Seattle's Best Coffee - Fiesta Carnival Araneta City — Restaurant in Quezon City

The shop is located at the Strip of Fiesta Carnival (The former place of Shopwise) and in front of Novotel Hotel Cubao. The place is quite big and somewhat can accommodate a group of people. They also have an alfresco dining. The ambiance is typical coffee vibes - cozy and relaxing.

The barista are nice and attentive to our orders. We ordered Iced Salted Caramel Mocha, Black and White Mocha. Ham and Cheese Panini and Cheesy Ensaymada. The coffees that we ordered is quite strong and we can't taste the mocha and salted caramel mocha in it, which is quite underwhelming. Though their Cheesy Ensaymada and Ham and Cheese Panini were delicious and served hot.

Overall we had a good dining experience here. Hope the Barista could tone down the strong flavos of their coffee or the ratio of the coffee and added flavors in...

Came in on a Sat afternoon so the cafe was pretty crowded. Guess many people were trying to escape the heat. Ordered a medium ice latte (175pesos) and double pecan chocolate cookie to dine in.

When the drink came, I was shocked to see that it came in a plastic take-out cup like I was having KFC. Just blew my mind that a cafe would do this. Totally ruin any atmosphere left.

The coffee itself was bad too. Watered down and I'm sure I could get better iced coffee from 7-11.

Lastly the cookie: it was so tough that I had to put in quite some effort to cut it with a fork. The chewiness was akin to having chewing gum.

Oh and the sofa seats were pretty dirty. Like they weren't cleaned for some time. Sit at your own risk.

We come here to relax, not to be met with sarcasm from the crew just because we asked to borrow some utensils.

How are we supposed to enjoy our Javakula without a straw? We were told to use a stirrer—which we tried—but it didn’t help at all. I understand that paper straws are only given for take-out, but when we asked for a teaspoon, the barista responded with, “For what? The drink? You can use the stirrer.” Thankfully, our companion explained that the stirrer wasn’t working, and they eventually gave us one spoon—even though we had asked for two.

Also, let’s not get started with the AC.

I’ve seen past reviews with similar experiences, so I hope this can...
