Starbucks - The Vantage at Kapitolyo

A very nice new Starbucks. Very spacious, clean and the staff are very friendly. Coffee and food were as per usual. A good place to relax and cool down if you are in the Kapitolyo area.

First time to try their strawberry acai lemonade and the venti size only cost 179 php. Highly recommend this if you're a strawberry lover like me and if you want a new drink to try. Also had their sausage and bacon flatbread for free using my coupon. Staff are super friendly and approachable. And the ambiance and environment is conducive for doing wfh set-up and for students who's doing school paperworks.

We went here for after-dinner coffee cap and in search of Blackpink merch, food, and drinks. This branch was stocked! Plus there were no long queues! The coffee were well crafted as always and the desserts tasted fresh and yummy. The staff had the usual cheerful Starbucks-brand disposition. The only thing I did not like was the crowd were mostly people who went there to study and work on their laptops. It made us conscious speaking to each other or laughing during conversations. The please-be-quiet atmosphere was such a buzz kill.

Summary: Great food and baristas but always in a rush to close

As great as any Starbucks out there in terms of the coffee and food, hence the 5 stars under food.

4 stars for service since the baristas are all nice and courteous. However, one time we requested for the free grounds and the barista on duty seemed clueless about it, even though they have a poster near the entrance saying customers can request grounds to be used as potting soil. It's just a minor thing, so I'm only deducting one star.

2 stars for atmosphere since they will start setting up the outdoor chair and tables for closi…

One of the Starbucks that you have to wait in line for awhile.

Service is slow and they kick you out at 10. Guard will come up to you and make you leave.

Quality and service in this branch is a joke. They don't even call out your name when the drinks are ready.
