Starbucks Shell SLEX Drive-Thru (North bound) — Restaurant in Biñan

This review is reference to the Covid season the whole world is experiencing.

The place is spot on following CV19 safety protocols. They also have tracing capability using QR codes that your iphone can photo-of it and will bring you to the portal needed for contact tracing.

The staff as always are courteous may it be before or this times that there are less patrons.

The coffee is where my issue lies. I ordered a 3x Venti NF CM. The taste was stale compare to other SB branches and the reason as explained was the expresso machine they were using. I did not get the LeMarz model but it was explained that this machine is for high volume orders hence there is a slight change on the strenght of your coffee.

So, if you're particular on a bold stronger coffee taste, go to other branches like the one at Caltex NB SLEX. If you're a group or family of ordering more than 5, go to this branch, it's fast and efficient but a bit weak on...

I was very surprised with this Starbucks branch. I rarely go to Starbucks' that are in gas stations, but this one was very different. The Atmosphere was very bright and lively. The baristas were friendly and even though there was a line, it was moving at a quick pace. The crew was very efficient and the wait time was not that long. This is always a plus in my book, specially when I'm at a cafe like Starbucks. Considering this was on a busy Sunday, they were very good with the service. Food and drink wise, it was the expected quality. I got my usual Venti Choco Frappe and my wife got here coffee. We had the cinnamon roll which was a tad bit dry, but the blue berry cheesecake was heavenly. Their donuts aren't half bad either. Overall, it was a pleasing experience, and we would definitely be back at this Starbucks, not only to gas up but to chill and enjoy some pastries and some quality...

The branch is wide and cozy with different types of seats and tables. Service meets expectations and I can say the same for their Caramel Macchiato and Cafe Mocha.

Berry Peach Cream Frappuccino Being a sweet tooth made this beverage very enjoyable. Each sip was refreshing with a thick and creamy consistency as expected of Frappuccinos I usually enjoy. There are times where I'd start wondering if a fruit shake would've been better, but this works for me too.

Before these fruity summer flavors were a thing, I would usually get a Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino with 1-2 pumps raspberry syrup and no whipped cream. It still stands pretty solid in my collection...
