Starbucks - Matina IT Park — Restaurant in Davao City

I love coming to Davao City, and my partner Eva, whose hometown it is, has only shown me the Starbucks in the 2 SM's Malls and Albreeze Mall too!! Anyway I went to the SM Lanang to the Starbucks there, but due to lots of delegates in the Convention Centre and amazing views overlooking the ground floor of the Mall it took around 25 minutes to place an order then 30 minutes until the drink was ready!!! The Convention continues today and tomorrow, so I was determined to find another Starbucks in Davao City that would be a suitable alternative and quicker too!!! Just before I crossed the bridge over the river, someone asked where I was walking 🚶‍♂️ and I told him to Starbucks hopefully a mile away and was told there's no Starbucks there, but that wasn't going to deter me so I continued walking along General Douglas MacArthur Highway and after a mile on the right Just after S+R Membership Shopping and between Alorica and United Davao Specialists Hospital & Medical Centre was this Starbucks!!! What a little gem too and far too underused, too!!!! Also, there is no queuing and super friendly staff with the bonus of lots of comfortable seating too, maybe 20 plus on the ground floor, but 60 plus upstairs too!!! My suggestion is if you qet a chance, please call in and experience a great...

Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee but also connection. They’re a neighborhood gathering place, a part of our daily routine. Get to know them and we’ll see: they are so much more than what they brew. They call their employees partners because they are all partners in shared success. They make sure everything they do is through the lens of humanity—from their commitment to the highest-quality coffee in the world, to the way they engage with their customers and communities to do business...

Second time I've ordered from this place in grab. Both times the orders have been wrong when arrived. First one drinks weren't even in the order! I don't go to Starbucks for the pastries... second one they sent a 3 day old cinnamon roll wrapped in paper, thus the icing was all plastered every where accept the bun! Bottom line, STARBUCKS CHARGES A PREMIUM! I should get a premium product. I can get iced coffee and delicious pastries 3 blocks from here for 200p. I'll be doing that...
