starbucks coffee

i was super eager to try out starbucks but couldn't quite visit it for long till this time.

the starbucks here is a bit restricted on space may be because its in a mall.

it was strange to see the cafe empty on a friday evening but good for us we got to pick the best place to sit.

first time ordering anywhere can be tough and indeed it was. looking at the menu i was clueless and ordered an iced caramel machhiato on a whim and my friend ordered a hot white chocolate mocha.

the drinks were delivered quite fast. and i was excited to sip into the caramel flavours. boy oh boy was i in for a surprise. the drink tasted nothing like caramel. it was bitter and full of ice cubes and that's about what i can remember. it was yo say the least pathetic.
the other drink white chocolate mocha was a saver it was the opposite of what i had ordered. great taste, the bitterness of coffee was complemented by the white chocolate and it was very good.

its a good place if you know what to order. and my advice do notorderanything iced.

hot is the way to go here.

next visit i'll try out the range of frappuccinos.

adiós.
order smart and be happy.

finally tasted the 'ferrari' of beverages...starbucks coffee ????
to be frank, i ended up paying 240 bucks for a cup(435 ml) of coffee. no complaints regarding the quality though. thanks to western media, was super excited to have this coffee. i visited their store at sujana mall, hyderabad. ordered caramel macchiato..forgive me if i have spelled it wrong. opted for this based on a review which i read. coffee was sweet enough even without adding additional sachets of sugar. i'm not complaining but it wasn't too hot. while ordering, they asked if we would have it in store ot take it away. awed by the ambience and aroma in the store, opted for having in the store. they took about 10 minutes to serve our order. while waiting for the order, they were serving promotional tiny cups of berry flavoured frappachino(this is part of the name which i remember, the steward told me a technical name though). after tasting this tiny cup(80-100ml), my expectations went to the next level. i loved its taste, may be because i didn't have to pay for it. just kidding, i loved it and felt that i should have tasted it before giving myorderof caramel macchiato. eventually myorderarrived and i was disappointed seeing that the coffee was served in coffee mug rather than the signature starbucks container. later i learnt that only take away orders are served in those cups.
as the name of the coffee which i ordered had caramel in it, the coffee was sweet but not too sweet. usually in coffee day, you get to taste a bitter coffee initially and then you add sugar to your taste. but this starbucks coffee was in contrast. the top layer was decorated with caramel. sorry couldn't include this image as i drank my first sips with eagerness and later though of writing a coffee. i've ordered for the largest coffee quantity, they call it 'grande'...true...i took good two minutes to realize the best way to handle the cup. flavour of the coffee was mild. milk wasn't too creamy, i liked it that way and you got to have a lot of appetite to complete the grande size cup of coffee.
i'd rate this coffee 3.5/5.
i've a a suggestion for starbucks here, it would be great if they can display all the items on their menu so that it can be easy for a customer like me to order. the menu card has some names which i've hardly heard before.
overall it was a good experience not a great one because i wasn't aware of many things. hopefully my next visit should be a great one.
you will find white sugar, brown sugar and chocolate powder to add to your beverage.
