Starbucks Airport Road: A "Blended" Place to Stay at Marina Mall, Mactan

 
I'm a fan of blended beverages (plain coffee as well but only at work) and that's never gonna change. So if you were to check my foursquare profile, Starbucks Airport Road almost topped the list of most checked-ins I've done. The ambiance is OK (they need to provide more couches), as long as you get a comfortable seat for your stay or else you'll have to do some "take out" since most of the time, there are plenty of Koreans drop by and make it as a "tambayan" which I'm not against with, maybe the place is really inviting for them. I got a few shots of this place at night. (click image to enlarge)

Many are asking "What's your fave beverage in there?" and I simply answered just one which is the Mocha Frappucino in Venti size. It's a blissful mixture of chocolate, espresso (i sometimes ask the barista to lessen this, haha), milk and ice. I used to love their Coffee Frappucino but I find this Mocha Frapp better (i'm so into sweets, chocolates, etc.). I also like their Iced Caramel Macchiato and Iced Caffe Mocha or Latte. With the foods, Cookie Crumble Cheesecake with Chips Ahoy is a must try (expensive though). I find those flaked almonds sprinkled above that dark chocolate cake very satisfying (makes you wanna buy more, more, more or just the whole cake. haha).
