Starbucks

I always feel warm and safe inside a Starbucks local. In this opportunity the barista was extra special and made this feeling even more real as she said hello to each customer and confirmed the beverage choice before start making it. She also answered my questions about how she did the best #PSL that I had in the last 4 years. Congrats to the girls at the Saint-Denis corner with Ontario Est streets in Montreal.

The (English Breakfast) tea at Starbucks is nice tasting, but it is just a bit anemic for my taste. A full bodied tea should be just that. Apart from that, Starbucks is a great place to visit and definitely deserves it's following of very loyal customers. That's, of course, as long as you don't want to sit down, as most of the seats are seemingly occupied by students and their laptops nursing a single small coffee for way too long.

Starbucks is a global franchise- with regional offerings found at select locations. Starbucks locations within the region of Montréal, Québec qualifying as such. When visiting from outside of Québec, it's useful to keep in mind that menu items are listed explicitly in the French language. Rest assured that classic Starbucks offerings are available here, as well as specialties, specific to the region. This location is moderately-spacious and attracts moderate to high traffic on a given evening. Given that this location features regional specialties, it has considerable value for non-Québec residents looking to experience local offerings. French Canada is culturally rich, with popular franchises introducing recherché selections, just waiting to be discovered. My visit, provided an equal distribution of familiarity & the anomalous- meeting my expectations as a visitor from the United States. The magic of Montréal can be found at Starbucks on St.Denis.

Loved the setting, plenty of space to sit, and large windows to look to the outside. Employees are fast. Some people say employees are racist or rude. I went three times, and I did not get that impression (but, I did not deal with all of them, nor plenty of times, so idk). I especially liked the tall blond girl, very attentive, had the best customer skills.
