This is the Starbucks location that sits on the first floor of Fashion Drive, an upscale mega-mall that sits in Monterrey's posh San Pedro neighborhood.
I came here a few times while visiting this fine city.
The first time around, I stopped by to get an iced tea and a pastry after getting done shopping. The baristas were nice people, processing my order in a short amount of time. I found this shop to be clean and efficiently run. The other patrons were locals to San Pedro, a fine group of people.
This shop has seating inside, but both times I came here, it was packed. So I sat at one of their tables outside their shop, in the main mall area. I was able to enjoy my drink and take in the environment.
The second time I came here, I stopped for a cold brew and another pastry. It was a quick stop on my way to the mall to buy some last minute items before my flight home. Much like the first time, the baristas took good care of me.
You'll find many of the same offerings at this Starbucks as in the US. But, alas, every location will bring you a slightly different experience. This particular location did a good job, I would return here the next time I find myself in San Pedro. read more
