While I visited several Starbucks during my business trip to the BC area and this was the only Starbucks that had any commemorative cups let alone the one that I wanted. And for that alone I'm giving this location 5 stars. I should say in all seriousness that I didn't have any issues with my drink and food order and I was served quickly and in a friendly manner. The location had plenty of comfy seats for me to chill out and have my coffee and snack before getting back on the road.

I HAD to return! I've been craving another one of their mocha lattes!…read more I just had to see if the craft was consistent visit to visit. Yes, I'm glad to report! I returned and ordered the same drink mocha latte with soy and it was just as delicious as my first visit-not a first time fluke! I brought my mother and ordered a gluten free muffin this time. I like the muffin more than the gluten free loaf slice on my previous visit. Both baristas were super friendly to all the patrons who came and went during our stay. Tip: If you choose to dine in, your beverages and food will be served on dish wear accompanied with metal cutlery in place of paper cups and plates. It's a nice touch that upgrades your visit to a cafe instead of a grab and go spot.

I decided to stop here for a drink after avoiding this place for several years. It was not busy on…read morea Saturday afternoon. The heat was probably keeping people away during the hottest time of the day. I had a matcha latte. It was ok. Not too sweet and pretty foamy. The place was quite cozy with books lining the shelves and the bench covered with throws which made it looked inviting. But I'm a bit leery of sitting on that as sometimes I wonder how often those throws are washed. I rather sit in regular chairs where it can be wiped down easily to clean if needed. The food looked good but we didn't try any as we already ate. Maybe next time if I'm in the area.

What a great little Starbucks, centrally located in Kits on MacDonald at West 16th. Ok, perhaps…read moreit's not so "little", since it occupies a large corner spot on the block. There's a few parking spots reserved for customers in the alley in the back, plus some free parking on W. 16th, and metered parking on MacDonald. (I had no trouble getting a few street parking spot on W.16th). Tons of light in this store due to all the windows and being on the corner. And it seemed like ample seating, including some oversized armchairs. The staff here were very friendly. I had no trouble returning an item, and I ordered a beverage (somewhat complicated order) and it came out great.

The music is a tad too loud than I prefer. you'd have to raise your voice a bit to make natural conversation. Its too loud if you just need a quiet place to read a book when drinking coffee. They should turn it down a notch. I ordered a grande mocha hot chocolate with extra mocha pumps and toppings. It was pretty good in terms of taste, also not too sweet. The temperature wasn't too scalding hot so it was drinkable right away. The hot chocolate had a bit more grainy texture than I'd like but not enough to make me choke. Some of the previous yelp reviews about the rude staff is unfortunately correct. The staff lady's tone was kinda rude when I went to the wrong counter for picking up my mobile order. (The Starbucks i usually go to has the pick up counter on the right corner, not the left) She could have said to please go to the other side but said something rather rudely in a accent I didn't totally understand. It sounded like she said they didn't get any mobile orders at all. I just told im picking up a mobile order again and she said to go to the pick up counter on the other side. But the rude and dismissive tone I got in the first place was unexpected and kinda soured my visit. Overall, this Starbucks makes good hot drinks with a nice and spacious seating area. Too bad the staff needs to learn to talk in a friendlier manner.

The coffee isn't my favourite brand (Parallel 49) so I typically won't go for my usual black or americano but I'm not mad that it's an excuse to treat myself to a cappuccino with brown sugar.

It smelled delicious but didn't really taste like what you'd expect. There wasn't any pistachio flavor and it pretty much just tasted like warm milk or warm watered down coffee. I don't recommend this drink. Unsatisfied, I went back and asked the barista to please make me a gingerbread latte instead. She happily changed my order for me with no fuss and I left feeling good that I had a drink I would actually enjoy. The gingerbread latte is not overly sweet but it smells and tastes delicious - just like Christmas!
