Food anatomization : Starbucks, Seasons Mall - Pune

Having two Starbucks in nearby malls in Magarpatta, is a boon. Always a place to fall by for some coffee or having some quick bites.

The ambiance of the one in Season's mall is great, I like the décor and the lighting of the place.
Feels totally smooth, chilled and relaxed!!
The seating arrangements are nice - sofa seating plus table-chair combo. The walls have posters of coffee, variety of coffee beans and a map of the world denoting the COFFEE BELT - interesting, adds a coffee touch to the place in totality.
And not to forget the lovely greet that you receive as you enter the place, really adds to the feel good factor.

My favorite here as always is the JAVA MOCHA CHIP COLD COFFEE - a blend of cold coffee with milk, ice, whipped cream loaded with choco chips and mocha drizzle - my absolute favorite. Awesome :)
One thing I always admire about Starbucks is their consistency in their drinks is always intact.

Tried the hot chocolate recently with loads of crème. It was lip smackingly good! Sipping on it on a winter
evening - what more can you ask for!!

Bliss :)

Came here to try their summer special mango menu - they flaunted of the ALPHONSO MANGO FRAPPUCCINO and the S'MORES FRAPPUCCINO.

ALPHONSO MANGO FRAPPUCCINO crafted for the mango lovers - blend of Alphonso Mango, milk, ice and whipped cream topping. The drink was not something extraordinary - more than the Alphonso mango - seemed to contain more flavored syrup. Really the drink did not elevate my experience here. :|
The S'MORES FRAPPUCCINO was a layered drink - started with the marshmallows infused whipped crème, milk, chocolate sauce, coffee , a blend of vanilla and ended again with marshmallows infused whipped crème again. You will have pieces of graham crackle crumble in your mouth through your journey of sipping on to the drink - a tad bit sweet salty taste - actually kind of an enhancer for the drink. Wouldn't say, I loved it as much as JAVA MOCHA CHIP COLD COFFEE - but it definitely added to something different that I tried here.

I wanted to try something not all chocolatey or sweet, which is when the server suggested I should try the TAHITIAN VANILLA MACCHIATO - strong espresso with caramel drizzle and vanilla bean pod sprinklings on top. With a mix of strong flavours of espresso and cream on the top, it made an interesting drink. So you have dose of bold coffee and the sweetness from the cream.

The staff as always is courteous and ready to help you with options.
