Starbucks Reserve Powerplant Mall — Restaurant in Makati

Starbucks Reserve Rockwell has the most beautiful interior design of all Starbucks I've seen so far. It is the most crowded as well. My partner loves the unique outdoor seating, which actually looks like a waiting area. This area kept us warm as the indoor dining area was too cold yesterday.

Yesterday was our 2nd visit to Starbucks Reserve branch in Rockwell. We tried their limited edition Frappucinos, Acai Mixed Berry Yogurt and Apricot and Peach Yogurt.

Both tasted really good. The bursting pearls, which I call popping pearls, give excitement to Acai Mixed Berry Yogurt Frappucino. Get this beverage if you prefer a mixture of sweet and sour drink that will make you go kilig after every sip! Apricot and Peach Yogurt is simply delicious. We prefer Apricot and Peach Yogurt to Acai Mixed Berry Yogurt when it comes to taste but both were really good. Give them a try!

It's my first Starbucks Reserve experience and from the moment you enter alone, it totally doesn't feel like a normal Starbucks branch - from the usual "fast coffee" feel to its modern and relaxed layout to couches and actual leather-covered menus til the baristas making your order first before you pay - such a premium experience wherein people are meant to stay and chat and just enjoy rather than just do transactions. I finally got to order too the Nitro Cold Brew here and I love how subtle yet smooth it tastes - a bit quite too foamy but when you get past it, it's just addictively good that I wish they had it in all their branches. Peaceful to work here with the inviting sofas and sockets were widely...

Anyone used to visiting Starbucks Reserve branches in the Philippines will know that this branch is standard Reserve fare. Expect the slightly elevated ambiance, Reserve drinks and other menu items, etc. The branch is relatively spacious, with plenty of seats available. But as with any Starbucks in the PH, expect it to get full during weekends and other non-office hours. Service is quick enough, given how busy the branch usually is. Drinks are on par with other local Reserve branches I have been to. There is free wifi courtesy of the mall itself, so it can be a good place to stay for a while to study or get some work done. The only downside I see is it tends to close earlier than other...
