A solid 3.5 star Starbucks that is located upstairs in the new Holt Renfrew hallway.
Most mall Starbucks are lacklustre but they do serve decent coffee when you're dying for a caffeine hit. This one in particular was actually quite amazing as it has a CLOVER! For all those who truly like good coffee, the clover is a programmable brewing system that takes in account everything... time, temp, pressure, and it's programmed at HQ for each specific bean. They only use their reserve beans for Clover. If there is ever a time to drink coffee black at Starbucks... this would be it.
The service wasn't very fast but I dont blame the staff... they had at least 6 people at all times going at it. The people who are not used to ordering at Starbucks was dragging down the wait time in a PAINFUL way. I almost feel like they need a primer ... I digress.
They do have several tables off to the side to enjoy your coffee. It was quite packed during a random Sunday and I would say it's probably hard to snag the tables for 4. I wouldnt say this is a good place to work but a decent place to people watch. Especially for those who struggle painfully to order a medium double double.
