This was my first time at a Starbucks Reserve in over a decade, and my first time at a bar located in SR. I came in on a Wednesday night at 8pm, it was empty and we were seated right away.
The entire store and bar is very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. There's 3 floors, the bottom floor which located another bar, the main floor which is street level and has the coffee bar and merch, and the top floor which included the Arriviamo Bar.
Our server was very nice but didn't catch his name. We couldn't choose which drinks to get so we settled on the espresso martini flight which includes their espresso martini, double matcha espresso margarita, and ube espresso martini.
* Espresso martini: tasted good, foam was perfect sweetness, can barely taste the alcohol
* Double matcha margarita: good, matcha foam was good, you can definitely taste the tequila in this but they seem to use good tequila
* Ube martini: nice sweet drink, but doesn't taste like ube at all (to be expected, but the ube cold foam on their regular coffee drinks has more of a hint of ube than this drink does)
* Matcha butterfly pea swirl cake: has a nice dense texture, light taste of matcha, butterfly pea cream also has a thick creamy texture and a very light taste, perfect snack for a drink with a strong taste
Overall good experience, would definitely be back to try the other drinks here and downstairs. read more
