I remembered the opening of this Starbucks a while ago. Very excited to get a Starbucks around my corner. Packed! I was one of the lucky customers to get a goodie bag. In the first couple of weeks I visited the shop quite frequently. After that I started to come less and less. Today, A year later I got back on a rainy Friday night, being the only customer. I have to say, it's winter and a quarter to 9.
I like most of the beans. Their quality is my reason for getting Coffees here . No lattes or flavors for me anymore. Starbucks used to be the place that introduced me to coffee, so sweet that it became drinkable. Starbucks is where my coffee addiction started when I was just a teenager. Sweet became less sweet and in the end I stopped drinking sugar in my coffee.
Now I'm just another coffee addict, addicted to its bitter taste.
Drinking a Columbia latte, some light Jazz in the background. A little lonely, but better than the place where I had to fight for a place to sit.
Staff can be a bit loud sometimes, but they have their hart in the right place.
A tip for improvement: more black coffees from the bun. We in Antwerp know coffee. Give us what you got. read more
