Starbucks Ali Mall - Quezon

SHAME ON YOU, STARBUCKS ALI MALL CUBAO... We visited yesterday for a coffee, completely unaware of the local government policy that prohibits drinking coffee inside Starbucks if it’s in a take-away cup. My husband and I had just begun sipping our drinks when a security guard informed us that we were not allowed to stay inside unless we had a drink in a stay-in cup. I was taken aback, as there was no sign at the entrance or anywhere else notifying customers of this rule. As visitors from overseas in the Philippines, it was quite disappointing that no one made us aware of the Quezon City policy. A warning to all international travelers: if you plan to stay inside Starbucks, especially at STARBUCKS ALI MALL CUBAO, do not purchase your coffee in a take-away cup.

EXTREMELY ECO-FRIENDLY! I appreciate that they use mugs and plates for dine-in customers. I noticed that if you choose to take your order to go but decide to stay inside the cafe, the staff will kindly let you know that you can’t remain there. So it's important to decide whether you want your drink to go or to enjoy it on-site. I think that approach is very sensible.

You can't go wrong with Starbucks for quick coffee at an affordable price. It's my favorite coffee spot; every flavor has a delightful taste. The seating area is lovely, making it perfect for short meetings, studying, or simply enjoying time with friends.

A cozy spot to relax… it has somehow become a part of my daily routine. Just one Starbucks coffee a day keeps the stress at bay.

It was the typical Starbucks experience. The security guard was exceptional!
