Es mi sucursal favorita de todas las de Starbucks que he visitado, el servicio de los chicos es muy amable, buen ambiente para charlar o llevar tu lap y hacer un trabajo pendiente, siempre está limpio, la calidad de los alimentos siempre es buena. Me encanta el Latte helado pero si gustan algo tradicional sin cafeína está el chocolate mexicano, todos los postres están recomendadísimos <3

Delicious coffee, a bit expensive, but still way cheaper than US Starbucks, where a medium iced latte will run you $6 and change (120 pesos). The variety of iced flavors is fantastic. It never ceases to amaze me that iced coffee is more popular in Canada than in Mexico.
