Starbucks — Restaurant in Balikpapan

The Starbucks location feels a bit tight, which limits the space for moving around comfortably. There is a ceiling AC unit that is leaking, which can make the environment less pleasant. The cappuccino tastes consistent with other Starbucks outlets, maintaining the expected standard. However, cleanliness could be improved, particularly given the compact space.
