Starbucks Sm City Batangas

I love SB! Not too crowded plus customers has the initiative to clean up their own mess which is a good manner.

Atmosphere is quite suffocating because of crowded people. But it's a convenient to have a coffee.

Fancy coffee shop. Nothing beats the local brew called kapeng barako ng Batangas. I grew up in the area and my maternal grandmother used to grow, harvest and brew Arabica (and possibly, Robusta) coffee. I think the volcanic soil makes a difference in the taste of coffee. Food wise, all western based food. The fancy coffee here isn 't that great if you ask me. However, the fact that Starbucks is an American company, it is popular to well-off locals including the hordes of grade school and highschool students from local exclusive schools. I still wonder what these youngsters are ordering. It can 't be coffee for their age. So why rate five stars, you ask. Well, there is really nothing local to compare it with. Coffee wise, my grandmother 's Kapeng Barako still tops any fancy brew from Starbucks or Gloria Jean 's.

Sadly the cake was not delicious Not really the best coffee either But the crew was cheerful

Way too small of a place. Needs to open at 6 am for early risers and open until 10 pm or later.
