Starbucks Keyland Center — Restaurant in Makati

Ambience The branch is pretty wide with a good mix of seats, including high chairs at the bar, a few couches near one wall, many regular tables, a giant table at the center, and a couple extra seats outside.

Beverage I can describe the new Strawberry Honey Blossom Frappuccino in two simple words: "Strawberry Milkshake." It's not a far leap from the Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino and the honey isn't that noticeable.

I was able to get a FREE taste of the new Nitro Cold Brew. I learned from the barista that it has extra velvety foam and can only be availed in tall and grande sizes. It's that strong. :) It actually had a strong kick to it!

Service My barista was very informative and the transaction at the counter was...

Good coffee place offering small lot coffee of Starbucks. Baristas here are, in general, more skilled in coffee making than your usual Starbs. However, only a select few of their baristas can really give you your money's worth of Starbucks reserve coffee. It is a hit and miss when it comes to that. But, I have found that the male baristas are more consistent in making really good coffee. As for choices in reserve coffees, the offerings change every month or so. However, all of the reserve coffee choices are very strong cups of coffee and are not for those who go to Starbucks...

A slightly hidden Starbucks Reserve along Dela Rosa St.

Fairly quiet during early morning hours, not sure about later hours but for sure it can get quite packed especially since it’s near offices and Makati Med.

There are sockets on some of the seats especially the ones near the wall and the couches area. Good for those looking to work for a while here.

Probably not an ideal spot for online meetings though as for sure it can get quite noisy...
