Went here early morning. It was just around 6am but the line was a bit long. Had my favorite Signature Hot Chocolate. No issue with it as the taste is consistent whichever branch I go to. But I find this branch small - the area downstairs feel cramped. There was not enough space to stand while you wait to be called for your drink.
This branch is literally a corner away from another Starbucks store (Reserve) both along Rufino Street in Salcedo Village. After visiting the other branch and did not find the bearista i was looking for, took a chance and was pleasantly surprised that they still have the 21st Anniversary Bearista Girl in a beautiful terno dress still in stock. It was not on markdown and was very expensive at 1695pesos. For collector's though it is a prized possession. The Bear looks so nationalistic and very Filipino. Balikbayans are sure to snap one up! The 'kuya' guard was very entertaining and had good knowledge about the merchandise which i appreciate. For the friendliness of the front of house, this branch deserves praise. He was all smiles until I left the branch. Recommended.
This is just near our office so some of my officemates tagged me along to Starbucks to make our purchase from the newly distributed Starbucks card across the office. There was a line even though it was near night time. At the counter, luckily I remembered the combination I ordered in Tim Horton’s. I ordered the drink above and was smitten by the sight of pudding at the chiller. I really love pudding so I ordered that as well.
#ShallIReturn at Starbucks - Salcedo Village?
Of the two Starbucks branches that are found in this iconic intersection between Rufino, and Valero, it’s this one that’s more reliable. The Starbucks Reserve on the other part of the street operates only up to a certain hiur at night, while this runs 24/7.
One of my favorite branches! There is a bigger Starbucks right across the street but this one has faster service since there are less people. It might look like a small branch but there are a lot of seats on the second floor.
Excellent staff and management of this branch. This branch is located right across of Starbucks Reserve Signa Residences branch. At first glance you will think that this branch only offers take out since the area is small but actually they offer a lot of seating upstairs.
Ok one of the 24hr places in the area. So if you have some very important work to do and it's going to be a very long sleepless night, this is the place to be.
It has the main area actually on the second floor above the main counter and entry area. It has plenty of room for you to work and plenty of outlets to use for your laptops and mobiles. However if your going to work here all night please remember to bring a jumper or jacket as it can get very cold. It's better that way, as a cold room and coffee are the remedies to staying awake, well, besides a deadline for your work due the next day! :)
Anyway, for food I had the banapple and several cups of americano's within a 6 hour period. All cool as was able to finalize some very important work for the business! Have Fun with your all night stay here!! :)
This branch is my fave among their branches in the area. Aside from the great factor that they're open 24 hours everyday, the staff are nice. Although they have a lot of orders to complete every time i went there, they made sure that you get your coffee within 10 minutes, which is great right?!
Aside from that, their barista is one the best. I love my coffee hot or cold, they're not too sweet. And when i order their frappe the whipped cream is perfect. Which i dont get when i go to their branch just across the street.
Very nice ambiance. One of the coolest Starbucks branch. :) Everything you expect from Starbucks is here. Nice staff. Fast transaction. Cool ambiance.
