Yeah, this is just Starbucks, in a shopping mall, in a corner. Nothing special, right? Well, there's something to it. For some reason, it has been the meeting point for my friends and I in so many ocassions that I've ended up frequenting this place a lot of times in the past few months. Their coffee and tea and everything else are not worth a review, it's very similar to any other Starbucks. However the staff is super friendly and they are always willing to talk to you - this makes it very different to some others where there is no interaction whatsoever.
Located at Level 1 in Pacific Place and close to the entrance it makes for a great spot to meet up and catch up with a friend. If you look at any other café in this shopping mall, you'll see that options are limited: Cova is more formal and higher end, and c'est la B is more of a cake shop and fancier. So if all you want is to have a casual meeting, this is the best spot. Otherwise you can head to Queensway Plaza or Admiralty Centre.
It may be difficult to find seats at some times during the day and there are only a few tables and chairs. As it is right under the escalator, there isn't much natural light.
If there was a nicer casual café in PP serving good coffee, I'd definitely switch to that one but for the time being Starbucks will be my preferred café there. read more
