money for that. I can do that at home.

i may have said it before, but i'll just say it again - nothing's really special about their drinks or food.

 

however, in my favorite branch, the baristas are good when it comes to customer service.

 

1. it was my fault that i forgot to tell them to lessen the ice of my drink. i went back to the bar and asked one barista to please take out some ice. thr senior member of the crew insisted in replacing my drink. he prepared a new one and handed it to ke, no questions asked. again, it was my fault, but the person decided to take the loss and just replace it outright.

 

2. as i am a regukar of the said branch, as soon as i stood in line one of the baristas asked me if i would be having my favorite drink. once i said yes, he immediately prepared it and as i was paying for it, the drink was placed on the counter along with my pastry. i left the cashier with both drink and pastry on my tray. i didn't have to wait.

 

3. they know when to approach me for anything and when to leave me alone.

 

so yeah, it's not just the coffee and food that some people go there for. some actually enjoy the service the employees give to their customers.

It's convenient for me-- fresh coffee when you want it.

You pay for the coffee experience. Great ambience, perfect place to study, relax, hold meeting (Pero iwas lang sa branch na ginawang tambayan lang at walang man lang inorder)

It feels like home at halos kabisado mo na menu.

Am just wondering, it is almost close to midnight, there are still people sipping coffee here. Don't they have sleeping problem at all after downing a strong coffee. In my case, after work I no longer drink coffee but instead beer to perk me up.
