Starbucks The Mactan Newtown — Restaurant in Lapu-Lapu

There can be a long line in some mornings so I would not suggest this place if you want a quick grab & go. I regularly drink Starbucks but their drink here is generally sweeter compared to the standard blend. I've asked the barista to repeat the drink but it still does not quite taste the superb starbucks quality. I could rate it as passable especially if you are running late and you need to go asap.

Internet is weak. If you want to pay digitally it would be best to screenshot the bar code before entering the door. I've been trying to order by app and call for curbside pick up but it has never been successful due to several hiccups. Example the app does not register me as near the premises to allow me to order or choices of food are so limited to only one or none at all.

This place is sadly the worst Starbucks I've been to. I sincerely hope they will improve their services because it's conveniently close...

Iced Grande Pure Matcha Latte Sub Oat milk with three pumps of white mocha (60php for milk substitution and 35php for additional customization or it may depend) 🍵

female baristas are attentive and pretty hehe. they were so easy to approach, especially for someone who is shy about making orders. they’re very accommodating.

drink was good bcos i’m a fan of matcha, and i enjoyed the drink. however, i’d say the atmosphere is not suitable for people who like calm and quiet environments or even for people who would like to do something like reading indoors, since most of the time it’s crowded and a little bit noisy.

as for the wifi connectivity, i wish they wouldn’t limit it to only an hour, since some customers stay for longer hours to do work or read, and most of them order again as a courtesy for staying long. i think it’s just fair.

drinks are highly recommended...

Starbucks Mactan Newtown stands out as one of my favorite branches. The place is spotless, cozy, and truly relaxing—ideal for working, studying, or just enjoying a cup of coffee in peace. Its warm and inviting setup makes you feel comfortable and encourages you to linger a little longer.

What truly makes this branch stand out is the service. The baristas consistently greet us with warm smiles every time we enter and always thank us after our purchase, which makes every visit feel extra welcoming. Special recognition to Monique, Mae, Tene, Cromwell, Adrian, and Argie for their friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism. Kudos to the whole team for creating such a positive experience that makes customers want to keep coming back.

All in all, this branch truly earns a full 5 stars for its excellent beverages, warm atmosphere, and exceptional...
