| - Not much of a point in reviewing a Starbucks as they are all somewhat similar across the world - and that's exactly what makes them great. They are extremely consistent in their service and the quality of their beverages and food items that you always know what to expect when you walk into a Starbucks, whether it's in New York, Phnom Penh, Melbourne, or Toronto.
Admittedly I am pretty basic, so obviously I have to be definition love Starbucks, which I do. I like that they accommodate almost any dietary restrictions you may have, which is important for a franchise popular among us basics who start a new diet fad every few years. They have sugar-free syrup options for those on a low-carb diet, they have almond, coconut, and soy milk for those who are on a vegan diet, and obviously their beverages are gluten-free. I do find that their food selection lacks a little compared to the American stores, and why do we still not have the Strawberry Açai Refresher?
Many of the Starbucks locations can get busy from time to time with the number of people taking up spots for hours at a time. No complaints there from my end because I'm one of those people, but it sometimes does lead to some odd people hanging around from time to time, especially at night. They're just odd, not dangerous so it's really not that concerning. The strong wifi at Starbucks also attracts many people as you don't even have to order a drink to use it, which can sometimes cause issues if the network gets too congested, as it might prevent you from accessing the web.
The online ordering option has been great for those with a really complex order to appease their sophisticated palette. It's also been useful for times when there is an enormous line so you can just sit somewhere and wait rather than having to stand. I find that it's often not great for ordering food, as they often say they have something on the app which ends up being out of stock in the store - but it's useful for ordering drinks.
I decided to review this Starbucks because it's the closest one to my place and I needed to write more reviews before the end of the year. This location in particular is somewhat different from the other locations as they are larger and offer a selection of reserve roasts. I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any means though, so I wouldn't be able to tell you what's good coffee unless it was really awful. Although it's the closest location to my place, it's not my most visited as it is often quite crowded so it's not the ideal Starbucks location if I'm looking to just grab and go. The Longo's down the street has a small Starbucks that almost never has a line so that's usually where I go for a quick pick up. Nevertheless, this is a good Starbucks location if you're looking to kill some time and prefer being in the middle of a crowd.
