This afternoon, I stopped by Starbucks for a little break, ordered a Mocha Frappuccino and a slice of cheesecake, hoping to add a bit of sweetness to my busy day. Overall, the dining experience was standard, stable in performance, without too many surprises, but also no disappointments.

The Mocha Frappuccino is one of Starbucks' classic items. It had a decent texture, with a creamy consistency, and the chocolate flavor of the mocha blended well with the coffee. However, it was a bit too sweet, and as I drank it, it became somewhat monotonous and slightly cloying. The whipped cream on top, while smooth, was a bit oily, which didn't really add to the experience for me. Overall, those who enjoy sweet drinks might find it pretty good, but for those who prefer a robust coffee flavor or lower sweetness, it might not be suitable.

The cheesecake performed adequately, with a rich cheese flavor, but the texture was a bit heavy. It paired well with the drink, but eating it alone felt like it lacked a bit of complexity. The crust was also a bit crumbly and didn't support the overall texture well.

In general, the quality of Starbucks' food still maintains a basic standard, making it suitable for a brief rest or finding a place to work. This experience can be described as "not bad but also not amazing," a reliable choice where you know what to expect but don't anticipate too much.

Starbucks still has a certain standard.

Generally speaking, I don’t come here to taste coffee☕️, I come here to drink drinks🥤.

I treat blended coffee as a drink, Frappuccino, latte, mocha, caramel macchiato... I treat them all as drinks🥤.

The beef croissant is also a must-order for afternoon tea. I forgot to take a photo and ate it in two bites.
